Our friend Julina Made this for us and it is so yummy. Even better...kids love it! Perfect for dipping fruit and celery in. Try it! Thanks Julina!
-1 cup Natural Peanut Butter
-1 cup Cottage Cheese
-Juice 1 Lemon
-2 tsp (or so) Agave Nectar or Honey
!. Puree cottage cheese with little bit of lemon juice in food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
2.Heat up peanut Butter in microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften.
3. Combine pureed cottage cheese, peanut butter, rest of lemon juice, and agave nectar in a bowl; mix until smooth. Taste, add more agave if you want it sweeter.
4. Serve with sliced apples, pears, celery, or anything you like. Yummy!
* Original recipe calls for cream cheese, but cottage cheese can mimic the texture of cream cheese when it is pureed, the lemon juice gives it the tangy taste- more protein and half the fat!!
*The cool thing about Agave Nectar is that you can use t in place of sugar. It has low glycemic index number- which means it does not spike up your blood sugar levels the way sugar and honey do. So it is great for diabetics and hypoglycemics.
