Peanut Butter Dip.

 

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?

  1. 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. :)

    1. I 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!"

    1. Well, 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. :)
