Strawberry Fruit Dip

Last night Maggie and I went to an hour-long boot camp workout, and I know at least I sweat more than in 1.5 hrs of spin class. I felt bad for every person I walked within 10 feet of at the grocery store immediately afterwards. But I like a good sweaty workout, it means it’s doing something. It would be a bit of a waste of time otherwise, don’t you think? And since I have such a routine for my workouts (Monday Spin, Tuesday Arms, Wednesday Core & Spin, Thursday Legs or Yoga, etc.) boot camp was a nice change. Might even go back for some more torture.

But anyway, this dip has zero to do with working out. Unless of course you’d like to scoop up the entire bowl and then use that as motivation to burn off calories? Granted, compared to some fruit dips, this one isn’t too terrible for you if you ignore the strawberry marshmallow fluff. Using reduced fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt, it’s pretty much health food paired with fruit. Am I right?? Quit thinking about the fluff and concentrate on the Greek yogurt.

You could also use strawberry yogurt and regular marshmallow fluff.
