Make dips even healthier!
We enriched creamy favorites with probiotic superfoods to make dunking away with crudités or chips extra slimming
Hummus Surprise
Miso lends this classic chickpeabased dip a rich umami flavor and a dose of metabolism-revving bacteria shown to help dieters shed 11 percent more belly fat. To make: In processor, pulse 1⁄4 cup of unsalted pine nuts into a fine powder. Add 1 can rinsed and drained chickpeas, 1⁄4 cup tahini, 1⁄4 cup white miso and 2 cloves chopped garlic; pulse until combined. With machine running, slowly drizzle in 1⁄2 cup ice water; blend until smooth and creamy.
Tangy Guacamole
For a tangy twist on this Tex-Mex staple, we add sauerkraut. This fermented veggie delivers a probiotic strain that can reduce bloat and abdominal pain by 42 percent. To make: In bowl, mix 1⁄4 cup chopped onions, 2 Tbs. sauerkraut brine and 1 tsp. fresh lime juice. Add 2 Tbs. sauerkraut, the flesh of 3 avocados and 1⁄2 cup diced tomatoes; mash with a fork to desired consistency.
Light & Luscious Ranch
Subbing in Greek yogurt for mayo in this creamy dip slashes 65 calories and 8 grams of fat per serving, plus provides beneficial bacteria that speeds slimming by 50 percent. To make: In bowl, mix 1 ranch seasoning packet, 2 cups Greek yogurt, 1 tsp. honey and 1 tsp. lemon juice.
