This Valentine’s Day whip up these super easy dips – a match made in heaven when paired with our EMILY Veg Thins. Whether you are spending the day with a special someone or hosting a Galentine’s dinner party, these delicious dips are sure to impress! 

We got into the Valentine’s spirit by quizzing our Technical Huns on all things heart health. Believe it or not in the UK we only eat around 60% of the fibre that we should consume in a day. We should be eating 30g per day, but most people only eat around 18g. EMILY Veg Thins are both high in fibre and protein due to being packed with WHOLE beans and pulses. That means while sharing these with those close to your heart you can ensure you have a healthy heart!

You can thank us later - guilt-free snacking with BOLD taste. EMILY Veg Thins won’t be leaving you broken-hearted this Valentine’s Day!
