GlutenFree Me Lunch Box: Peanut Butter dip

I started this gluten free food segment, GlutenFree Me, to encourage myself and others that are struggling to GlutenFree their diets. Look for pictures of gluten free meals, reviews of gluten free recipes and products and gluten free tips and tricks. 


My mother in law introduced me to this dip. It's just peanut butter and yogurt. That's it. I'm not even a big peanut butter fan and I like this dip. 

I use one plain Oikos single serve 5.3 oz container and about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (I use JIF natural). Because I use plain yogurt, I sometimes sweeten it with agave nectar, but if you use vanilla or honey flavored yogurt, you wouldn't need anything else. You get super protein from the greek yogurt and super protein from the peanut butter and BAM, you're full.

Before I went off gluten, I would eat all of this dip with a big apple and be really full. So that would be a big apple, 5.3 oz yogurt and 2 tbsp. peanut butter. NOW, being off gluten, I eat half the dip and one or two small apples and... FULL. So this dip makes TWO servings.

Charlie (almost 18 months) LOVES this dip made with full fat greek yogurt and with cut up bananas. He really just tries to eat the dip with his spoon. It's great for spoon feeding because the dip sticks to the spoon so well.

Charlie at the Farmer's Market Spring Fling

Yes, this was two weekends ago. But I didn't know how to get photos to my computer from my phone at a high resolution easily – until now!

AAAHHHHHH! I'M RUNNINGGGGG!

This is Charlie's creepy pose.

Charlie pet this sheep and ever since, he has been pointing out all of the sheep in his books.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of sheep in the background illustrations of kids books.

We go on "bunny hunts" where we look for bunnies at Preston's parents' house / aka the wild. 

Did you say something?

And we will end this post with several swinging pictures that probably look the same to you but look different and equally awesome to me.

GlutenFree Me Lunch Box: TOAST

I started this gluten free food segment, GlutenFree Me, to encourage myself and others that are struggling to GlutenFree their diets. Look for pictures of gluten free meals, reviews of gluten free recipes and products and gluten free tips and tricks. 

Two slices gluten free bread, whipped cream cheese and apple butter with a banana.
