My grandson, Nolan, loves to recite from the book, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and emphasize 'It's a beauuutiful day!' I often smile and say to myself, 'It's a beauuutiful day!' Serving this dip was fun for both me and Nolan."A NOTE from DR. GHOSHDips, especially healthy ones like this, along with plenty of fun dippers make great excuses for sharing. Surround yourself with family and friends to lift your spirits. Your mental health is as important as your physical health.NUTRITION FACTS: High in vitamins A and C low fiber¼ Cup: Calories 20 (Calories from Fat 0) Fat 0g (Saturated 0g) Cholesterol 0mg Sodium 170mg Potassium 180mg Carbohydrate 5g (Dietary Fiber 1g) Protein 1g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 24% Vitamin C 32% Calcium 2% Iron 2% Folic Acid 4% Magnesium 4% DIET EXCHANGES: 1Serving is freeHelpful For These Side Effects: (n)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
