Last year, I decided to take control of my health and did a complete lifestyle overhaul, which included being much more mindful about nutrition and what I put into my body. It's all about finding what works for you---what works for one person may not work for another---but in my case, I have gotten great results and achieved better health by eliminating most sugar from my diet, and limiting the amount of carbohydrates that I consume.

One of the biggest challenges for me has been transitioning from unhealthy cooking, to being more health-conscious in the kitchen, and now I LOVE sharing my favorite low carb recipes---including this most recent one: cream cheese fruit dip!

This was a total accident that I experimented with last night---and it turned out to be one of the most delicious accidents ever! I spotted a cream cheese fruit dip in the produce section at the grocery store, and I'm sure it tasted great, but it was LOADED with sugar and a long list of other ingredients that I couldn't pronounce. So, I went home and thought I'd try to make my own, using sugar-free ingredients with lower carbohydrates and none of those other added, un-pronounceable ingredients.

It ended up being DELICIOUS. It even got my husband's stamp of approval---he loved it so much that he wanted to lick the bowl, just like cake batter!

If you're in the same boat that I am, trying to be healthy, but also want to indulge in something sweet once in a while, then you'll love this! It's super easy to throw together, inexpensive to make, and not a lot of clean up.

Feel free to follow my health blog on Instagram for more recipes @betterbender, and let me know how you enjoy this dip!
