Peanut Dip


Serves: 10
Total Calories: 55

Ingredients

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, or crunch natural peanut butter
2 packets artificial sweetener (Equal)
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh
2 tablespoons chili sauce, tomato-based, or catsup
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Dash of cayenne pepper

Directions:

The first time I tried this recipe I thought it would be either awful or wonderful. It's wonderful! Serve it with celery sticks, cucumber slices, jicama strips, and/or fresh pineapple chunks. (You can use canned pineapple, but fresh is much better.) Peanut butter is a concentrated source of calories, but, according to our knowledge of glycemic reaction, the fat content should assist in slowing the rise of blood sugar. The fiber in the fresh vegetables and fruit will also help to slow blood sugar rise. Remember also that peanut oil is a monounsaturated fat and may actually help cholesterol problems. For those reasons, an extra serving shouldn't be a problem for an active child. I say all of this because 2 tablespoons might look like a paltry serving. Put it in the center of a small plate and surround it with raw vegetables and ½ cup of pineapple chunks (1 FRUIT). It's a filling snack.

Mix all ingredients together and serve at room temperature.
