Skinny Cake Batter Dip

Variations of this recipe have definitely made the Pinterest rounds! We really like it, and it is worth sharing, for sure!

I made cake batter dip for the first time quite awhile ago. My kids REALLY like Cool Whip and whipped cream, so I knew it would be a hit with them. Last time I made it, I made it with regular vanilla yogurt, and it was definitely not as impressive. This time, I made it with plain Greek yogurt, and it was awesome. The Greek yogurt gives it more of a cheesecake/cream cheese type flavor and texture. I definitely recommend sticking with the plain Greek yogurt. It is still plenty sweet!

For the 4th, I had planned on making it with red, white and blue funfetti mix, but I had a hard time finding it! I ended up finding it at Aldi at the last minute. I'm definitely going to try to remember that for the future! I know they always have red and green for Christmas too and probably other variations for other holidays too! Wouldn't they be fun for a Halloween or Valentine's Day cake batter dip for a school party???

Here is how I made it...

1 box funfetti cake mix
2 cups fat free, plain Greek yogurt
1 cup Cool Whip
Sprinkles, for garnish (optional)

Directions,

First, with a whisk, whip Cool Whip and Greek yogurt together until smooth. Then, gently stir in cake mix.

DONE!

I served mine with animal crackers, but it is awesome with grahams, Nilla wafers, a spoon...you get it!

Banana Peanut Butter Frosty

I ran across this recipe from moneysavingmom.com about a year or so ago, and we lovvvvvvvve it. It is so simple, inexpensive and DELICIOUS. What I love about it is that it can serve as breakfast, lunch OR dinner in a pinch. Plus, the bananas give it enough sweetness that it can satisfy your sweet tooth instead of eating something much LESS healthy. (I've considered making it with chocolate milk, but that sort of defeats the "healthy" purpose!)

The recipe is the easiest thing ever,

1 cup of frozen bananas
1 cup of milk
1 (or two) tablespoons of PB
1 tsp ground flax seed
2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips (optional)

Blend and serve! Thanks Money Saving Mom!
