Peanut Butter Yogurt-Dipped Grapes

Video by Jonathan Parrish

Looking for a snack that will tide you over until your next meal but not derail your health goals? These peanut butter yogurt-dipped grapes are a fun way to get a serving of fruit and a hit of protein, without racking up major calories! Whenever you need a cool pick-me-up, grab 10 of these bite-sized treats from the freezer. I recommend prepackaging them in small bags for convenience.

Peanut Butter Yogurt-Dipped Grapes

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. peanut butter
• 1 tsp. honey

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
2. Wash grapes, pull off the stems, and pat dry.
3. In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, honey, and Greek yogurt.
4. Drop grapes into the yogurt mixture a few at a time, and stir until they are evenly coated.
5. Transfer grapes, one at a time, to the lined baking sheet.
6. Repeat until all grapes are coated.
7. Place baking sheet in the freezer for one hour or until set.
8. Put frozen grapes into a freezer bag and keep frozen until you’re ready to eat them!
