Who’s says the only good tasting green dip is guacamole?

Kristen Bell enjoys a dip made from edamame, an immature form of the soybean still in the pod.

She told Shape, “My friend, Chef Renée Loux, created a low-calorie substitute for guacamole that’s so satisfying,” she says. “It’s just edamame, olive oil, rice vinegar, and salt.”

This dip packs an impressive 10 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving. The recipe calls for frozen edamame, which is packaged by well known organic companies like Cascadian Farm or Woodstock Farms brands.

Jillian Michaels has whittled down her animal intake to sustainable fish, citing her reasons to the Houston Chronicle as being for animal welfare.

“Personally I’m not eating chicken or beef right now. It’s not about health; it’s about the slaughterhouse practices. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, organic yogurt and eggs and a lot of beans and nuts. But I also eat things like dark chocolate.”

Those who avoid red meat but still eat chicken may want to know that, according to the Humane Society of the United States, about 95% of land animals in the United States slaughtered for food are chickens, which undergo painful deaths to get to the plates of Americans.

Kate Nash loves Jamie Oliver‘s Ministry of Food and finds no problem in swapping Quorn faux meat for mince in the lasagna recipe.

“I chose Jamie’s lasagne as my favourite recipe because I love Italian food and this is a really easy recipe to adapt,” Nash told The Guardian. “In this recipe I swap mince for Quorn mince, use lactose-free cheese and spelt pasta and it still works.”
