Healthy, because
Granular cream cheese or cottage cheese has a lot of protein and bone-strengthening calcium to offer - and only a few calories. Vegetables provide a colourful mix of vital substances as well as dietary fibres that promote digestion.
Even smarter
For a change you can also replace the cottage cheese with low-fat curd cheese - then the dip gets a completely different, creamier consistency. And when it comes to the healthy ingredients, low-fat quark can also keep up well.
