I could live on fruit. As in, no other foods in my diet. Ok, fine … I could maybe add in some ice cream from time to time – just to balance things out. But REALLY, I adore fruit!

The Yogurt Fruit Dip I’ve Loved Since I Was Little

Seriously, I’ve loved this fruit dip most of my life. You see, when I was growing up, my mom and I used to go to Walt Disney World every summer. While we were in Florida, we always visited a friend who’d been a home-ec teacher with my mom.

And as you may have guessed, when hanging out with a former home-ec teacher, we always had really delicious meals. And desserts. And snacks.

With all of the amazing foods we shared together, I’m not sure why I remember this one particular Yogurt Fruit Dip so well. Actually, maybe it’s because I clearly remember that I had to refrain from licking the bowl. (I had to use my good manners, after all.)

When I complimented our friend on the most-scrumptious-fruit-dip-I-have-ever-eaten, she laughed at me! Laughed, I tell you! “Oh, Gretchen! This really isn’t even a recipe – it’s just thrown together! It’s so easy to make!”

Ok. Even better!

Still, I did finally write down the ingredients (so I would actually know what to “throw together”).

How to Make This Dip (And How It’s Healthier)

Over the years, I’ve made this easy, “throw together” fruit dip more times than I can count, and along the way, I’ve done my best to tweak it a little to make it as healthy as can be, without sacrificing the creamy-dreamy, sweet and delicious flavor I’ve always adored.

Luckily, since it takes just 3 minutes to whip up, it’s not only easy to make … but also easy to experiment with.

All you have to do is dump 4 ingredients in a bowl. And then stir. Done! Begin dipping!

Honestly, now that I think about it, 3 minutes might be a bit much – you can probably do it in about 1.7 if you’re focused! When I say this is an easy Fruit Dip recipe, I’m not messing with you, friends!

But anyway, since it’s so simple to make, it was also really easy to experiment with healthier swaps.

Our friend’s original version was made with sour cream, but now I make mine with probiotic-filled, protein-rich Greek yogurt. I’ve also found that I can reduce the original amount of brown sugar.

But it’s still absolutely delicious, full of sweet, brown sugar and vanilla joy. And now it’s more guilt-free, too!

Plus, it’s a way, way more healthy fruit dip than all those other recipes featuring things like Cool Whip and marshmallow fluff!

Serving Ideas

1) Snacking

Of course, it’s a wonderful snack dip any time your fruit’s getting a bit boring or feeling a tad lonely.

Try it with whatever fruit you like, whatever happens to be in your fruit drawer.

Our friend always served her Yogurt Fruit Dip with fresh blueberries, and it was deeee-lish. But once I started making this dip for my own family, I realized it had possibilities far, far beyond just blueberries. Believe me, we’ve eaten it with practically every fruit you can think of – and that sweet, sugared-vanilla vibe has never let us down!

2) As a Dressing for Fruit Salads

Hey – here’s something you might not have thought of: you can also use this Yogurt Fruit Dip recipe more like a fruit salad dressing, which is great for things like brunches and bridal showers.

The consistency is just perfect, and the rich notes of brown sugar and vanilla add a little flair to “plain” fruit bowls. Drizzle some over top before serving, or offer it alongside so guests can each decide for themselves how much “dressing” they’d like to add.

3) Party Fruit Trays

And, no doubt, it’s the perfect party dip to serve at cookouts, potlucks and supper clubs, whenever you’re bringing a refreshing fruit tray. So nice and light, yet decadent-tasting, too. (Pssssst … for tips on making your fruit trays even more amazing, check out our ideas for easy DIY Fruit Bouquets to turn your fruit platters into edible works of art.

Or, with our irresistible Red, White and Blue Fruit Kabobs. Either way, your dish will be almost as impressive as the evening fireworks!
