Servings and Timing
-
Servings: Makes about 2-3 servings (depending on how much you like!)
-
Prep Time: 5 minutes
-
Total Time: 5 minutes
Optional Variations
-
Sugar-Free: If you’re avoiding added sugars, try using a natural sweetener like stevia or monkfruit. Or, go for fruit preserves or sugar-free chia jam for a unique twist!
-
Dairy-Free: If you can’t do dairy, opt for a plant-based yogurt alternative like Kite Hill, which is known for its high protein content.
-
Vegan: For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and make sure to use a plant-based yogurt.
-
Richer Version: If you’re craving a creamier dip, use 1% or 2% Greek yogurt instead of non-fat for a richer texture. While this will lower the protein slightly, it will add more satisfying fat!
-
Mix-Ins: Add protein powder for a protein boost or stir in mini chocolate chips, granola, or toasted chopped nuts for extra texture.
Expert Tips
-
Sweeten to Taste: Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your preference.
-
Use Greek-Style Yogurt: If you accidentally bought regular yogurt, you can turn it into Greek-style yogurt by draining it. Simply place it in a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a paper towel, and let it sit for 12 hours in the fridge to thicken.
-
Pair with the Right Fruits: Fruits like apples, pears, berries, peaches, nectarines, and plums pair wonderfully with Greek yogurt dip. Avoid citrus and pineapple as they can cause curdling.
Storage
-
Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh!
-
Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this dip, as yogurt can become grainy once thawed.
FAQs

For the best consistency and protein content, I recommend Greek yogurt or Icelandic Skyr. If you only have regular yogurt, follow the expert tips section to turn it into Greek-style yogurt!

Pretty much any fruit works well! Stick with mild fruits like berries, apples, pears, and stone fruits. Avoid citrus or pineapple as they can cause curdling in yogurt.

Yes! With 24 grams of protein, 190 calories, and 26 grams of carbs (with fiber), it’s a nutritious and satisfying snack.
