Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip – the Healthy Alternative
Love ranch? If you’re buying store-bought, bottled dressing and dip you likely already know how terrible it is for you. This 5-ingredient healthy ranch dip recipe tastes just like ranch AND is a much healthier option!
Those store-bought bottled dressings, dips and mixes are made with mostly unhealthy, processed ingredients that are inflammatory in your body. These inflammatory ingredients are high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, MSG and other processed additives.
This Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip is a much better option for snacking on fresh veggies. Made with just 5 ingredients and no toxic oils, this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip will have you never buying the bottled, store-bought stuff again!

How do I meal prep this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip?
Find a container that works for you. I like these Snack Attack Containers by Sistema. (pictured below).
These containers have large section for veggies and a smaller section for dip. The lid seals tightly with side clamps, making it nearly leak-proof.
This container is perfect for packing in a lunchbox. It’s also a great way to plan ahead when you know you’ll want and need a healthy snack.
