Best. Snack. Ever.

Ok, we all know that eating healthy can not always be the most enjoyable thing. Usually, good for you doesn't usually equate to tasty. (I'll never forget being a kid, watching the cartoon "Muppet Babies", and Baby Rowlf saying something along the lines of, "Why is it that when food looks ugly and tastes like dirt, grown-ups say it's good for you!?" hahaha)

Well, I have something you're going to like. It's not a complete solution, but man, you're going to like it.

A good diet will be high in protein, with low to moderate amounts of carbs and healthy fats. A good source of protein is non-fat cottage cheese. One serving has roughly 13 grams of protein, only 4 grams of carbs, and no fat. The problem is that a lot of people don't like cottage cheese - they just don't like the taste.

Well, this will change everything.

Go out and get a large container of non-fat cottage cheese. Add in a package of Fiesta Ranch salad dressing mix (the powder). Mix well.

Voila! You've got one of the best snacks you're ever gonna find. Personally, I can it just like that with a spoon, no problem. But you can use it all kinds of ways - toss some on some lettuce or spinach for a good salad (add a can of water-packed tuna, and you've got a GREAT high protein, low-calorie meal that will fill you up and get plenty of roughage into your system). Spread some on organic bread for a good sandwich. Or use it as a dip for veggies or (as long as you can restrain yourself) your favorite baked snack cracker.

And the whole thing won't cost you but a couple bucks.

Go to the store and get some now. You won't be sorry.
