Fruit Dip

To help cope with fruit becoming monotonous I came up with this delicious fruit dip. Super high in protein and calcium, very low in fat and 100% delicious!

Its very non-specific, and I didn't measure anything. I used strawberry yogourt, although I'm sure any flavour would be good. 

Dip 1

1/2 container of low fat cottage cheese
1/2 container fat free strawberry yogourt ( I actually used 2-3 little cups, the fruit on the bottom ones since I had those in my house and I think they have better flavour)

If you want to make it extra fancy (and way less healthy)
4-6 tbsp cool whip, or dream whip (or whipped cream)
1tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Mix it all together and enjoy! 


Dip 2

This is one my mom used to make for us as kids. I'm pretty sure we thought it was better than ice cream! Again I didn't really measure anything, just guessed and kept tasting until it was good. This one I just ate as yogourt rather than a dip, and added raw oats and berries to.

To a mostly full (you need some room to stir) container of fat-free vanilla yogourt add 1-2 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Mix & enjoy. 

In all honesty you may need WAY more lemon and cinnamon than I have suggested...just start with those volumes and increase until you can taste both the cinnamon and the lemon! This one also tasted AMAZING as a frozen yogourt. I've got my ice cream make in the freezer at this exact moment so I can have frozen yogourt with berries for breakfast!
