High protein spinach and caramelized onion dip

September 26, 2017 | byVanessa Perrone

 

 

The new January 

They say September is the new January, which may explain why back-to-school season brings with it a strong desire to get healthy, get in shape and generally, just get it together.

A common resolution we hear in the MN offices this time of year?  A willingness to healthify the lunchbox and more specifically, folks want to build a healthy snack repertoire to finally kick the afternoon sugar cravings and other office temptations.

Does this resonate with you?If so and you find yourself constantly racking your brain and the internet for tasty and healthy snack options, then today’s recipe will be right up your alley.

High protein spinach and caramelized onion dip

This spinach dip, made sans mayo, is Greek yogurt based making it packed with protein, which is what you want in a snack for sustenance and steady blood sugar levels. Another bonus? Instead of the powdered packet that you’d expect from this classic, this version gets its flavour from real deal caramelized onions that won’t disappoint.
