“Skinny” Jeans Spinach Dip
I discovered this dip when I was making lasagna last week. I couldn’t quit licking the spoon as I was putting the lasagna together. Think of that when you come to my house for dinner! It’s an easy and yummy to make veggies less “veggie” tasting and it will help you stay in those “skinny” jeans. (BTW, I don’t like the word skinny but I like “skinny” jeans.) Store it in the fridge for a quick on-the-go-snack just make sure you take along some minty gum or make sure you don’t get too close to anyone. Or better yet feed it to your loved ones and they will not only get the health benefits of garlic but will smell like they been soaking in it too. 😉
“Skinny” Jeans Spinach Dip
2 cups of low-fat cottage cheese
2 cups of spinach
1/4 cup of goat cheese
1-4 Cloves of Garlic (Depending on your taste. I use 2.)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Raw Veggies (for dipping)
Put the cottage cheese, spinach, goat cheese, and garlic in a food processor or blender and blend until creamy. Serve with your “favorite” raw veggies. I really like it with red bell peppers.
Makes 4 servings. 144 calories, 6 grams of carbs, 13 grams of protein, 7 grams fat per serving (Without veggies…even I’m not obsessive enough to count raw veggies.)

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
Yum! What’s the lasagne recipe?
Hey Aimee, I’ll email it to you!
Sounds great – adding it to my recipe file!!!
Hi! I found you thru SparkPeople. I was wondering – do you use fresh spinach or is it pre-cooked spinach in this recipe? It looks great, and I’m in the process of replacing my daily afternoon fruit with veggies – so this seems like a great dip!
Thanks!
Hi Andrea! I use fresh spinach. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi! I just wanted to leave a review of the spinach dip! I made it last night (altered a bit and used fat-free cottage cheese, and a lower-fat/cal goat cheese I found at the store) – it turned out AWESOME. I used 2 garlic cloves (weighed 11g), and I think next time I may use a little less. But, it still tastes great, and I am very much looking forward to my afternoon veggie and dip snack! My boyfriend (who ‘hates’ anything fat-free) loved it, too! (Of course, he has no idea i used fat-free cottage cheese – he never notices when i do the switcharoo on him!).
Thank you!!!
Andrea – Thanks so much for letting me know how it turned out. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You are awsome!
I love your sense of humor! Thank you so much for great advice on everything, you inspire me! Keep up the good work!!!
I haven’t tried making this artichoke dip, but am definitely looking forward to making it!

I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my problem. You’re wonderful!
Thanks!
