A protein-rich dip that's low in sugar and calories!
You know the feeling: Maybe boredom has set in at work. Or perhaps stress is affecting you at the end of the day. Sometimes, you’re just plain hungry! No matter what it is, there are times that the only thing that can satisfy your cravings is something sweet and creamy. Don’t give in to sugary, fattening snacks. Instead, whip up the easiest treat you’ll ever make: Our Skinny Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip.
This delicious, low-calorie dip has all of the sweet, nutty, peanut buttery goodness you’re craving. Plus, it has a dose of clean-eating Greek yogurt for scrumptious, creamy texture and a boost of protein. And unlike store-bought dips, our recipe has only two ingredients! There’s no added sugar, but you can increase the sweetness by dipping fruit into our Skinny Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip. It’s the perfect way to satisfy those afternoon cravings or post-dinner munchies without packing on the calories. Serve it to kids for a family friendly snack that is as healthy as it is tasty!
Why We Recommend Crunchy Peanut Butter
Okay, we know some of you out there are creamy peanut butter lovers. The reason we like to make our Skinny Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip with chunky peanut butter is because it creates a satisfying crunch. Often times, I find myself craving something crunchy just as much as something sweet! If you really dislike chunky peanut butter (or, you just never have it around the house), swap-in creamy peanut butter. You can also make your own to leave things chunky.
In fact, you can use your favorite type of nut butter for this recipe. Yes, that includes almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, or anything else you use on the regular. Here are some of the healthiest nut butter brands on the market.
Some of our followers have recommended using PB2, a powdered form of peanut butter where the oils are removed. Here’s a great clean-eating, organic brand of PB2 if you can’t find it at the local grocery store.

I cannot tolerate greek yogurt. Would a regular vanilla yogurt work with this? Thanks!
Yes, that will work fine. We use plain because it doesn’t have added sweetners.
Gale,
How many servings can you eat for a snack?
Lois
Lois, We recommend one serving size, in this case 2 tablespoons Dip. 🙂
I just ran this through recipe builder and it is actually 2 Smart Points for 2 Tablespoons.
Cynthia, I just rechecked the SmartPoints and again got 1 SP.
I also got 2 smart points.
1/2 cup Greek yohurt is 1 point
1/4 cup pb is 12 points
That’s 13 total points in 3/4 cup
12 tablespoons in 3/4 cup
So it’s roughly a point/tablespoon or 2 points for a 2 tablespoon serving.
Brooke, Just recalculated and you’re right, 2 smart points per serving. Thank you!:)
Just made this tonight as I’m having major cravings for some apple pie!
I saw this recipe last week and bought the stuff to make it.
I whipped up some tonight and ate it with an apple…perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth!
I used a little less peanut butter and added about 1-2 tsp of honey and some dark chocolate chips on top and dipped my apple slices in it…yummy!!
I gave up dairy and now on the alkaline diet. I will mix coconut yogurt with almond butter, lemon juice and add coconut flakes.
Sounds yummy.
Marina, YUM!
Hi: 2 points for 2 tablespoon which is the serving size, Would this new info change the nutrion information such calories?
Thank you.
Jessa, Yes, many of the points will change. It’s a major project since we have nearly 2K recipes. We’ll get started as soon as possible.
When you say “natural” peanut butter, are you asuuuming it contains no added sugars?
Correct. Natural meaning no added sugars. Clean eating natural peanut butter should be as simple as possible.
I’ve made this using the PB2 – Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Great on both strawberries and banana slices. (PB2 also good in almond milk/banana smoothie!)
Great tip Kelly! 🙂
How much PB2 to replace the natural peanut butter in this recipe?
Brenda, The ratio is approximately 1 T PB2 to 2 T Peanut Butter.
