But it is really healthy? When the main ingredients besides spinach are sour cream and mayonnaise, I'm guessing the answer is 'no' but hey -- you never know.
What do you think?
How many calories are in a serving of Spinach Dip?
1. 140 cal
2. 320 cal
3. 440 cal
4. 560 cal
The answer is 140 calories. But, and this is a big but, a serving is only 2 tablespoons. That's not a whole lot -- it works out to about three or four bites, and that doesn't take into account the bread or crackers you use to dip. And that 140 calories has 15 g of fat (3.5 of it saturated) to go along with that. You know how we always tell you check the labels? This is why -- serving sizes can be deceiving.
So next time you're going to a party, save yourself some extra time and make your own low-fat spinach dip -- and don't forget to pair it with some whole grain bread.
