My Favorite Pickle Dip (Rich, Fiber-Packed & Protein-Boosted)
A creamy, craveable pickle dip built on real food—supporting the five pillars of metabolic health: fiber, protein, micronutrients, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory fats.
Base
• ¼ cup Zen Basil Seeds
• 1 cup water
Mix and set 5 minutes until gelled.
Creamy + Protein
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 pack goat cheese
• ½ cup cream cheese
Flavor
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried onion
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard
Mix well, taste, and adjust—I usually double the spices, increasing gradually.
Add-ins
• 1 package dill pickles, chopped
• 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
• 1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
• Green onions, chopped
• 3 cheese slices, diced
• 1 package bacon or protein of choice, cooked & chopped
Mix again and fine-tune seasoning or ketchup to balance flavors.
Serve
With your favorite anti-inflammatory chips.
Why it works:
High fiber from basil seeds, protein from dairy/protein add-ins, live probiotics from yogurt/goat cheese, plus key micronutrients—all in one crowd-pleasing dip. Perfect for game day, zero food coma.
