Skinny Dipping All Summer Long!

Let’s Go Skinny Dipping—The Guilt-Free Way

Yes, you read that right—we’re encouraging you to go skinny dipping all summer long. But don’t panic—this isn’t the kind that’ll land you on the front page of the local paper. Our kind of skinny dipping is delicious, low-calorie, and perfectly legal.

We're talking about dips—those creamy, savory, snackable creations that make chips, carrots, celery, and crackers oh-so-satisfying. Dips are the life of any party, but they tend to come with a not-so-fun side effect: extra calories. Fortunately, we’ve got a healthier way to indulge.

Here’s how to keep your dipping game strong (and skinny!) all summer long.

1. Light and Creamy Bases with Big Flavor

Start your dips with fat-free sour cream for a low-calorie base. If you prefer a little more richness, go with low-fat or reduced-fat versions. And if calories aren’t a concern—lucky you!—full-fat sour cream works beautifully, too.

From there, stir in your favorite Mother Earth Products dried add-ins like jalapeños, granulated garlic, dried onions, or chives for bold, crave-worthy flavor. You can also add a pinch of taco seasoning for a nacho-style dip—just taste before salting since most spice blends already include salt.

Short on time? Our Three Onion Soup/Dip Mix makes it easy to whip up flavor-packed dips in minutes. Just mix with your preferred sour cream base, chill, and serve with veggie sticks, crackers, or chips.

2. Refried Bean Dip—Simple and Satisfying

Looking for a hearty dip that fills you up without weighing you down? Try our Refried Bean Mix. It’s easy to prepare and endlessly customizable.

Once rehydrated, stir in your choice of sour cream, along with Mother Earth Products jalapeños, onions, garlic, and chives. Add a dash of taco seasoning or cumin to bring out those bold, south-of-the-border flavors.

Flavor tip: Try mixing in a small amount of your favorite ketchup to a small bowl of the bean dip. It might sound unusual, but it adds a tangy depth that could become your secret ingredient. Just give it a taste test before scaling up!

3. Salsa Time—Classic and Creative Combos

Salsa isn’t just a dance—it’s the star of every summer spread. Whether you're throwing a picnic, a backyard barbecue, or just need a quick snack, salsa delivers.

Start with ripe tomatoes as your base. Then mix in diced red onion, Mother Earth Products jalapeños and chives, a splash of lime juice, and seasonings like cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simple and absolutely delicious.

Pro Tip: Make a big batch and split it in two. Keep one half classic and add chopped fresh peach to the other for a sweet-spicy peach salsa variation. If your original salsa ends up a little too spicy, adding peaches to the whole batch will mellow out the heat without sacrificing flavor. Everyone will just think you made peach salsa on purpose—and they’ll love it.

No matter which version of "skinny dipping" you choose this summer, you’ll be doing your body (and taste buds) a favor. Delicious, light, and totally customizable—these dips are made for every occasion, from quiet nights in to sunny afternoon gatherings.
