This easy buffalo cheese dip recipe is the perfect healthy, low carb snack or party dip. It only contains three ingredients and can be whipped up in just a few minutes. Because we use whipped cottage cheese as the base to this recipe, it’s also low in calories and carbs and high in protein.
Why This Buffalo Dip Recipe Is The Best
Because this buffalo dip recipe is so easy to whip up, it’s perfect for both parties or as a healthy, low carb snack option for the week. You can meal prep it at the beginning of the week for a quick grab-and-go snack option.
It can be served hot or cold. And, it pairs well with fresh vegetables, crackers, chips, etc. Instead of using cream cheese as the base, I use whipped cottage cheese instead to keep it low in calories and carbs and high in protein. And, you can even add shredded chicken to it to sneak in even more protein.
Buffalo Cheese Dip Ingredients
- Whipped Cottage Cheese – Using whipped cottage cheese as the base of this buffalo dip instead of cream cheese keeps this dip lower in calories, carbs, and higher in protein.
- Buffalo Sauce – Any buffalo sauce will work, but my favorite is the Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce because it has clean ingredients and it’s delicious!
- Avocado Mayonnaise – This ensures that the dip is super creamy. You can use homemade avocado mayo or your favorite brand.
- Hot Sauce (optional) – For most, the buffalo sauce alone is enough spice. But, if you love extra spicy dips, you’ll definitely want to add a bit of hot sauce.
- Shredded Chicken (optional) – To up the protein even more, feel free to add shredded chicken.
