Notes

- Using unsweetened pea protein powder and increasing the sweetener is a great option too.
- You can use other type of canned white beans for this recipe like Great Northern or Cannaleli.
- To make this a protein cookie dough dip, slowly stir in about 6 Tablespoons or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
