My Favorite Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip
I first made yogurt fruit dip on a whim right before a family get-together. I had a big bowl of fruit but wanted something to make it feel a bit more special. I looked through my fridge, found some Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla, and figured, why not mix them together?
I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be such a hit! Even my son Connor, who sometimes acts like eating fruit is a chore, was happily dipping away. I caught him dipping blueberries, which he insists he does not like!
Now, this Greek yogurt fruit dip is my go-to whenever I need a quick and healthy snack, mainly because Connor requests it to be ready for him in the fridge when he gets home from school. I can prep it Sunday night and it’s ready to eat all week. I don’t mind it because it has him eating more fruit!

Yogurt Fruit Dip Recipe Ingredients
- Greek yogurt – Gives the dip its thick and creamy texture. Regular yogurt also works but will have a thinner consistency.
- Honey – Adds sweetness to the dip. I’ve also used maple syrup
- Vanilla extract – Brings a warm, sweet flavor that ties everything together
- Cinnamon – Enhances the warmth of the vanilla
How To Make Yogurt Fruit Dip
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Measure out the yogurt using a dry measuring cup, not a wet measuring cup into a large bowl. Even though yogurt is a ‘wet’ ingredient, it is important to level off the top of your yogurt to ensure an accurate amount.
STEP TWO: Measure the honey using the same ¼ cup measure as your yogurt. This will allow the honey to slide out of the cup more easily once measured. Gently stir in the vanilla and cinnamon with the yogurt and honey. Do not over-mix, as this may affect the thickness of the yogurt.
STEP THREE: Serve yogurt fruit dip right away or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
Tips for the Best Fruit Dipped in Yogurt
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. I’ve found that lower-fat versions can be a bit watery.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste. Sometimes, I add an extra drizzle of honey if I’m serving it with tart fruits like green apples.
- I recommend using dry measuring cups, not wet measuring cups, to measure out the yogurt, and I level off the top to get an accurate amount.
- I use the same measuring cup for the yogurt and then the honey. Filling it with yogurt first lets the honey slide out of the cup more easily once measured so less will get stuck.
- Avoid over-mixing the fruit dip. I gently stir the vanilla and cinnamon into the yogurt and honey to avoid deflating the dip, which can affect its thickness.
Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip Variations and Substitutions
- Swap the honey with 4 tablespoons of maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness. I like using maple syrup in the fall for a cozy flavor.
- If I’m out of Greek yogurt, I’ll substitute plain or vanilla yogurt. Because regular yogurt is sweeter, I always taste and adjust the amount of honey. I also serve it with sturdy fruit since dip made with regular yogurt will be thinner and slide off the fruit more easily.
- I like to play around with the spices by adding more to the cinnamon or replacing it entirely. Some of my favorites are ginger, pumpkin pie spice blend, or even turmeric!
- For a chocolate version, I’ll mix in some cocoa powder or a little hot cocoa. My kids act like it’s dessert!
- A splash of lemon juice is amazing for enhancing the tangy flavor of the dip. This variation is so good with fresh berries.
What are the Best fruits dipped in yogurt?
I like using a mix of sweet and tart fruits to balance the creamy, slightly sweet dip. Apples, strawberries, pineapple, banana slices, and grapes are always a hit. When they’re in season, I also love using mango slices and kiwi for a more tropical vibe.
Yogurt Fruit Dip FAQs
How do I fix crystallized honey?
Anytime my honey crystallizes, I just place the jar of honey in water that’s hot but not boiling. After it sits for a few minutes, the honey warms up and returns to a much smoother consistency!
How long does yogurt fruit dip last?
Because yogurt fruit dip is dairy-based, I store mine in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I enjoy making it ahead of time or just enjoying leftovers throughout the week. I give it a quick stir to reincorporate the textures and flavors before serving!
Can this yogurt fruit dip recipe be made ahead of time?
My Greek yogurt fruit dip is great for making ahead of time! It stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, so I’ll often prep a batch 1-2 days ahead of an event. That way, I just have to give it a quick stir before serving.
What are the nutritional benefits of greek yogurt fruit dip?
My yogurt fruit dip recipe is packed with protein from the Greek yogurt, natural sweetness from the honey, and beneficial antioxidants from the cinnamon. I love that it’s a healthier option compared to store-bought fruit dips, but it’s so creamy and delicious, my whole family loves it!
