Skinny Dippin’
If you love your rich and creamy dips but hate to err on the side of fat and cholesterol, this lemony yogurt dip is for you. It takes clean eating to another level in the sense that the flavours are heavy in taste but lean in caloric intake. We love serving it at parties because our guests always rave about its heat and depth of flavour. It also moonlights as a great marinade for veggies and chicken so be sure to make some extra and have fun creating some new recipes of your own!

- Greek yogurt is an amazing source of lean protein, making your dipping skinny during canapé time and snacking sessions.
- Greek yogurt is also packed with probiotics, giving this dip some serious gut cred. We all know that the key to good health begins in your gut. Probiotics help fortify gut health, thereby helping the body fight disease and bacteria.
