band friendly "gyro" plate....
Still experimenting with food and having fun! Today I made a "gyro" plate for lunch. It was really really yummy. Combined a little meatball, cucumber, and banded ranch dip in each bite. Sooo good. Definitely going to make this a regular!!

1 cup sliced peeled cucumbers
2 oz banded ranch dip
banded ranch dip:
This is crazy good! Someone on here mentioned that they mix ranch seasoning into greek yogurt to make a high protein ranch dip for veggies. So uh yeah... I was ALL over trying this out.
And let me tell you... it is near impossible to tell the difference! (Normally the packet calls to be mixed with sour cream.) No dainty dipping here... grab a glob and enjoy.
2oz of dip = 5g protein | 30 calories
Ingredients:
1 packet Kroger Party Dip Ranch
(I used Kroger since it is cheaper)
17oz tub Fage Total 0% greek yogurt
(I used 0% to save on calories)

That looks yummy...did you make the meatballs? If so, please share the recipe!
That does look like a lot of food for someone not yet a month out...I could eat about half that amount at that point or less. Careful not to overdo it...
Edited...oops, guess I should have read the whole thing, lol!! Love TJs too! Going to try the greek yogurt with ranch mix!
