don’t get me wrong — a classic jalapeño popper is fantastic. BUT sometimes the bacon isn’t crispy enough… or you just want a scoopable, dunkable, crowd-pleasing dip situation. 🧀🔥 enter: jalapeño popper protein dip. all the creamy, cheesy, spicy goodness you love, just deconstructed into a warm, bubbly dip — & of course, I had to level it up with blended cottage cheese for extra protein. studded with jalapeños, crispy bacon, melty pepper jack, & finished with a crunchy fit joy cheddar pretzel topping for that perfect popper bite in every scoop. serve it with chips, pretzels, veggies… or honestly just a spoon! 🥓🌶️✨
