We seem to be busier than ever on weekends. And, while it’s easy to eat healthy at home during the week, sticking to a healthy diet while visiting friends and family can be difficult. You never know WHAT is going to be served!
I always offer to bring a healthy snack whenever possible. My favorite go-to dip is this Avocado Bean Dip. It’s packed with flavor AND it’s also good for you!
Hidden between the layers of beans and avocado is a delicious filling of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese! No better way to fit in one of those three servings of dairy you need every day. And I never leave with leftovers; this dip goes fast!
Serve it with pretzels or fresh veggies for a no-guilt snack!
