I have a few ideas:
Hummus. You can buy it pre-made in various flavor. I buy from the cold case at whole foods. It's full of protein. You can make your own as well-
Hummus- 2 cloves garlic—roughly chopped ¼ cup lemon juice ¼ cup water 14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)—rinsed and drained ½ cup tahini 1 teaspoon sea salt How about a crustless, light cheesecake "pudding" 1/2 c. splenda
8 oz. light or fat free cream cheese-softened
8 oz. Cool Whip Light
1 tsp. vanilla
Whip all ingrdients together with hand mixer until creamy. Put into pie plate or casserole dish until set.
How about a creamy black bean soup? 2 cans black beans 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 2 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 heaping teaspoon chili powder 1 heaping teaspoon cumin 1/2 cup cream Tabasco and red pepper, to taste Chopped green onions (optional) Sour Cream Heat olive oil in heavy saucepan and saute onions, celery, and garlic, stirring occasionally until tender, around 3-5 minutes. Stir in beans, chicken broth, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce h eat, and simmer, partially covered, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly and puree the soup in small batches in a blender. Return to pot and blend in cream. Season with hot sauce and red pepper to taste. Strain through sieve to remove skins and lumps. Heat gently and serve in deep bowls sprinkled with onions and sour cream.
