Any women’s health and fitness mag will tell you, the best pre- or post-workout snack features healthy carbs and protein. A favorite go-to is the apple-peanut butter combo, but your refueling snack need not be so simple or boring.
So sandwich it!
And make the spread a little fluffier and sweetener.
Ingredients
1 apple, sliced into large rounds
1 T all-natural, salt- and sugar-free nut butter
1 T organic vanilla yogurt
dash of cinnamon
toppings of your choice (granola, dried fruit, coconut shreds, etc.)
Directions
Simply lay out the apple rounds and spread with the nut butter spread, which is just ingredients 2-4 mixed into a smooth, fluffy spread. Top however you like!
I like my apples sliced so that you can see the star in the middle. “Did you know it was there?” Â That’s what my Grandma Betty would always ask when she’d slice my apples this way.
Perhaps that’s why I’m sort of partial to this recipe. It could also be the fact that the spread also makes a delicious dip for a group!
To make enough dip for a group, combine 1 cup peanut butter with 1 cup yogurt and 2 T cinnamon. Chill and serve with apples, pears, or banana slices.
