Pro Tips

Use full-fat yogurt for a richer mouthfeel and to prevent separation when mixing with thick peanut butter, especially in sauces.
When combining, warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. This makes it more fluid and easier to whisk into yogurt without lumps.
For savory applications, opt for unsweetened plain yogurt and natural peanut butter to control salt and sugar content, adjusting to your preference.
To prevent a grainy texture in sauces or dips, whisk peanut butter into a small portion of yogurt first to create a smooth paste, then gradually incorporate the remaining yogurt.
