CRAZINESS. For the same amount of dip, my healthified recipe can save you 100 calories, 6g fat, and 16g sugar (thats 4 teaspoons of sugar in a single sitting).
Hmmm, I’ll choose my recipe thank you very much. Super easy, amazingly quick, incredibly rich and flavorful, and surprisingly healthy — now isn’t that something we all wanna hear?
I ate this dip with strawberries (and a spoon, of course!) but you can use other fruits like apple slices or pear slices… your finger is a viable option too 😉
Talk about a healthy, guilt-free dip!

With love and good eats,

Indulge − no strings attached!
I’d dip graham crackers and Biscoff cookies! It’d be like a one bite pumpkin pie!

I have a question. Why are these so high in sodium? Recipe #1 is higher and has no added salt, #2 is 10 mg less with added salt? Are you sure you’ve done nutrition correctly? 770 mg/ 23% sodium is really high for something that has no added salt.
Trekkmom-
The sodium comes from the cottage cheese, a naturally high-sodium food — like all other cheeses 🙂
That’s why I didn’t add any salt to the recipe!
