Who says eating healthy has to be a death sentence? There are so many ways to enjoy chips and dip and still keep that waistline in tact. For a cheesy dip like this one, small adjustments go a long way. Whenever I want to lighten-up cheese and other dairy ingredients I go for reduced-fat options. I also substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt. This not only lowers the calorie and fat count, it boosts the protein. Greek yogurt is great for cooking. It also makes a great substitute for buttermilk and whipping cream.

Avery says
Why would you use reduced fat cream cheese & non-fat yogurt?
staysnatched says
Because it's my preference. Use what works best for you.
Janet says
Have you tried this with smoked chicken added? Im thinking that might be good. Maybe in a wonton cup as an appetizer.
staysnatched says
I haven't tried that, but it sounds amazing!
Kristal De La Paz says
We received garden fresh jalapeño peppers from our neighbor today so of course I find another amazing recipe on Stay Snatched from Brandi! The dip has the right amount of heat and lots of flavor. I left the seeds out of the peppers and shredded the cheese instead of using the shredded kind. I will definitely be making another batch this weekend!
staysnatched says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.
Meghann says
Perfect for football game days! tastes great and easy to make.
staysnatched says
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Teri says
This was an excellent way to use up all most of my jalapeños I grew this season. Subbed reg bacon for maple , smoked Gouda for the cheddar. The outcome a nice sweet, salty spicy combination.
staysnatched says
Sounds so good.
