How to Make Our Creamy High-Protein Herb Dip
- Blend the base. Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and protein powder to a blender or food processor. Blend until silky smooth and thick.
- 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.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix well and adjust lemon or herbs if needed.
- 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.
- 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.
