5-Minute Healthy Yogurt Fruit Dip | Walder Wellness, RD (2024)

Most fruits can be served with fruit dips, but below are some of my favourites!

In the summer months, I’d recommend serving this fruit dip with:

• sliced nectarines or peaches
• whole strawberries
• smaller berries, like blueberries or raspberries (serve with toothpicks!)
• cut up pineapple chunks
• banana slices
• halved apricots

In the fall/winter months, you can serve this fruit dip with:

• sliced apples
• sliced pears
• orange slices (I particularly like mandarin or sumo oranges here)
• fresh grapes

TIP: You may lean towards fruits that are big enough to hold and dip with your hands, but you can always serve smaller fruits with toothpicks or a fork!

*TIPS:

• You may want to serve this fruit platter with some toothpicks or small forks. This is especially helpful if you’re serving fruit dip with smaller fruits, like blueberries or grapes.
• Serve the dip in a small bowl and surround it with an assortment of colourful, fresh fruits! I’d recommend choosing at least 3 different kinds/colours of fruits to make things pretty 🙂
• You can wash and prep the fruit in advance. For any fruit that browns easily (e.g. bananas, apples, pears), you may want to cut them right before serving. That said, a squeeze of lemon juice and storing covered in the fridge can help delay the browning process a bit!

*DAIRY-FREE/VEGAN VERSION: For a dairy-free or vegan version of this recipe, simply swap the plain greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative. There are all sorts of brands available in stores these days!
