A way to save calories!
I like dip with my veggies!. Most people do, but using light sour cream to make the dip isn't quite the same. I recently discovered that if you mix a ranch packet in with plain Greek yogurt you not only save in calories but it tastes almost exactly like full fat sour cream dip. Yay!
