Shakin & Bakin Foodie Blog

I love snacking and I really enjoy snacks that I can dip into some delicious homemade dip. But...the majority of dips that we prepare are loaded with fat calories we don't need and even worst, loaded with unhealthy ingredients.

If you're looking for a more healthier alternative, I think you'll appreciate our guest-post recipe today from Recipe by Chef Anthony Stewart, Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa. The recipe will make eight 1/2 cup servings.

This dip is excellent with vegetable sticks, such as carrots, celery, and jicama, or with low-sodium, baked chips. And it's much kinder to your waistline than many store-bought creamy dips, which tally up a belt-busting 300-plus calories for a half-cup serving. The dip is just 45 calories, per serving.
