Graham Cracker Crumb Fruit Dip

Sometimes you just need something simple and delicious.  I try and eat a couple servings of fruit a day, but sometimes feel as if I’m getting in a rut. It’s easy to get bored of being healthy and to want to eat that muffin or donut instead. (Raise your hand if you’re with me!) Well I have good news; this fruit dip is the answer to that health rut! With sweet vanilla and graham cracker crumb flavors you’ll feel as if you’re eating something luxurious and rich, when in reality you’re enjoying the benefits of a very healthy snack! This dip is light, easy to make, and good enough that your friends will be begging for the recipe- seriously! Enjoy this dip as an appetizer, afternoon snack, or for a healthy dessert! You’ll be so glad you made it. I know my house was!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. cool whip
• 1 small package of Vanilla pudding
• 2 cups plain yogurt
• ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
• Fresh fruit of your choice- apple slices, strawberries, cantaloupe, blueberries, bananas, etc.
