What are some good bariatric veggie dips?

I would make ranch flavored one with extra protein and have it with carrot chips.

8oz Neufchatel cheese

~1/2 C of sour cream

~1/2 packet of ranch seasoning

2 scoops of unflavored protein powder

I would think hummas is also a good choice.

You can make all sorts of dips with plain greek yogurt. I make my ranch dip with it. But more often than not I just opt for hummus. Love that stuff.

Ahhh yes. Hummus is addicting haha! I also love mild guacamole....mmmm and we found superlow cal low sugar crab dip too! I am definitely going to try that greek yogurt/ranch dip idea! Thank you!

I just can’t get into hummus. I have tried so many different ones.

Any other dip ideas?

I love beetroot dip, white bean, spinach and carrot dip. But as I love to eat them with soft bread I’m currently giving them a miss. In time I might have them again.

I like the Opdipity Chipotle Ranch, and Trader Joe's Green Goddess (in the refrigerated section)

Oh now I will have to try to find those. They look good.

I use the hidden valley ranch dip mix with Greek yogurt (instead of the recommended sour cream) and it tastes just as good. I also eat hummus a lot.

I didn't even think of that! Thanks Ash!

In case you ever feel like doing the "from scratch" route, you can make your own mix:

• Quote

  • 1/3 cup dry buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup fage plain yogurt

I like doing this just so I know everything that is in the mix instead of monosodium glutamate, modified food starch, maltodextrin, guar gum, calcium stearate, natural flavor (soy). MSG, modified starch and maltodextrin, and guar gum are in high concentration than buttermilk in commercially available ranch packets.

Sounds good! I would for sure try it from scratch. Thanks for the tip
