Why You’ll Love This Yogurt Fruit Dip

This dip isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients to fuel your body and support overall wellness. Plus, just 81 calories per serving with 1g fat, 11g carbs and 6g protein.  Let’s break down the functional benefits of the ingredients:

  • Greek Yogurt: A powerhouse of protein, probiotics, and calcium, Greek yogurt helps build muscle, improve gut health, and support strong bones. This makes it an excellent base for a healthy fruit dip. I used a 2% milkfat yogurt over full-fat, I felt this compromise gave a more luxurious creamy mouthfeel than using zero-fat.  Plain is what was used in the recipe, but vanilla would also be a nice substitute.
  • Honey: A natural sweetener that provides antioxidants and energy without refined sugar. It adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tanginess of the yogurt and lime.
  • Greens Powder: This greens blend is packed with digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics, and superfoods to support digestion, immune function, and energy levels. It’s a great way to add more greens to your day while enjoying a simple and delicious superfood dip. I used Smarter Greens Powder for Daily Wellness, it has no added sugar, 125 million probiotic CFUs, the power of 40 superfoods – including 37 fruits and vegetables (literally, I don’t think I could eat this many types of produce in whole food form in a day – and variety is so important for your body)! 
  • Fresh Lime Juice and Zest: The citrus zing cuts the earthiness of the greens powder while providing a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants. Combined with honey, it creates a perfectly balanced honey lime dip that enhances any fruit you pair it with. Get a citrus squeezer and two-way zester to make life easy!

Simple to Make, Easy to Scale

This Honey Lime Greens Dip is as easy as it gets—just mix up the ingredients, drizzle with honey, and enjoy! The recipe serves three, but if you’re hosting a party, it’s effortless to scale up to serve a crowd. Just multiply the ingredients and set out a big bowl with a variety of fruit for dipping—grapes, berries, apple slices, or whatever you love! This easy healthy snack is perfect for entertaining or meal prepping.

This dip is a delicious way to boost your nutrient intake while satisfying your sweet tooth. Whether you enjoy it as a post-workout snack, a refreshing mid-afternoon treat, or a healthy dessert at your next gathering, it’s sure to be a hit!

This low carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Cottage Cheese Cup has a Reese’s flavor, it’s delicious — plus simple to make, loaded with protein (31g) and has no added sugar. The perfect snack or dessert for satisfying cravings while staying on track.
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: high protein, keto, low carb
Keyword: cottage cheese, high protein, keto, low carb, peanut butter
Servings: 1
Calories: 275 kcal
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup 2% cottage cheese don’t drain!
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter powder like PBfit, no added sugar variety
  • 5-10 drops stevia or monk fruit liquid drops more or less depending on sweetness preference
  • 60 sugar-free chocolate chips like @choczero lol, yes, I counted them out
  • ½ tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp chopped peanuts
Instructions
  1. In small blender, whip together cottage cheese and peanut butter powder until mostly smooth, scraping down blender as needed. If the mixture is just too thick, pour in a little more “juice” from the cottage cheese container (that’s actually the whey) . . . or a teaspoon of milk (but don’t get the mixture thin, you want it to be thick).

  2. Blend in sweetener drops until satisfied with the taste. Scrape this mixture into a 8-oz bowl or mug, smoothing off the top with a spatula.

  3. Add coconut oil to chocolate chips and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between, until smooth and glossy (it took me 1 minute total). Pour this over the cottage cheese mixture, sprinkle with the peanuts and set in the fridge for 20-ish minutes for the chocolate to harden into a shell.

Black-eyed Pea Texas Caviar

There’s something special about traditions that carry both delicious flavors and a dash of good fortune into the New Year. For my family, one dish that checks all those boxes is Texas Caviar. This bold and beautiful mix of black-eyed peas, roasted corn, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cilantro tossed in a zippy lime vinaigrette has been a staple on our New Year’s Day table for as long as I can remember. It’s said that black-eyed peas bring prosperity, but honestly, with a dish this good, we’re already starting the year rich—in flavor!

A Dish for Every Occasion

While Texas Caviar holds a special spot in our New Year’s traditions, it’s too good to reserve for just one day. Its versatility makes it a favorite all year long. Serve it as a vibrant side dish at barbecues and potlucks, or spoon it over a bed of greens for an easy, satisfying salad. And if you’re hosting game day or a casual gathering, pair it with tortilla chips for a dip that disappears faster than you can say, “Pass the salsa.”

Fresh, Healthy, and Oh-So-Texan

What makes Texas Caviar stand out is its balance of bold flavors and wholesome ingredients. The black-eyed peas provide fiber and protein, while roasted corn and tomatoes bring sweetness. Creamy avocado adds a luxurious texture, and red onion and cilantro deliver that signature Tex-Mex kick. The tangy lime vinaigrette ties everything together, creating a dish that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.

Make it Your Own

One of the best things about Texas Caviar is how adaptable it is. Want some heat? Add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder. Craving more crunch? Toss in diced bell peppers. And if you’re looking to up the protein, grilled shrimp or shredded chicken make excellent additions.

Ring in the New Year with Flavor

Whether you’re carrying on the tradition of black-eyed peas for luck or just looking for a vibrant, crowd-pleasing dish, Texas Caviar delivers. It’s fresh, flavorful, and a little zesty—everything you want when you’re starting a new chapter.

Black-eyed Pea Texas Caviar brings together bold flavors, wholesome ingredients, and a sprinkle of good fortune. This vibrant mix of black-eyed peas, roasted corn, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, crisp red onion, and fresh cilantro, all tossed in a zippy lime vinaigrette, has been a New Year’s Day tradition for as long as I can remember—those lucky black-eyed peas are said to bring prosperity, but the rich flavors alone make us feel like we’re starting the year off right. Beyond the holiday, Texas Caviar shines year-round as a versatile side for cookouts, a topping for salads, or a crowd-pleasing dip for game-day gatherings. Fresh, zesty, and undeniably Texan, it’s a dish that’s as nourishing as it is delicious and one you’ll want to make on repeat.

Here’s to a bright and prosperous New Year, full of health, happiness, and plenty of Texas Caviar! If you like this recipe, I have another similar version from my early blog days – this version has bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and chipotle chili powder (it’s a little spicier)!

Pomegranate Pistachio Chocolate Bark: A Lower Carb Holiday Treat

The holidays call for a little indulgence, but who says festive treats can’t also be healthy, simple, and stunning? Enter Lower Carb Pomegranate Pistachio Chocolate Bark—a one of my favorite healthy holiday desserts that checks all the boxes. With vibrant pops of pomegranate red and pistachio green against a backdrop of rich, dark chocolate, this treat is sparkling with the colors of the season. It’s the perfect balance of beauty, flavor, and nutrition to wow your friends and family.

Effortlessly Elegant

 If you’re looking for easy no-bake holiday desserts, you’ve come to the right place. Making this bark is almost too easy.

No need for fancy candy thermometers or complicated techniques; this recipe is beginner-friendly. Simply melt, sprinkle, and set.

To save time, you can grab pre-packaged pomegranate arils, sparing yourself the mess of de-seeding a pomegranate. You can also try shelf-stable dried pomegranate arils. However, if you enjoy the satisfaction of tackling the fruit yourself, go for it—just be prepared for ruby-hued fingers!

This three ingredient dessert recipe also uses zero-carb chocolate chips to avoid added sugar.  However, these sugar-free chocolate chips can be swapped with the chocolate chip of your choice – I occasionally do a mix of hand and half chips.

Good-for-You Festivity

This pistachio pomegranate bark isn’t just pretty; it’s packed with goodness.

  • Antioxidants: Dark chocolate, pomegranate seeds, and pistachios are all rich in antioxidants, supporting your body while satisfying your sweet tooth.

  • A party snack: Break it into shards and arrange it on a dessert tray for instant applause.
  • A surprise for friends: Hand-deliver little bundles to spread seasonal cheer. Wrap up in a cute reusable holiday container.

Whether you’re gifting it or keeping it for yourself, this bark is bound to become a new holiday tradition.

So why not skip the store-bought treats and whip up a batch of this jeweled delight? It’s proof that a little effort (and only three ingredients) can yield low carb holiday treats that are truly extraordinary.

Q & A FOR PROTEIN PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

What if I’m allergic to peanut butter? It is easy to swap the peanut butter for your favorite nut butter (almond butter works well), a seed butter, or even a nut-free spread like granola butter.

Do I have to use pumpkin? No, if you don’t care for pumpkin, you can just swap out for the same measurement of nut butter. However, note that this will add more calories and change the other macros.

Are there other options for the sugar-free chocolate chips? While I love sugar-free chocolate chips, and find they are very versatile for my protein treats, there are other options. So, yes, you can use traditional chocolate chips, dairy-free chocolate chips or carob chips. Note that the macros will change.

What are my protein powder options? You can use whey, plant-based, or whatever type of protein powder you love – really in any flavor (I have used both vanilla and pumpkin  flavors in whey). Or, you can substitute ¼ cup coconut flour for the 1/3 cup of protein powder. If you use an unflavored protein powder or coconut flour you will need to use a bit of sugar-free sweetener (to taste) in the filling mixture.

How do get cups out of muffin tins? If you don’t use liners, this is hard. You’ll need to freeze the cups almost completely, and then set out on counter for 5 minutes, and then shimmy out with a knife at the edges. The easiest way to prepare these chocolate peanut butter cups is to make this protein candy in reusable silicone cupcake liners or a silicone muffin pan for a no-fuss, no-mess outcome.

Course: Dessert, party, Snack, workout
Keyword: candy, chocolate, peanut butter, protein powder, sugar-free
Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 139 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup vanilla pumpkin or cake batter protein powder can use whey, plant-based, etc
  • 2 cups sugar free chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • ¼ – ½ tsp coarse sea salt for topping
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl combine peanut butter, pumpkin and protein powder until combined and it is sticky. Set in fridge.
  2. In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Microwave on high for 30 second increments, stirring well in between. Repeat until chocolate is fully melted, smooth and glossy 2-2.5 minutes total, typically.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cavity of a lined muffin tin. Use a spoon to gently press chocolate onto the sides of each liner, if it does not ooze over on its own. Place muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  4. Once the chocolate has set, remove peanut butter pumpkin mixture from fridge and approximately divide into 12 pieces (I just kinda “score” mine on top with the spatula).
  5. Add one section of the filling onto the top of the hardened chocolate, slightly pressing down with spatula to flatten some. Make that the filling does NOT reach the edges of the muffin cup, there should be a small bord.
  6. Next, top the filling with an even portion of the remaining chocolate. If needed, reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Sprinkle with sea salt and place in freezer to set for 10 more minutes.
  7. Store leftovers in the fridge!
