Surprised at the secret ingredient? Don’t worry, you can’t taste the beets at all. I HATE the flavor of beets so I masked the flavor with Homemade Vanilla Paste, natural butter flavor, and stevia extract. At first I started with 2 teaspoons of each, gave the mixture a taste, and almost spit it out because I could detect the beets. I added an extra 2 teaspoons of the flavorings and the dip immediately turned into absolute perfection.
I’m shocked at how amazing the nutrition facts are too. Compared to the nutrition facts of a typical/unhealthy Red Velvet Cheesecake Dip recipe, my version has:
- 450 less calories
- 27g less fat
- 50g less carbs
- 33g less sugar
I think my eyes just popped out of my skull. For the same amount of dip my recipe will save you 450 calories!
And les be real. Who in the world can only eat a half cup serving of this deliciousness? WHO CAN RESIST?! If you have 2 servings (1 cup) — you’ll save 900 calories by choosing my healthy version over the competition. That’s crazy. My jaw is literally on the floor right now.
To make things even better, my recipe contains no refined sugar, no bleached flour, no deadly trans fats, and no artificial food dyes. Oh, and it contains a VEGETABLE. Yeah, so you can eat this healthy dip with happy thoughts. FOR BREAKFAST. 😀
Enjoy!
