I like to snack on raw veggies (carrots and broccoli mostly although I might expand today and buy a pepper lol)

I buy this ranch dip but that's not very healthy. Lots of sodium and weird ingredients that I can't pronounce. Just wondering what you all dip your raw veggies in? Or do any of you have an idea for something healthy? I don't really care about low/high calorie. Just something healthy.

Thank you!!

    I take a little container of plain chobani yogurt, and a packet of hidden valley ranch dry mix....I put maybe two tbsp of the mix into the chobani, mix it up, and VOILA! You have a healthy dip that you can truly indulge in...PLUS, it's non-fat and super high in protein! It's delish!

    Hummus. It is a dip made out of chick peas and spices.

    That but I didn't think to add additional spices (lots of possibilities: cajun, spicy seasoning, garlic, etc...) Looking forward to my next chobani dip snack.

    Try making hummus.

    Garbonzo beans and basil leaves in a food processor. Use a little lemon juice and garbonzo juice to thin it with a little olive oil. Play with it and and the flavors you like. It is low in calories and sodium, (I buy the organic ones from vons) , no preservatives and good for you.

    Walden farms makes calorie free dressing and sauces. I use their "ranch" dressing to dip raw veggies in. It should be available at most grocery stores. I buy mine from HEB.
