Healthy is so in right now at my house!
I am knee-deep in a really fun and well thought out 8 week health challenge and I am loving it! It isn’t uncommon for me to be super healthy for a full two weeks at a time (no sugar, no white flour… that really does cut out a ton of foods!), but 8 weeks is a lot lot longer! So I’ve had to plan, prepare, and add a few new tricks to my plan. And you know what, it’s working. I’m a week in and I’ve lost 4 pounds. It’s all baby weight, so it needs to come off and is a bit easier to shed in my mind, but I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t super exited. The weight loss was just what I needed to keep on track for week two. Working out, eating awesome, and counting calories is working it’s magic.
This healthy fruit dip is the current love of my snack time. When you don’t eat refined sugar your palate really changes and things that are simply naturally sweet becomes so much sweeter than before. This dip with a big old Golden Delicious apple is practically dessert. I love it! Plus the Greek yogurt in it helps to keep me full with all that yummy protein and fat. This dip is a keeper! My kids are liking it with apples and pretzel sticks too.
So grab a tub of yogurt, some honey, and some peanut butter, and you are good to go. I make a big batch of this on Monday, along with my salads in a jar, and that takes some of the prep and effort out of eating well. A little forethought goes a long way.
Eating clean or not, this dip is delicious. Enjoy!

Can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
I make a similar dip…but mine has equal parts yogurt and peanut butter….with a healthy dash of cinnamon and a little brown sugar. It is so good!
Just wanted to let you know that I love this & I’m taking it to a Relief Society activity tonight! Yum yum!! And I keep meaning to tell you…but your pictures are AMAZING!!!! You are so talented!!
I love getting feed back!! I’m so glad you like it Holly, I’m totally addicted 🙂
I make something similar to this. Try adding some canned pumpkin for an increased nutritional benefit.
That sounds delicious!
I love dipping fruit. I’m excited to try this and love how quick and easy it is!
I make this for my dogs and freeze it up for them! One day I tried it and loved it so much I make a double batch now! One for us and the other for the dogs!
Have you tried this with fresh peanut butter? I grind mine at Whole Foods.
Yes! It works great. Sometimes I use a bit more honey and a dash of salt and the texture might be a hair grainy depending on your grind, but I still like it.
How long does this last in the fridge?
I’d think at least 3 or 4 days… I’m not positive though.
