Have you ever been in a situation where you are short of hitting your protein goal, but you would rather drink or eat anything than down your third protein shake of the day? Well what if we told you, you can add in about an extra 20 grams of protein while enjoying Tostitos and nacho dip? Ahhh, now we’ve got your attention 😉
Satisfy that savory craving with this easy-to-make dip that won’t set you back from hitting those goals! This dip is so good that you won’t be able to tell it’s a healthy option. This recipe is vegetarian but if you want to add in more protein feel free to add in your meat of choice to make it a meal. If you try this out for yourself I can almost guarantee you it will make its way into your weekly snack rotation!
INGREDIENTS
- 100 grams of 0% fat greek yogurt
- 5-10 drops of hot sauce
- 2 shakes of ranch flavour seasoning
- 1 cup of shredded iceberg lettuce
- 30 grams of low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 serving of low sodium Tostitos
DIRECTIONS
- Grab a food scale and weigh out one serving of 0% fat greek yogurt into a bowl.
- Dab in as much hot sauce (of your choice) as you’d like! For a mild-medium flavour we recommend 5-10 dabs.
- Shake in some ranch flavouring. We recommend the RANCH seasoning made by Flavor God. You could even experiment and try out a bunch of their flavours!
- Stir the yogurt until it is all blended.
- Chop up about a cup of iceberg lettuce and toss it into the mixed dip.
- Scoop out 3 tbsp of salsa. We used mild but feel free to go as hot as you’d like!
- If you are adding in meat, be sure to cook and add in before putting the cheese on top. That way it will melt nicely.
- Shred 30 grams of low-fat cheddar cheese and put it on top.
- Pour out around 40 chips into a separate bowl and go to town! This dip is so tasty and easy to make. It is also a perfect portion for someone watching their calorie intake.

Tip #1: Feel free to add in any meat of choice to add in some more protein!
