A few weeks ago, Mommy Tiny Tummy came home with a delicious (but not so healthy) dip from Trader Joe's. She saw "yogurt," "kale" and "low fat," and automatically thought it was healthy, and while the ingredients weren't all that bad, I still knew I could make my own version healthier and with fewer ingredients (and less sodium!), so I set out to do so. The dip from Trader Joe's is their Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip (which is slightly deceiving because it is also made with some mayo!)
1 container Greek Yogurt (I used Oikos 0%)
1 LARGE handful of spinach
1 handful of kale
1 t chopped chives
1 t dill
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
2 t dehydrated onion flakes (actually my favorite part!)
1.5 t stevia
1 t lemon juice
(optional: a pinch of salt)
1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped (I used an orange one)
1/2 a can of water chestnuts, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
optional: some more chopped kale and spinach to add post-blending
To prepare, add the first 10 ingredients (and optional salt) into a Vitamix or food processor and process until smooth. Then, add the rest of the chopped veggies and mix, mix, mix. It's best if you let it sit for a few hours so all of the flavors mesh together, but it's delicious nonetheless!
