When you’re craving something sweet try this healthy and easy greek yogurt apple dip for a simple snack. Greek yogurt is low calorie and high in protein.
Pat and I went for a little picnic in the country this past weekend. I’ll post more photos and recipes later, but my macbook – and photoshop – is in the shop this week (sad face). Part of the menu was greek yogurt apple dip. Greek yogurt makes this super healthy and the recipe couldn’t get any easier! I didn’t really measure, I just added a scoop of this, a squirt of this, a pinch of that. The recipe is pretty flexible and you could use almond butter instead of peanut butter, or brown sugar instead of honey.
On another note, I was overwhelmed by the response to my med school post yesterday. I had a unexpected amount of really nice emails from med students and people who are thinking about medical school. It was awesome to know that my tips were so well-received!
Oh, and one last thing. One of my favorite companies ever, Brooks, is having their end-of-season sale right now!

The other day my little sister tried doing a sweet dip for breakfast but she wasn’t too sure of what to mix in…. so it didn’t quite work out, it was a big bowl of chocolate chips, cocoa, cinnamon, icing sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar…. and yeah, it tasted weird. I suggested she tried it with apple, as that might help push it down the throat, but to no avail 🙂
I told her about this now, and she said, “yeah right!” Can it really be this easy? I think you.. and I’ll have to prove it to her tonight when I make her some 🙂 This dip is perfect, she also loves granny smith apples 😀
P.S. Was meant to elaborate, she tried making the dip from Greek yoghurt 🙂
Her recipe sounds very sweet – especially for breakfast. Hopefully she’ll like this because it’s tasty and healthier! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks, I’m sure she will 🙂
I have had some success with this particular product.
Lately I started Weight Watchers on the web and the limitations were tough to get accustomed to at first.
Before I eat it is often easier for me to get a grip on my hunger by taking this supplement.
Granted I am making modifications to my diet (less beer for sure!) So
I would recommend adding this as a & # 34; support & # 34;
to a weight reduction routine. I’ve lost 4 lbs in my own first week of WW with this particular supplement.
Thanks for the recipe! It taste really good with apple slices. This will definitely big my kid’s afternoon snack today. I had left over greek yogurt and didnt know what else to do with it; until now!
Hooray! So glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!
This is similar to a recipe Im looking for. I know the ingriedients are vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, apple butter, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I just don’t know the measurements besides 6 oz of yogurt. Please help! Thanks
Hi Briana – It doesn’t have to be exact and it will still taste good! Just use one single serving container of yogurt!
