Ingredients
You’ll need three everyday ingredients to make this easy dip:

If you’re feeling fancy, this simple dip with greek yogurt and peanut butter is extra satisfying with a topper. Feel free to sprinkle this with granola, coconut shreds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, and/or cinnamon to make it even tastier and more nutritious.
