Why this Recipe Works
This Yogurt Dip for Fruit is such an easy snack to make at home to share—it’s so simple and quick to make that you could let the kids stir it together the 3 ingredients if you wanted to!
And it can also be used as an appetizer for a party, a dip for my Graham Crackers recipe, and as a dessert for kids since it tastes a little bit like frosting.

Ingredients You Need
To make this Yogurt Dip for Fruit, you’ll need these ingredients from the store:
- Greek yogurt: I prefer this due to how thick it is, but you can use regular style yogurt if you prefer. I almost always start with plain yogurt, but you can use vanilla too.
- Almond butter: A creamy almond butter adds subtle flavor to this dip. Any brand or variety will work. You can trade in peanut butter, a chocolate nut butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter.
- Honey or maple syrup: To add a little sweetness, if desired, you can use one of these sweeteners.
- Optional: You can also add a little vanilla if desired. You can also omit the nut or seed butter and add a little fresh lemon zest and lemon juice for a different flavor profile.
- Dippers: You can pair this with sliced fruit, such as pears, apples, berries, or sliced bananas, graham crackers, or really anything your kids like.
