When it comes to snacking, I try to always go for healthier options. I can snack on dips anytime..whether it’s a salsa, a good guac, hummus, or my favorite…spinach dip. The cream base dips have a bad reputation because they are known for containing lots of fat and they aren’t the healthiest choice.
BUT wait–I turned this usual high calorie snack into a lite and nutrient-loaded dip that is good for you! This recipe also gives you the opportunity to get your daily veggies 🙂
Strive for foods that make your body happy because they will end up making you happy! Also… Remember, you are what you eat!
