Apples with Creamy Peanut Butter Dip
Apple slices with peanut butter makes a great snack. But because peanut butter derives most of its calories from fat, it can be a little energy dense.
Lighten it up by blending silken tofu with peanut butter. Tofu makes the dip really creamy and boosts the protein content.
Silken tofu can be found packed in water in plastic containers in the refrigerated produce section or in shelf stable cartons. Be sure to use “silken” tofu for this recipe rather than “firm” or “extra firm.”
In a blender, combine silken tofu with a few tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and something to sweeten it. I like a few tablespoons of strawberry preserves but a little brown sugar would also work well.
