This morning I took my 1 hour glucose test to determine if I have gestational diabetes. I don’t have any warning signs, so I’m not too worried about it. But let me tell you, the drink is pretty gross. And it gives you a massive headache, like hangover quality headache, but without the enjoyment of a glass or two few of wine.
Before the test I scarfed down a bowl of eggs + dijon mustard and then I drank a neon orange drink that matched my top.
After the test, and one hour wait, I wanted something healthy stat. Luckily I recently whipped up a batch of creamy cucumber ranch dip with Chobani and was able to enjoy it with some carrots, which coincidentally also match my top.
Ingredients
1/2 – 1 package Hidden Valley ranch dip mix
2 cups 2% Greek yogurt
1/3 English cucumber, or 1/2 a regular cucumber, peeled
3 garlic cloves
1 TBS lemon juice
Directions
In a blender or food processor, add cucumber, garlic, and lemon. Pulse until cucumber is pretty mashed up. If you like a thin dip (more of a dressing quality), add 1/2 packet of ranch dip mix and Greek yogurt. Pulse until combined. If you like a thicker dip, pour cucumber/garlic/lemon juice mixture into a bowl and stir in 1/2 packet of ranch dip mix and Greek yogurt. If you like a spicier/more ranchy flavored dip go ahead and add the whole packet.
You’re right- that test is oh so fun! …..I had to drink the stuff while driving- it made me feel pretty yucky, mainly because of the whole gag reflex thing.
That dip sounds AWESOME!
Oh wow, you had to drink it while driving? Why!? I was sooo loopy after drinking it, I was kind of afraid to drive an hour later!
Because I live far enough away from the doctor, I had to wait till I was 45 minutes outside of town to start drinking it and then sit at the doctor for 15 minutes. It wasn’t so great drinking and driving on that stuff!!!

Yum, yum, yum! We love a good dip, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Chobani
Thank you
Possible sub for Greek yogurt??
Hmmm, you could try a plain soy yogurt. I’ve never had soy yogurt, so I’m not sure how the consistency would hold up. It definitely wouldn’t be as thick, but the flavor would probably be similar. Tofu might work too.
