A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT

This afternoon I made something a little different for the kids and I to share for our after-school snack. We all loved it! I found the recipe in the Biggest loser 30-day jump start book. Oh how I love all the Biggest loser books!!

PEANUTTY SPREAD
*Blending creamy peanut butter with silken tofu cuts the calories and fat by nearly two-thirds. It's the perfect high-protein snack, whether spread on a whole grain cracker or used as a dip for apple slices or raw vegetables. And one dollop makes a wickedly good topping for your favorite fat-free chocolate pudding.

  • 1 cup (about 9 ounces) silken tofu, drained (I suggest pressing it dry with paper towels as well)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 4 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp lime juice
Place the tofu, peanut butter, honey, and lime juice in a blender or food processor and blend or process until smooth. Add a few teaspoons of water if necessary. Store in the refrigerator. Makes 12 ( 2 tbsp) servings.

I would recommend chilling it first, I think its much better cold! We had this with apple slices, and it was really good! If you try it, please let me know what you think!

  1. I might try this. I wonder how it goes with celery or other vege sticks. I think I've found another healthy snack. Thanks. I've copied it into my recipe folder, for my yes only.
