A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

High Protein Fried Pickle Dip
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (can sub sour cream and dairy free, as needed)
- 1 cup cream cheese (can sub dairy free)
- 1 cup pickles, diced (I use Bubbie's for no added sugar and probiotic benefit)
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp dill
- 1 tbsp chives
- salt & pepper, to taste
- crackers, crushed, to top (optional, I use Simple Mills)
Instructions
- For best results, use a food processor to blend the cottage cheese before hand which will make it super smooth.
- Mix together all ingredients and top with crushed crackers as well as additional diced pickles and and chopped fresh chives. Be sure to add the crackers right before serving so they don't get soggy.
- Serve with potato chips, crackers, pretzels or veggies! Would also be amazing as a sauce on a burger. Enjoy!
So simple and easy – Loved how this turned out! Made for a girls night recently and everyone was surprised at how addictive it was. Even used it as a fun ranch replacement with wings. I ended up using lite laughing cow wedges instead of cream cheese (since that is what I had on hand) and all dried herbs – still a win for me 🥒! Thanks for this easy idea!
So glad it was a hit! 🙂
