Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip, Average
Dippity Don't! Spinach... artichoke... mom'll be so proud that you're eating your vegetables. But not even Popeye himself, having gone without spinach for a year, would touch this. Ug-ug-ug-ug-ug! (FYI, that was Popeye laughter.) But don't go blaming the veggies in that dip. It's the pool of caloric ooze they're swimming in that's at fault, full of fatty ingredients like parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese. They should call it artery-choke dip! BTW, once you factor in the greasy chips the stuff comes served with, an appetizer-sized order can have anywhere from 905 calories, 36g fat, 74g carbs, and a POINTS® value of 20* (hello, Chili's!) to 1,439 calories, 80g fat, 110g carbs, and a POINTS® value of 35* (we're embarrassed for you, Mimi's Café!!!). But, we gotta admit, that stuff is sooooooo gooey 'n good. And SOME kooky person at the table usually orders it -- that's where things can go wrong. Next time you're faced with the temptation to stick your head in that bowl of restaurant silliness, just head on home to whip up our equally tasty alternative. You could have 10 baked tortilla chips with a full 1/3-cup serving of our dip for only about 168 calories, 2.75g fat, 26g carbs, and a POINTS® value of 3*. So go ahead and make it. Don't be Wimpy (get it?). Serving Size: 1/3 cup (typical portion) Calories: 220 Fat: 14.5g Sodium: 440mg Carbs: 14g Fiber: 1.5g Sugars: 1g Protein: 7.5g POINTS® value 5* Sugar Says 'Try some wicked sugar...
