Take it away Mama’s Girls…

当我们第一次见到蒂芙尼,和学习Feel Great in 8this year, we knew we were in the midst of greatness. We met at a blog conference, and were wandering around City Creek together, when we ran into another group of bloggers. One of them realized who she was, screamed and wanted a picture with her. We had already “adopted” her as an honorary sister at this point, but realizing how famous she was sure didn’t hinder our growing admiration for her We recently decided to team up for a post and couldn’t be more excited to work with one of our favorite girls!

In line with Tiffany’s amazing program, we love making delicious, healthy food for our families, especially for our kids. Have you ever noticed that kids LOVE to dip. They eat things they wouldn’t typically eat if they can dip them in something. So, what if I told you we had a high protein, lower calorie, sweet fruit dip that kids gobble up? Well, stock up on fruit moms, because this is a recipe is one the whole family will love. We thought this was something thatFeel Great in 8readers might enjoy. Give it a try and tell us what you think!

Peanut Butter & Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip

Print

Ingredients

• 1 6 oz. container of Greek Yogurt (plain, honey, or vanilla is best)
• 1-2 Tablespoons of natural Peanut Butter, plain or crunchy
• If you want to add a little more flavor: add honey, vanilla, or cinnamon.

Instructions

1. Mix together and you have a fabulous, high protein snack!
2. To make a lower calorie version of this delicious apple dip, you can use your favorite fat-free vanilla (or greek) yogurt and PB2. If you have never heard of PB2, it 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. The powder is simply reconstituted with water. It has a definite peanut butter flavor and can be used in place of peanut butter for sandwiches, blended into a smoothie, as a spread for crackers or celery... whatever you like! The savings on calories is substantial. Two tablespoons of regular peanut butter has 180 calories and 16 g fat. Two tablespoons of PB2powder contains just 45 calories and 1.5 g fat.
3. To make the lower calorie apple dip, reconstitute 2 tablespoons of PB2 with 1 tablespoon of water in a small dish. Stir until smooth. Stir the creamy PB2 into ½ cup fat-free vanilla (or greek) yogurt. That’s it!
