Equipment

  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Serving Bowl

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 16 oz low-fat Greek yogurt 2 cups
  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese softened
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix 1 oz
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices turkey bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 4 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and finely diced (optional for heat)
  • 1 scoop unflavored protein powder about 25g
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and unflavored protein powder over the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until completely combined, adding the protein powder gradually to prevent clumping.
  • Add 3/4 of the crumbled turkey bacon, 3/4 of the shredded cheese, most of the green onions (save some for garnish), and all of the diced jalapeño if using. Fold these ingredients gently into the mixture.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the remaining bacon, cheese, green onions, and fresh dill. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For even more nutritional benefits, consider these modifications:
  • Lower Sodium Version: Create your own ranch seasoning using herbs and spices without added salt
  • Higher Fiber Option: Mix in 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
  • Reduced Fat Version: Use fat-free Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheese
  • Extra Veggie Boost: Fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers and grated carrots
  • Keto-Friendly Adaptation: Use full-fat dairy products and skip the protein powder
The dip keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Not suitable for freezing.
