​Have you ever wondered how much ranch is too much?  The recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons; however, each brand varies in calories, fat, and sugar content.  The tables below compare some ranch favorites found at your local grocery store.  

How do different brands/labels rank?
            #1 Homemade (Recipe below)
            #2 OPA Greek Yogurt Ranch
            #3 Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Ranch
            #4 Hidden Valley Light Ranch
            #5 Hidden Valley Simply Ranch
            #6 Hidden Valley Original Ranch
            #7 Ken’s Steak House Ranch         
            #8 Marzetti Classic Ranch
 
 
The benefits of using non-fat Greek Yogurt with live cultures as your dressing base:
  • High protein to help promote fullness
  • Fewer carbohydrates and sugar
  • Live and active cultures help boost your immune system and promote digestive health
