It never stops at one with dips. Put a bowl of guacamole in front of someone and it’s guaranteed to be squeaky clean when you come back. But this is what makes dips so bad. Most dips aren’t that healthy to begin with either. Here are some dip recipes that are healthy and full of protein so you can eat guilt free.
High-Protein Spinach And Mushroom Dip

Chips and dip are the most classic party food. Don’t throw away your clean diet by dipping Doritos into microwaved Velveeta cheese and salsa. Instead, try this protein-filled dip with some brown rice crackers.
Ingredients:
2% cottage cheese – 1 cup (not packed)
egg whites – ¼ cup
garlic, minced – 1 tbsp
mushrooms, sliced – 1 cup
Directions:
1. In a large pre-sprayed pan, saute the mushrooms and spinach over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
2. Blend cottage cheese, egg whites, and garlic until smooth.
3. Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to a large bowl and stir in the spinach and egg beaters.
4. Microwave for approximately 1 minute or until warm throughout.
5. Enjoy with rice crackers!
Creamy Tuna Dip

Another one of Detric Smith’s favorite protein snacks offers a twist to your typical tuna salad, and it’s a whole lot more appealing than eating forkfuls of tuna straight out of a can.
Ingredients:
tuna, canned in water – 3 oz
fat-free cream cheese – 3 tbsp
green onion, chopped – 1
onion flakes – 1 tsp
garlic powder – ½ tsp
Directions:
1. Mix all of the ingredients together—except for the crackers. Really work to break up the tuna into smaller pieces so the dip is smoother and easier to spread. Chill in the refrigerator.
2. When you’re ready to eat, use it as a dip or spread on your crackers.
Spicy Mexican Dip

If you want to add a little heat to your dish, this dip will do the trick.

Only a few ingredients makes it fast and easy to whip up and keep on hand at all times.
Ingredients:
salsa – 1 cup
fat-free cream cheese – 8 tbsp
nonfat plain Greek yogurt – ½ cup
shrimp, precooked and diced – 2 oz
Directions:
1. Combine the salsa, Greek yogurt, and cream cheese.
2. Once well mixed, stir in shrimp and green onions.
