    With all the ever-changing game seasons, be it football season or baseball season, having a tasty 7 layer dip recipe on hand is a must. Paired with some tortilla chips, this healthy layer dip is going to become a new favorite to snack on during the game season.

    Many layer dip recipes call for store-bought canned ingredients like refried beans or packages of pre-made guacamole and sour cream. These ingredients are delicious but not very health-conscious and often times filled with food additives.

    Instead, we swapped out some of the ingredients in favor of healthier, yet just as yummy ingredients for a leaner dip recipe. To make this 7 layer dip recipe, you’ll need ingredients like Greek yogurt, avocado, and black beans.

    The Greek yogurt is seasoned with spices to make it flavorful, while the avocado is mashed and dressed with lime juice and salt. All the ingredient swaps are healthier than the original 7 layer dip ingredients, yet just as satisfying.

    We recommend pairing this 7 layer dip with a bag of your favorite, whole grain tortilla chips and gluten-free beers for the complete experience!
