Healthy Yogurt Fruit Dip is light, nutritious and the perfect sweet dip for a tray of fresh fruit. This dip is kid-friendly, makes a great work snack and can be made in under 5 minutes. You can swap out the almond butter for your favorite nut butter.
I love fresh fruit season, a.k.a. summer. My kids love to snack on fresh fruit, or eat some with their breakfast.
I decided to make snack time a little more exciting by giving them a dip for that delicious fruit.
I definitely don’t think fruit needs a dip but sometimes it is nice to try something new and get the kiddos excited.
Not only am I excited about today’s Healthy Yogurt Fruit Dip but I am also excited to be sharing an exciting new partnership that Stonyfield and Target are a part of a program called the Target Made to Matter .
This program is focused on sustainability and is a partnership of companies that are making a difference.
To qualify as part of the select group, brands had to support all three pillars of the Made to Matter program — foster unique collaborative partnerships, develop exclusive innovations and be committed to social responsibility.
Some of the brands that are part of this partnership are Method, KIND, Annie’s, Seventh Generation, Justin’s, babyganics, Zarbee’s Naturals, Cascadian Farms Organic and more.
Along with this partnership with Target, Stonyfield is releasing a new Greek yogurt product that will contain grains and seeds, and will be on the shelves of your local Target soon.
This new Greek yogurt is organic, Non-GMO and made without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones and antibiotics and packs 13 grams of protein per cup.
I can’t wait for this stuff to hit the shelves. These are going to come in six flavors: flax–> blueberry, coconut {yum} and orange cranberry and buckwheat & quinoa–> strawberry, vanilla and maple.
This Healthy Yogurt Fruit Dip is inspired by two products from the Made to Matter campaign–Stonyfield Greek Yogurt and Justin’s Almond Butter.
Both of these things are on my favorites list. When Justin’s nut butters are around, watch out! Oh and have you tried those peanut butter cups they make? Dangerous!
If you are looking for healthy snack ideas for your kids then this is the recipe for you.
You can make this in under 5 minutes using either Greek yogurt or plain yogurt, honey and almond butter {or any nut butter you like}.
My kids loved dipping their fruit in something fun like this {and of course Drew moved from dipping to just using his hands to eat the yogurt} and I like the fact that they are putting healthy food in their bodies.
You could easily make a batch of this dip and portion it out for work, picnics, after school soccer games and bring the dippers along with you.
Share your creations with me and tag #acedarspoon on Instagram if you make any of my recipes. I love to see what you guys are loving.

I love the little packets of Justin's nut butters. Seriously, I just eat them right from the little packet! Nut butters are one of my favorite snacks!
Loving this yogurt tip, Julia! I'd eat this straight from the bowl!

What a great dip for fruit...or eating by the spoonfuls. I have to admit I would probably go with the spoon. LOL!
