Healthy snacks can be difficult to come by, especially when you’re trying to avoid overly processed packaged snacks.

Greek yogurt has been one of my go-to’s for years because it’s nutritious and is a good source of protein as well.

Recipe ingredients

Greek yogurt. Use plain Greek yogurt to control the amount of sugar. I prefer to use 5% for the creamiest texture, but low fat or non fat Greek yogurt will work if you prefer.
Key limes. When I make my key lime pie or key lime cookies, I usually have a few key limes left over. This dip is one of my favorite ways to utilize them. You can certainly substitute the key limes with regular limes, lemons or even oranges.
Honey. Sub the honey with maple syrup or powdered sugar if you prefer. I don’t recommend using granulated sugar as it may not dissolve well.
Fruit/graham crackers. The fruits, graham crackers and biscuit cookies pictured above show that anything goes with this Greek yogurt fruit dip. It’s great paired with your favorites!

Recipe FAQs

Does Greek yogurt get watery?

This Greek yogurt dip will get watery over time as the whey separates from the solids, especially if the dip is left out or stored in the refrigerator over a prolonged period of time.

If the liquid does separate, simply stir the yogurt to reincorporate the whey. You can also strain the Greek yogurt in a cheesecloth lined sieve over a bowl to remove excess whey completely.

Can I make the dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! Greek yogurt dip can be made up to a day in advance. If the liquid has separated, simply give it a good stir to reincorporate it.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Regular yogurt is much thinner and less creamy than Greek yogurt, so I don’t recommend using it.

Can non-dairy yogurt be used for fruit dip?

Non-dairy yogurt such as almond, coconut or soy can be used for yogurt fruit dip, however the texture and flavor will vary depending on the variety used. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
