Healthy High-Protein Strawberry Dip Recipe with Greek Yogurt

  • Author: neuriox
  • Total Time: 10 minutes (plus optional 30 minutes chilling)
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

This creamy, high-protein strawberry dip blends Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and fresh strawberries for a sweet, healthy snack. It’s quick to make, kid-approved, and perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt (whole milk, 2%, or non-fat)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or thawed and drained frozen strawberries)
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30–45ml) honey (or maple syrup/agave for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Sliced apples, bananas, graham crackers, or pretzels for serving

Instructions

  1. Hull and chop 1 cup of fresh strawberries. If using frozen, thaw fully and drain off excess liquid. Set aside a few slices for garnish if desired.
  2. Add cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to a blender or food processor. Pour in honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until silky smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Add the chopped strawberries. For a chunkier dip, pulse 3–4 times; for a smoother dip, blend another 20–30 seconds until pale pink and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more honey if needed. If too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or almond milk.
  5. Fold in lemon zest or extra chopped strawberries for texture, or a scoop of vanilla protein powder for more protein, if desired.
  6. For best flavor, cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (Optional; can be served immediately.)
  7. Spoon dip into a serving bowl. Garnish with reserved strawberry slices or lemon zest. Serve with apple slices, graham crackers, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend cottage cheese first before adding yogurt. Use ripe, sweet strawberries for best flavor. Chill for a thicker, cheesecake-like dip. Adjust sweetness to taste. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and soft tofu or vegan cream cheese. Keeps in fridge up to 3 days; stir before serving.
