Low Calorie Queso Cheese Dip
This Low Calorie Queso Cheese Dip is just 52 calories per serving (1/3 cup).I used sharp cheddar cheese to make this low calorie recipe, it means we won't need as much to get a super cheesy dip. Special Tip: You can thin out the dip more by adding almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. And you can thicken the dip more by simmering for an additional 5-8 minutes. Serve with my Low Calorie Chips, or Low Calorie Soft Pretzels.
