Incorporating vegetables into snacks and meals is sometimes easier said than done. More often than not, people like to mask the taste of raw vegetables by adding dips, toppings and other flavour-boosting components. While this is a great way to get the nutrient-packed foods into your diet, some dips and sauces bring a bunch of extra calories as well as added fat and sugar, making the veggie dish less healthy.
