We are always looking for new ways to up our protein intake and this healthy peanut butter dip is packed with protein, calcium, and healthy fats.

Both Greek yogurt and peanut butter are excellent sources of protein, making this dip a great option for a post-workout snack. Greek yogurt is high in calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth. It contains probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health.

Peanut butter provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. So if you are looking for a dip with lots of nutritional benefits, then this peanut butter Greek yogurt dip is it!

The best thing about it is, it takes just minutes to whip up and kids love it. It's an easy way to get them to eat more fruit too.

Extra Tips

  • for easier mixing. You can heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften it too - just make sure it doesn't get hot otherwise it won't mix well with the yogurt.

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer. However, Greek yogurt is recommended for its thick and creamy texture.

Is there a non-dairy option?

Absolutely! Use a non-dairy yogurt made from almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk, and ensure your peanut butter is also dairy-free.

Can I make this peanut butter dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can make it a day in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and stir well before serving.

Why is my dip too thick/thin?

To make the dip thicker, add more Greek yogurt. To make it thinner, add a small amount of milk or water until you reach the desired consistency.

Can I use peanut butter powder instead?

Yes, you can use peanut butter powder and it will make this lower in calories. It won't be as creamy though.
