Description

This creamy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt is a protein-rich treat that blends Greek yogurt with peanut butter for a deliciously satisfying snack or dessert. Customize it with your favorite toppings like nuts, granola, or fresh fruit for a nutritious boost any time of day!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Chopped nuts or granola for topping (optional)
  • Fresh fruit for serving (like banana slices or berries, optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable. Make sure your Greek yogurt is plain and unsweetened for the best flavor balance.
  2. Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. This will be the creamy base of our dish.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Next, scoop in 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. If you love a bit of crunch, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter instead. The choice is yours!
  4. Sweeten It Up: Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. This will add a lovely sweetness to balance the richness of the peanut butter. You can adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.
  5. Flavor It: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. This will enhance the overall flavor profile and make it even more delicious.
  6. Season (Optional): If you like, sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This is optional, but it can really elevate the flavors, especially if you’re using unsweetened peanut butter.
  7. Mix It Up: Using a whisk or a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. You want a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a little milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed) to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Check the Thickness: After mixing, check the thickness of your yogurt. If it’s too thick, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Mix Again: After adding milk, mix the yogurt again until it’s smooth. Taste it to see if you need to adjust the sweetness or add more peanut butter.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness and consistency to your liking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings and mix-ins!
