Cookie Dough Yogurt

Leave a comment

This recipe was a hit with my family. Simple to make with ingredients you probably already have at home. I buy plain yogurt in a large container and then portion out, which saves some money. Be sure to check the ingredients on your peanut butter – all the added ingredients beyond peanuts and sea salt isn’t necessary for your body.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED

  • 1 cup plain Yogurt (*I use the Fage brand – plain greek yogurt)
  • 1-2 spoons of Peanut Butter (*I found organic peanut butter at Aldi’s with two ingredients – peanuts and sea salt.)
  • 1 TBSP Honey (*I prefer to use honey made local.)
  • 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 1 TBSP mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or 1 spoon of regular size Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Optional: a pinch of Sea Salt

WHAT TO DO

1. Portion out 1 cup of plain yogurt using the red container from the portion control color coded containers.Cookie Dough Yogurt

2. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the plain yogurt. Make sure ingredients are mixed well together.

3. Add chocolate chips and stir.

4. Enjoy!
