  • 1 scoop unflavored or savory whey protein powder

  • Herbs & Seasoning

    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced
    • 1 clove garlic, grated
    • 1 tsp lemon zest
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • ½ tsp onion powder
    • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
    • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • How to Make Our Creamy High-Protein Herb Dip

    1. Blend the base. Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and protein powder to a blender or food processor. Blend until silky smooth and thick.
    2. Fold in flavor. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Stir in the parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice until evenly combined.
    3. Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix well and adjust lemon or herbs if needed.
    4. Chill before serving. Let the dip rest for at least 20 minutes in the fridge so the flavors can bloom and the texture can firm up.
    5. Serve and enjoy. Pair with cucumbers, bell peppers, celery, or keto crackers for a high-protein, low-carb snack that satisfies every craving.

  • Tips & FAQs

    Can I use only yogurt (no cottage cheese)?
    Yes, but cottage cheese adds thickness and extra protein. If skipping it, use a bit more protein powder.

    Can this be made dairy-free?
    Use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and a plant-based protein powder. Texture will be slightly looser.

  • What herbs work best?
    Parsley, dill, and chives are classic, but basil or cilantro work too.

    How do I make it richer for keto?
    Add 1–2 teaspoons of olive oil or a spoonful of cream cheese.

    Is this Weight Watchers friendly?
    Absolutely—use nonfat Greek yogurt and skip added oil for minimal points.
