Healthy Ranch Dip

It's been awhile since I last wrote. That is mostly due to a new eating plan we started that is protein heavy. So we cook a whole bunch on Saturday and Sunday so that we have pre-made healthy meals for the week. Everyday is pretty much the same, but hey it takes the stress out of writing a menu or figuring out what to have for supper every night. :) I came up with this recipe just now. I have to admit, I DO NOT enjoy eating greek yogurt. It is, however, a healthy way to make a dish creamy. And considering that just one cup of Greek yogurt yields 23 grams of protein, 340 mg of potassium, and 0 grams of fat, I think I can manage. Now that I have you unsure about whether or not to try this, here it is. The good thing about this is it does not have that sharp greek yogurt taste so it is pretty tasty.

NonFat Ranch Dip (with protein!)

1 dry ranch packet
Greek Yogurt
Fat Free Milk (This is just for consistentcy purposes)

Note: I did this as an experiment. I combined about 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt with about 1 tsp of dry ranch dressing and 1 tsp of milk. If you like a stronger ranch flavor, add more seasoning. If you like a thinner ranch dip, add more milk.
