Solution: Real-Ingredient Dip/Salsa

Unprocessed, premade guacamole (or even just a mashed-up avocado) can serve as an excellent dip for carrots, celery, or almond chips. Add cumin to enhance the flavor. Cumin packs loads of iron and helps aid digestion.

Craving something a little different in the dip department? Add a cup or so of cashews to the food processor, then mix with canned, drained artichoke hearts and thawed out organic spinach from the frozen food aisle. Toss it in the oven to warm it through. Cashews are high in omega-6 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats. Spinach gives you a whopping amount of many nutrients, including vitamins A and K, folate, manganese, and magnesium.
