Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s not only quick and easy to make, but also healthy and satisfying. The Greek yogurt adds a creamy, rich texture and a good dose of protein, while the honey and vanilla bring just the right amount of sweetness. It’s naturally gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and a crowd-pleaser at parties or family gatherings. I also like how I can make it ahead of time and store it for the week — it’s that convenient.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Greek Yogurt – I use plain Greek yogurt for the base of this dip. I prefer whole milk (full-fat) yogurt for a creamier texture, but low-fat or nonfat work as well.
Honey – This is my go-to natural sweetener. It blends smoothly into the yogurt and adds a gentle sweetness without overpowering the flavor.
Vanilla Extract – I like to add pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the yogurt and honey, giving it that classic, sweet aroma.
Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more honey.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and (optionally) drizzle a little extra honey on top or garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Serve immediately with fresh fruits or chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Variations
Add Cinnamon Or Nutmeg – I sometimes mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, cozy flavor twist.
Use Maple Syrup – If I’m out of honey or just want a different flavor, I swap it with pure maple syrup for a deeper sweetness.
Mix In Nut Butter – Stirring in a spoonful of almond or peanut butter creates a richer, nuttier dip that’s also higher in protein.
Fold In Berries – I like to fold in chopped strawberries or blueberries for texture and pops of fruity flavor.
Make It Vegan – I use a plant-based yogurt and a vegan sweetener like agave syrup or maple syrup to make this recipe fully vegan.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for up to 5 to 7 days. I don’t recommend freezing it, as the texture tends to break down and become grainy once thawed. There’s no need to reheat this dip — I serve it chilled straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
FAQs
Can I Use Flavored Greek Yogurt?
Yes, I can use flavored yogurt like vanilla or honey-flavored Greek yogurt, but I usually reduce or skip the added sweetener to avoid making the dip too sweet.
What Fruits Pair Best With This Dip?
I love serving this dip with strawberries, apples, grapes, melon, pineapple, and bananas. It also goes well with crackers, pretzels, or graham crackers for a little crunch.
Can I Make This Dip Ahead Of Time?
Absolutely. I often make it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. The flavors meld together beautifully as it chills, making it even more delicious.
Is This Dip Suitable For Kids?
Yes, it’s a great healthy snack for kids. It’s lightly sweetened and full of protein, and I find it’s a fun way to get them to eat more fruit.
Can I Double Or Triple The Recipe?
Yes, I easily scale this recipe up to feed a larger group. Just increase the ingredient amounts proportionally and use a larger mixing bowl.
