Peanut Butter Dip

I forget a lot. Let me rephrase that, I get started down the rabbit hole of sweet tooth goodness, and forget there are healthy snacks that suffice my sweet tooth just fine. It’s been a down the rabbit hole kind of six months. Today I all I could think about was brownies drizzled with peanut butter. I’m home alone, and I could easily make a batch and eat it ALL up before anyone gets home. Yeah, I’m the kind of mom who says no, you don’t need more brownies, then hogs them down after everyone goes to sleep. #guilty

Over the last four years I’ve hosted countless clean eating accountability groups. Every time I host a group I recruit new recipes to help me eat healthier treats. Then every time the group is done, I move past them and get suckered back into the sugary treats I shouldn’t be eating. Today though, I’m skipping the brownie binge and going to one of the healthier treats I really enjoyed.

Anyone else team peanut butter? Or almond butter? Cashew butter? Really I’ll take any of them. BUT I know that eating a lot of peanut butter isn’t good because it’s a calorie packed food. It actually makes a great addition to foods on the trail for that reason. This recipe combines the yummy peanut flavor with creamy yogurt for a perfect fruit dip. Apples, and even oranges, were dipped today and I loved every mouthful of it. I hope you enjoy this too, with guilt to spare for another day.

Recipe Notes

To make a lower calorie version of this dip, try using PB2 instead of peanut butter. PB2 is a powdered peanut product made from real roasted peanuts, but the peanuts have been pressed to remove a lot of the oil and fat. Try mixing the powder with water in a separate cup to reconstitute it before adding it to your yogurt.
