If I were a little more aware of what sports things happen when, I probably would have posted this a few weeks ago. But really, a good dip is always good. And this one is good. Free from grain, gluten, dairy, soy, egg – so creamy, a touch of spice, and lots of flavor.

If you’re one of those people who track macros (full disclosure, I am), then this one’s pretty solid at only 234 calories per serving (6.5g carbs, 11.9g fat, 22.8g protein). Veggies as the dipping vessel and you can make it a full meal at less than 300 calories (which I’ve done a couple of days this week).

I love the jalapeño in this, and it’s really easy to adjust the spice level up and down by either cutting the ribs of the jalapeño out (that’s where the majority of the heat resides). Leave it in for a steady burn, or even opt for 2 Serrano peppers instead to really kick it into gear.
