Prep time: 10 mins | Chill time: 15 mins | Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 head Fresh Celery, washed and cut into 3-inch sticks
• 1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese or Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
• 4 oz Light Cream Cheese, softened

Instructions

1. Prepare the Celery:Trim the root end and tops off the celery stalks. Cut them into uniform 3-inch sticks and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel so the filling sticks well.
2. Make the Creamy Protein Filling:In a medium bowl or food processor, combine the softened light cream cheese, cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend or whip with a hand mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Mix in the Aromatics:Fold in the finely diced jalapeños and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Stuff the Sticks:Using a spoon or a piping bag, generously fill the hollow groove of each celery stick with the high-protein cream mixture.
5. Garnish & Chill:Arrange the stuffed celery sticks neatly in a baking dish or platter. Top with fresh dill or a light sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for maximum crunch!
