Today’s post is more of a healthy snack than a recipe. On my journey to loose weight I have replaced most of my snacks with healthy alternatives. Vegetables are at the top of my new menu! I eat alot of raw vegetables with low-fat dips, which I will share in a minute.

Raw veggies are packed full of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, they are very low in calories and fat. A perfect combination. You will also find they are high in dietary fiber and low in salt. This will help you feel full faster, thus you should consume less. The low sodium content will keep you from retaining excess water. The high vitamin content will increase your energy level. All of these factors together will work in your favor when it comes to losing weight. Ah, dieters Nirvana!

You can pretty much choose just about any vegetable and then chop it up!

Here are some of my favorites:
Cucumbers, bell peppers, celery, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, yellow squash,
zucchini & radishes

DIP INGREDIENTS 
1 Package of Ranch, Fiesta Ranch or the like (usually found in the salad dressing aisle)
1 16 oz carton of low-fat sour cream

Mix, following package instructions and enjoy!
