Sweetened naturally with honey and topped with sugar-free strawberry preserves, it's a perfect guilt-free treat to accompany fresh fruits or graham crackers.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup vanilla Whey protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • ¼ cup sugar-free strawberry preserves

Serving Suggestions

  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Bananas (optional)
  • Graham crackers (optional)
  • Other fruits of choice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the vanilla Greek yogurt, softened low-fat cream cheese, vanilla whey protein powder, and honey or maple syrup.
  2. Whisk Mixture: Using a hand mixer, whisk the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Chill Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
  4. Prepare Serving Dish: Transfer the chilled dip into a shallow serving bowl, smoothing the top evenly.
  5. Arrange Accompaniments: Arrange fresh strawberries and other desired dippable snacks such as bananas and graham crackers around the dip on a platter or tray.
  6. Add Strawberry Swirl: Spoon the sugar-free strawberry preserves on top of the dip, gently creating a swirl design with a knife or toothpick for an appealing finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Use fresh fruit and graham crackers for dipping to maintain the texture contrast with the creamy dip.
  • The dip can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For a thicker dip, use full-fat cream cheese instead of low-fat.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or preserves according to your taste preferences.
