{yummy} apple-worthy fruit dip

dips are always easy. they're easy to make. easy to eat. easy to serve. they're just my fave. period.

this past december i highlighted my gluten-free breakfast casserole from my baubles and brunch party, but one of the other dishes stood out to everyone at the party. it was the fruit dip. made simply out of ingredients most people have in their kitchens right now, it's a sure to please dish. most find themselves hovering around it scooping up heaps of it with apple slices. i found myself doing it and i usually don't like apples...unless they're in pie form. i love pie. anywayyyyy, it got me thinking- there has to be a healthier version of said dip.



after more interweb and pinterest searching, i found the solution: greek yogurt and chia seeds. i can now consume this dip every morning and not feel like i ate a block of cream cheese. so i give you both: the splurge and the save dip.


1 block of cream cheese
cinnamon
brown sugar
vanilla extract

mix and serve. delish.


1 16 oz. carton of fat free greek yogurt (use Fage- it's the real deal)
2 tbs. of chia seeds
cinnamon
brown sugar
vanilla extract

mix and let sit over night. then dip away.

they taste exactly the same, with the same consistency. it's truly shocking. major kudos to the 2 blogs i found said recipes on, chocolate, chocolate, and more and the yummy life. ya'll rock.
