We\u2019ve been talking about the importance of eating those raw veggies to prevent age-related eye diseases like glaucoma.\u00a0 One way we do this at our house is to have a vegetable tray ready-made and ready for snacking. The veggie tray also appears at every lunch and dinner.\u00a0 You develop a taste for the foods you eat regularly, so chomp away and\u00a0 you will soon find yourself craving them.\u00a0 I love them with a bit of Himalayan pink salt — which is also good for maintaining regular eye pressure.<\/p>\n
If you, or your family, are not already veggie lovers, you may need some encouragement to get them down.\u00a0 Here is a healthy, low glycemic dip that adds some zip to those nutrient-rich foods.<\/p>\n
Ranch Dip Mix:<\/p>\n
2 Tbsp. dried parsley<\/p>\n
1 tsp. dried dill<\/p>\n
1 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n
1 tsp. onion powder<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp. dried basil<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp. pepper<\/p>\n
Mix those together and you are ready for the dip recipe:<\/p>\n
Ranch Veggie Dip<\/p>\n
1 Cup Cottage Cheese<\/p>\n
3-4 tsp. Ranch Dressing mix<\/p>\n
1\/4 C. water (or milk if you prefer) add more water if the consistency is too thick for your liking.<\/p>\n
Add ingredients to blender and blend until smooth<\/p>\n
This has around 50 calories per 1\/4 cup as opposed to 150 in two TBSP. of the \u00a0commercial variety.\u00a0 Cottage cheese has a glycemic index of 0 \u2014 so this looks all good.\u00a0 \u00a0 Dip your veggies and enjoy!<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
