If you crave sweet yet healthy snacks, almond butter and apples ticks all the boxes. The almond sauce is thick, creamy, and sweet without resorting to dairy. The crunchy bite of the apples gives a winning contrast and a hit of all-important vitamins.
Other Pairings for This Almond Butter Dip Recipe
Apples are the glorious perfect partner for this almond-based dip. However, you can also pair almond butter dipping sauce with fresh berries like strawberries and blueberries. It’s also great with grapes or for adding satisfying sweetness to your favorite crackers.
Make Your Almond Butter Dip Diet-Friendly
Anyone on a specialist diet will be delighted to hear that this almond butter dip recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-carb. Almonds are generally considered keto-friendly. They’re lower in carbs than many nut alternatives. For an even lower-carb option, you could swap out a portion of almond butter for macadamia butter. Apples aren’t considered keto-friendly, though, so swap them for low-carb strawberries.
Almonds are also suitable for the paleo diet. Just don’t resort to dipping breads and other grain-based foods into the dip. This shouldn’t be a problem as it’s most delicious with a slice of paleo-friendly fresh apple.
