6 Healthy appetizer Dips

It is the beginning of football here in the United States season and we really like our chips and salsa, as well as other dips watching football.


What can we do when the majority of these entries are loaded with calories? Even if you're not a football fan, or a chips and lay person hand eating, I am sure that can benefit from having more healthy snack options.


Therefore, I have compiled a list of my senior healthy dips, and a few ideas of appetizer recipe.

Dip spinach artichokes: It's a classic that all love. The average spinach artichoke dip is approximately 150 calories for 2 tablespoons. This can make the calories add rapidly because a typical serving is several tablespoons! Try this instead: make your own yogurt with free fat, fat sour cream free, reduced fat cream cheese and fat cheese instead of ingredients whole and mayonnaise. Sauce: This is the best choice in the sauces category because that is all the vegetables and seasonings. While sauce is your choice more low-calorie, go easy on the chips and try to bring some chips in the oven for your next meeting.
Another variation on traditional sauce is a thick sauce with corn, peppers, black beans, cilantro and lime juice. Bean Dips: You can get really creative with bean dips because each variety of bean has a different flavor. One of my favorites is a splash of white beans with basil, pine nuts, beans, garlic and a touch of olive oil. Or pick up a hummus in their local supermarket (or try to make their own).
In vegetables go well with bean dips, and this makes bean dips a healthier and more nutritious options.Guacamole: I believe that all healthy monounsaturated fats are consumed when you eat guacamole. However, remains important for the control of the portion this healthy heart dip as it can quickly become high in calories.Salmon dip: With any seafood dip would be better to your own may reduce use light ingredients as fat cream cheese. Try to add extra celery and green onion flavor and use less of the ingredients based on cream. Ranch Dip: This is another great vegetable dip. However, try to make your own with a fat free Greek yogurt and a lot of herbs and spices. This will save you at least 100 calories and 5 grams of fat per serving!

I hope that this has given you some ideas for his next football match or the meeting. What are some of your favorite dips healthy or snacks?
