Peanut Butter Dip 6G Protein 110Kcal

High-protein recipes and protein snacks are excellent ways of recharging after a workout. I make a high-protein recipe almost every day for my muscle recovery. My favorite options are my Peanut Butter Donuts, Protein Mug Cake, or Overnight Oats with Protein Powder. But if you don’t feel like baking a batch of protein pancakes, try this peanut butter yogurt dip instead.

What’s Peanut Butter Dip?

It’s a peanut butter yogurt dip made from 3 simple ingredients, high-protein yogurt, peanut butter, and refined sugar-free sweetener. Plus this recipe is naturally:

Dairy-free – no need for cream cheese or dairy at all Low in saturated fat – using only half creamy peanut butter and powdered peanut butter to decrease fat but keep the protein and peanut butter flavor on top

It’s the perfect dip to snack on and for dipping pieces of apple or pear.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make this delicious dip are 6 basic ingredients.

Natural Peanut Butter with no added sugar, no added oil. Greek Yogurt you love – my favorite options are plant-based Greek-style yogurt high in protein like oat yogurt, soy yogurt, or coconut yogurt. Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener to add sweetness to the dip. You can use sugar-free liquid syrup or sugar-free granulated sweetener to make a low-carb dip. Vanilla Extract – Vanilla extract gives this snack even more flavors. Cinnamon – for a touch of spices, cinnamon is the best companion to apples. Powdered Peanut Butter or protein powder – This is optional but it thickens the dip, enhances the peanut butter flavor, and also boosts the protein content of the peanut butter yogurt dip.
