Aubergines turned out to be a great substitute for cashews or pumpkin seeds when you are making these dips. They still make you feel very full, but with very few calories, one medium-sized aubergine has only 110 calories! If you are interested in more details about aubergines (eggplant) read this thorough article by Healthline.

Notes
- Calories are approximate, it depends on how much you eat, and it does not include the totopos! I still think this is a great dip if you are cutting on calories!
- I recommend eating this immediately. You can keep it in the fridge for about a week, but it will turn a bit “gelatinous” so you may need to blend it again, or heat it at low strength in the microwave.
- This is very light in calories! aubergines give it the perfect texture!
- If you are looking for a seed based queso, try our recipe with pumpkin seeds.
