Dips and SpreadsWho doesn’t love a good dip or spread? They are perfect for just about every occasion – parties and picnics alike. Whether it’s spicy salsa for nachos or chunky hummus for pita chips, dips and spreads add a burst of flavor to any regular ingredient.
That’s why they are just so darn good for healthy snacking as well! “But don’t dips and spreads contain a lot of fat?” you may ask. Yes, many store-bought ones do. That’s largely because they include mayonnaise and grated cheese. However, simply by substituting these ingredients with healthy options (like nuts or veggies), you can make a wholesome dip or spread equally as tasty! Here is a collection of recipes for creamy, easy-to-make, healthy dips and spreads that do without the unhealthy ingredients, but not the big bold flavor!
Avocado has been one of my favorite childhood snacks. Something about its richness, smooth texture, and natural fattiness has always made it a guilty pleasure for me. What better way to celebrate the avocado, than alongside fresh tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, onion and lime in guacamole. Indulge yourself (healthfully) and don’t forget to pass around the dip! Garlicky Basil Mayonnaise Spread Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip I hope these flavorful dips and spreads help spice up your (once) bland snacking experience.
