For when you’re craving something sweet and savory, the cannoli dip truly hits the spot. My approach to nutrition involves having an occasional sweet treat made from whole food ingredients. This Cannoli Dip is a sweet treat with limited added sugar (13g of added sugar per serving), high-quality ingredients, and protein to offset a huge blood sugar spike.
It’s also so easy to make with household staples and truly is one of those recipes the whole family will enjoy!
The best way to address inflammation and blood sugar imbalances is getting consistent with strategic meal plans that take you from eating “healthy” to eating optimal. Join The Being Collective, my membership community for weekly anti-inflammatory meal plans, weekly recorded calls with myself and my functional medicine nutritionists, monthly Q&As with me, and an empowering community of women. One healthy meal or one workout isn’t going to move the needle but a proven system and long-term consistency will!
