Mamas, let's get personal for a minute...

I think any mama will back me up when I say that a body is never the same after having children.  I am not going to say things are better or worse, but they are just different.  Our hormones are on a different level all together and our bodies take time to adjust.  Since our bodies and hormones have changed, so must our health and beauty routines. After the birth of my first child, I did not notice many bodily changes.  After the birth of my second child, a lot changed.  I have had to adjust my health and beauty routine in the morning to accommodate for the changes my body has experienced.  Here are some tips I have for mamas experiencing similar postpartum issues as I am.

Chobani® Greek Yogurt Dip




I keep Chobani® in my refrigerator at almost all times.  It is a great alternative to sour cream in chilis as well as a great quick breakfast with cinnamon, honey and some chopped nuts or granola.  I also love to keep it on hand to make a quick dip for veggies or even fruit.

Chobani® approached me about sharing my tips and recipes for healthier after school snacks as well as tailgate snacks.  I am constantly trying to find healthier food options for Bubba, as well as for myself and my husband.  Bubba absolutely loves carrots, celery and/or spinach with ranch.  Most general ranch dressings contain lots of mayonnaise and calories.  The other tricky part of ranch dressing, for those with children, is that it has a tendency to drip and become messy quickly.

Enter my recipe for Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip w/ Dill using Chobani®.




| Ingredients |

2 x 5.3 Oz cups of Chobani® Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 Reduced Fat Sour Cream
1 Tbls of your favorite powdered Ranch packet
1/4 tsp Dried Dill
Black Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together well, cover and let sit in fridge for a couple hours for the flavors to really come out.




This ranch dip is a great kid friendly option, but still has enough flavor to be appreciated by adults at a tailgate.  The other thing that I love about this recipe is the dip stays thick thanks to the strained greek yogurt, which is great for messy kids!


Check out Chobani® Meze dips too!  These dips are already made and ready for healthy dipping and snacking!  I am particularly anxious to try the Chili Lime flavor!
