Sharing for anyone who hasn't come across this yet! I love ranch and this way I can still indulge without giving up too many calories.
Mix 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (I use Chobani, which is about 33 calories for 1/4 cup) with 1 tsp Hidden Valley Ranch dip or dressing mix (10 calories). Then cover and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
It makes enough dip to go with about 1 cup of fresh veggies for only 43 calories! Plus you get about 5 grams of protein in that quarter cup of yogurt. With the veggies it's a filling, healthy snack for less than 100 calories. You could also use a tablespoon of it on sandwiches or wraps for only 11 calories! Or even thin 2 tablespoons of it out with some skim milk and use as a dressing on salads.
I also tried mixing with the Dill mix packet instead of the Ranch and it was yummy as well.

This is a great one that I have been using too! I also substitute the yogurt in place of sour cream as well on Mexican food. Both have helped me on my journey big time!0
