Getting in enough fruits and veggies each day is quite a task, and getting to your daily intake goal of protein can be even more of a challenge. That’s why we love combining fruits with protein, like in this Peanut Butter Caramel Apple Protein Dip. In this dish, you can get a serving of fruit as well as 24 grams of protein all on the same plate!
The delicious blend of peanut butter, caramel, and yogurt not only satisfies your sweet tooth, but also supports your dietary goals. Crisp apple slices provide a refreshing and healthy bite, while the caramel dip enhances your intake with essential grams of muscle-building protein. Powdered peanut butter provides healthy fats as well as flavor, and a scoop of vanilla (or unflavored) protein powder packs a punch by adding even more grams of protein.
