Sweet & Salty

Sometimes I find myself craving something creamy yet filling enough to tide me over until the next meal, a spoonful of chocolate chip covered peanut butter always does the trick. It's almost as sweet as dessert but the good kind with healthy fat, protein and antioxidants (if you choose the dark chocolate over milk)! It's easy to assemble, just scoop a spoonful then dip it into a bag of chocolate chips. Be creative--you can either use the crunchy, creamy, or natural version. It doesn't have to be chocolate chips; dunk it in chopped nuts, granola, white chocolate chips, trail mix, raisins, craisins, or any dried fruit then drizzle with honey or agave if you want! My favorite pairing is the creamy or crunchy with dark mini chocolate chips. Have it with a glass of milk before bed to get the benefits of protein overnight so you feel refueled for your A.M. workout. Remember, little goes a long way so a spoonful is all you need!
