Tzatziki dip



Recommended Posts

Courtesy of Ina Garten....I think it needs a bit less salt and a little more lemon juice. Go with fresh dill and lemon juice for the brightness.

I've had it as a dip with veggies, pita chips, and as a sauce on chicken breast. I haven't plugged it in to MFP yet but with low fat sour cream and Fage 0%bits almost fat free and has a load of Protein.

Hope you like it as much as my son and I do!!!!

So, I did MFP, 1/6th of a recipe is 55 calories and 8 grams of Protein, 4 carbs, and <1 gram of fat. Not too shabby for what my brain considers junk food :). And I'd 1/2 the salt next time...

FYI I fixed the spelling in the title so it is easier to find in searches. Looks yummy!

Rather than putting olive oil on the pita bread, you can slice each pita bread into 6 or 8 triangles. Spray non stick cooking spray on each side and lightly sprinkle fine Kosher or sea salt on the triangles. Bake in a 250 degree oven until crispy. Lower calorie and easier than getting out the grill.

Yum, this would be tasty with veggie sticks, too.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
