This post might as well be titled “Pinterest Strikes Again”. I saw this & it was just too good to resist. It makes a great high-protein, low-cal spread for apples, toast, biscuits, crackers… but mainly apples, because they’re lower-calorie. Ya dig?

Anything with peanut butter is good for me. I'd eat it out of an old shoe if required, but this dip would be a much better way to enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, right? And that's the wonderful thing about PB--it has such a big flavor that you can only use a little (in comparison to the amount of yogurt) and it still tastes like it's mostly peanut butter. I gave one of my coworkers a slice of apple with the dip on it & her eyes got huge & she said, "it's like I'm eating icing on a cupcake!"
Deletehow long is it good for? oh, and yums yums yums. me likey the PB.
ReplyDeleteWell, I mixed up a batch with the proportions in the recipe & used it all week--then I polished it off, so I can safely say--at least a week. :)
