Apples dipped in peanut butter is my daughter’s favorite after-school snack.
Each time I offer her an apple she sweetly asks, “Can I have peanut butter with it?”
And each time, I smile and place a generous dollop of the creamy goodness on her plate of sliced fruit.
Of course, I would love to eat as much peanut butter as she does, but that is just not meant to be for me and my skinny jeans.
That is where this Skinny Peanut Butter Powder Fruit Dip for One comes in to save the day!
I am happy to share my little peanut butter secret with you…
powdered peanut butter!
I was introduced to this delicious peanut butter “alternative” a couple years ago and I use it almost daily. It consists of peanuts that have been pressed into a powder. Because of this process, much of the fat and calories have been eliminated.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am all about eating plenty of healthy fats and calories, but I do enjoy this particular “skinny” food.
I alternate between this peanut butter fruit dip and my Skinny Chocolate Dip for One almost every.single.night.
There are only 135 calories in this easy peanut butter powder recipe. Hello low calorie, gluten free, clean eating, and vegetarian sweet snack. 🙂
Here are a few other ways to enjoy powdered peanut butter:
-mix it with water and use as the filling for Ants on a Log (celery, PB, raisins)
-combine it with water and dip carrots sticks
-the ahhhmazing Apple Nachos with Salted Caramel PB Sauce
-add it to chocolate smoothies…all the flavors of a peanut butter cup!
More often than not, I purchase powdered peanut butter at Sam’s Club as it is priced well, but I have also purchased it on Amazon. I have not noticed a difference between the different brands- PB2, PBfit, NakedPB.
This healthy snack will quickly become your go-to snack just like it has for me! PB2 & fruit will definitely be a win. You’ll see!
You can even make several batches of this Skinny Peanut Butter Powder Fruit Dip in advance and store in the fridge.

Dash of salt
Apple, banana, or other fruit
Step 1:

I want to try this as I love apples in peanut butter. Can I substitute Stevia for coconut sugar?
Hi Kristin! You can absolutely substitute stevia for the coconut sugar. However, please use much less stevia than the measurement says for the coconut sugar. I’m sure you know that, but I just wanted to be sure. 🙂 I hope you enjoy this yummy dip!
I mix equal parts of the PB powder & chocolate whey protein powder together with water to a creamy consistency & I LOVE IT !!! It’s amazing…I make a tub of it every week & keep in the fridge
Yum! That’s a great idea. I will have to try your recipe. Happy eating!

Wow! Thank you so much for featuring this recipe, Kim. Yes, if you are trying to eat healthier this is a great alternative to peanut butter if you are needing to carve out a few calories here and there 🙂 “See” you tomorrow!
I’ve never tried powdered peanut butter but so curious. This sounds so good so it might be time to try!!
Oh, Ann, you will love it! I use it all.the.time., in everything, and never tire of it! Ha!
I am loving this dip! So simple and packed with flavor! Thank you for sharing this scrumptious recipe at the Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!
Hey Aly! I am so glad you love this dip as much as I do 🙂 Peanut butter and apples are a match made in heaven!
Powdered peanut butter?! I’ve never heard of that before!
This looks and sounds fabulous!
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Thanks Jennifer! Yes, powdered peanut butter is delish and so versatile. I’m pretty much obsessed with it 😉 lol “See” you soon!
This is an awesome combination! Can’t wait to try!
Isn’t it the best, Jo?! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
My husband’s two favorite ingredients are chocolate and…peanut butter. Thank you for sharing this with us at the Family Joy Blog Linkup. I’ve never purchased powdered peanut butter but I saw you said it’s available on Amazon.
Hi Charlotte! Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter?! YUM! Yes, you can purchase powdered PB online or you can probably find it at your local grocer 🙂
Regular peanut butter tends to “slip off” especially with a juicy Apple. I love this dip- seems easier to actually dip the apple!
Yes, the “slippage”. Ughhh. I got you girl! 😉 That definitely does not happen with this dip. Yay!
Great idea! I just saw the PB Fit in the store yesterday, I am going to pick up some and definitely try this dip. Pinned 🙂
You definitely should, Angela! I put some in individual containers last week to bring with me on vacation…that’s how obsessed with it I am! haha
This peanut butter dip is such a great idea! You save so many calories by using powdered peanut butter! Loos absolutely delicious and refreshing!
We make a version of this almost every week. 🙂 If you want it fluffy, you can also fold in some whipped topping.
Hey Nikol! That is a great idea, I may have to try that soon! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I am with your daughter on this one… every apple slice needs a big dollop of peanut butter! Any ideas on the amounts if I use regular peanut butter? We don’t have the powdered right now. Thanks!
Hey girl! Try adding 1 Tbsp of regular peanut butter and see if it is “peanut buttery” enough 😉 You may need a teaspoon more…on darn, right?! YUM!
