Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip

Veggie dips are a great way to add and enjoy more vegetables in my diet. Carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, celery or whatever you choose can be extra delicious with a creamy and savory dip. Prepared dips at the grocery store are heavy on fat and calories though without much protein. A super easy and much healthier alternative is blended cottage cheese mixed with ranch dip mix. A 4 ounce serving of ranch cottage cheese dip has 13.9 grams less fat, 115.9 fewer calories, and 8.2 grams more protein than a similar style prepared dip. It also costs $0.213 less per serving. It doesn’t seem like much, but 6 servings per week for a family of 4 saves $5.12. The money saved making this recipe alone offsets the monthly subscription cost for How I Eat Healthy!
