Goodbye Conventional Store Brand Dip...
& Hello Thinner Me!!
This is NOT some diet fad or anything, I just wanted to find a way to tell everyone of you, who may, like me, be trying to lose weight. Perhaps, like me, you are a dip fanatic, who really wants to dip potato chips, but you are 'being good' and eating your veggies. Unfortunately, the dips out there on the grocery store shelves are extremely fattening! You may as well just get the potato chips, and take it easy on the dip, when there are as many as 110 calories per Tablespoon in it!!!
When I came to terms with this evil reality, that my veggies only tasted good caked in thigh enlarger, I was crestfallen. I thought, why cant it be slimming to dip? Why, oh, why?? And then I got motivated. I remembered that yogurt actually promotes weight loss, and that it can be a substitute for sour cream. So I went in search of a lower calorie dip hoping to find yogurt as a main ingredient. Sadly, I found ingredients I could not pronounce (or remember for that matter). Then I thought, these dip makers are cruel! If it's not super fattening, its synthetic. Is that healthy? I think not. How tragically UNFAIR. And so the motivation overtook me, and I decided to make my own. I honestly expected to not like it. But WOW was I happily incorrect!!! I LOVE it!! And now, with no other changes to the daily efforts to battle the baby fat I have lost 5 lbs. Just by simply making my own dip. Imagine that. A healthy, yummy switch that's actually easier on my wallet too.
This is really all I have to say. No serious miracle, or gourmet masterpiece. Just an easy, inexpensive recipe, that helps keep your healthy choice healthy. So here it is. Enjoy :)
