The Diet Files: Apple Dip


Ok, here’s the deal. I grew up on an orchard, so I’m somewhat of an apple snob.

It’s not that I don’t LIKE store-bought apples, it’s just that they are kind of ‘meh’ for me. Unless the apple comes fresh from the stand, I generally don’t eat it whole. I slice it up and dip it! Yum! Peanut Butter, Nutella, and honey (or any combo of the three) are my favorite selections….but since none of them are diet-friendly, I had to get creative.

Sooooooo, I brought out the Oikos Greek Yogurt. By itself, yuck. Used for baking (including the pancakes I made this weekend)…not so bad. Enter splenda. Zero calorie sweetener – yes!!!! And cocoa. If I can’t have peanut butter, then I had better be able to have chocolate, right? So here it is:

Diet Apple Dip
¼ cup Greek Yogurt
1 packet of Splenda (or other non-calorie sweetner)
Sprinkle of cocoa powder

Verdict: not awesome, but not gross. Will I make it again? Maybe. Would I rather have Nutella? HELL YES! Whoever said ‘nothing tastes better than skinny’ has clearly never tried Nutella.
