I purchased the TI Mini Devkit ( http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2541dk-mini ) for $99 and used the USB dongle to run packet sniffing firmware and use TI's SmartRF Packet Sniffer software to display the data. It's not without issues, but it works alright.

The UI is fairly limited and it doesn't do a very good job of filtering or analyzing packets although the format of the data is public so you can write your own tools or find tools others have written to analyze the data further.

You can also use the iPhone itself as a packet logger on jailbroken phones (iOS 7.0.6 or below):

The app they provide is windows (actually it's a command-line tool) which sends packets to wireshark. I love it and I like that it uses wireshark with which I am very familiar. It works under parallels just fine, I too am an OSX user.

I initially asked Nordic for the protocol and they said no, so I picked it apart, it's pretty simple, and just last week Nordic open-sourced it which was rather nice of them so it's easier for me to finish it up.
