I love dips and you can find some that aren't that bad in calories, but what can you dip aside from chips and the usual veggies that allows you to indulge a bit?

    Oh man, I'm so excited!! I was just at Costco today and bought a box of Special K Chips. I can't vouch for the taste as I haven't opened them yet, but you can have 30 chips for 110 calories.

    I would actually recommend the Tostitos bite-size round chips. They're a good portion, 24 of them for only 140 calories!!

    You can take a pita pocket and slice it in half (split the pocket) then cut into 8 triangles..spray with pam and top with spices (I like to make them with either oregano or cinnamon) and bake until crisps (I bake on 350 about 8-10 minutes). They turn out to be like tortilla chips...

    Great idea, thanks! Pita has become my new addiction with hummus!

    I love rice crackers - they are thin and have a great crunch. I also was getting these amazing brown rice chips from Costco that were 35 chips for 110 calories. They were SO GOOD, but they aren't carrying them anymore and have not found them anywhere!!

    OK, so this was a given in your question, but veggies are a WONDERFUL chip replacement. I have recently replaced things like crackers and chips with cucumber or zucchini slices. You still get that crunch, but they are much healthier. They add a great flavor blast to what ever you are dipping them into.

    Ahh special k cracker chips are uber yummy especially the sour cream and onion ones :) You get to enjoy a good portion of them without feeling guilty about eating them afterwards. They taste just like regular potato chips and sometimes it's hard to believe they're healthy.

    Happy Snacking!

    If you like corn tortilla chips, I cut them into triangles and Broil them in the oven till they are crispy flipping them as soon as they start to curl and take them out once they start to brown, cool and DIP! :happy:
