Why this Recipe is Blood Sugar-Friendly

This dip combines protein, fat, and fiber, which helps slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes. Using whole-milk Greek yogurt and peanut butter adds fat and protein to help keep your appetite at bay between meals. Pair it with apple slices for an extra boost of fiber and natural sweetness.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter and Yogurt Dip

Peanut Butter provides healthy fats and a small amount of protein, which helps slow carbohydrate absorption when eaten with fruit. Choosing a natural version avoids added sugars and hydrogenated oils. A natural version will only have peanuts and maybe salt, unless you want a salt-free version. You'll find the ingredients listed on the food label.
Greek Yogurt is higher in protein and fat than regular yogurt, which supports fullness and blood sugar stability. We love the creaminess and richness of the Fage brand, but feel free to use another brand, or a low-fat Greek yogurt.
Cinnamon is optional, but we love that just a dash adds sweetness and flavor without added sugars.

Common Questions

How should I store the peanut butter and yogurt dip?

Store in an airtight container for up to five days.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

We don't recommend it. Using regular yogurt will create a more runny consistency, and you will not get the benefit of the higher protein content that Greek yogurt provides.

Why should I use natural peanut butter?

Many brands of commercial peanut butter contain added sugars and hydrogenated oils that can negatively impact blood sugar balance and metabolic health. With natural peanut butter, the oil rises to the top, so you'll need mix it. You can store it in the refrigerator if you'd like it to stay mixed.
