Recently I posted a spinach Greek yogurt dip product on my Facebook page, but it's not available to everyone at their local grocery store. Below you will find my own DIY flavorful creation. It's super low-cal, high in protein and still gives you that creamy, savory taste.
While the average spinach dip will cost you approximately 160 calories for just two tablespoons, this recipe delivers a teensy 55 calories for the same serving! You just bypassed over 100 calories. How's that for big savings?
Guiltless Spinach Yogurt Dip

1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped
3 tablespoons pesto

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve with cucumbers, bell peppers, baby carrots, celery, and any other fresh veg. Bring this to your next summer barbecue, and watch it disappear in a flash!
