With Labor Day tomorrow…people across the country are preparing for the last official holiday of the summer. It’s safe to say a majority of people will be enjoying a BBQ on at least one day of the long weekend. There will be more than enough hot dogs and pasta salads to fill up on, but what if you’re looking for some lighter, healthier fare to fill up on?
The great folks over at Medifast sent over these two “healthier” recipes for the TwoClassyChics blog readers to enjoy.
Bean Dip Recipe
Prep time: 2 minutes Yield: 2 servings
2 packets Medifast Chili
2 packets Medifast Multi-Grain Crackers
½ cup water
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
Boil the water. Mix Medifast Chili and water in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute. Mix in spices and stir. Microwave on high for one minute more. With a hand mixer or blender, blend until smooth. Serve with Medifast crackers.
Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes Yield: 4 servings
4 packets Medifast Strawberry Shake
4 Tbsp egg white
2 tsp baking powder
¾ cup water
1 packet sugar-free strawberry gelatin (powder)
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry shake mixes, egg whites, baking powder, and water. Mix well. Pour mixture equally into four microwavable custard cups. Microwave on high until done, one to two minutes. Remove and let cool. Meanwhile, mix gelatin according to directions. With a fork, poke holes in each cake, and pour ½ cup gelatin over each cake. Refrigerate until set.

I’m not sure about these. They don’t look great. But I would try them.
This is looking good love to try this
The bean dip looks like it would make a good appetizer. So quick to make.
I love a good bean dip. I’ll have to try this one out!
The bean dip looks tasty! I love making new dips, sauces, and salsas.
Yum! I am looking forward to giving both of these recipes a try. I have never had a bean dip that looks like this one. Thank you for sharing these recipes.
That bean dip would be wonderful and the strawberry shortcake is worth trying – never have made that in the microwave.
What green things are in the bean dip? I’d add green onions but they aren’t listed in the recipe.
Boy that bean dip looks super good and one recipe that we must try thanks for sharing. I think the whole family would like that one.
That strawberry shortcake recipe is really interesting and different. My daughter loves strawberry shortcake. What a creative way to have it!
I most intrigued by the strawberry shortcake recipe which is microwaved, saving both time and heat. I haven’t yet used the microwave to make many desserts.
