High in protein and packed with flavor, this chocolate peanut butter yogurt dip is the best ever! 

This peanut butter yogurt dip makes snack time more fun and interactive for the kids -ok, and us adults, too!- so I had to share it with you! It’s packed with protein and all the flavors kids love.

If you ask my kids what their favorite thing to eat is, it would be chocolate! Because chocolate recipes are such a huge success at my house, I like to find healthier ways to incorporate this favorite flavor into snack time or into their lunchbox as a treat.

I load their school lunchboxes up with apple slices and strawberries for them to dip into this peanut butter yogurt dip while I lick the spoon because, it’s that good!

If you make a snack box ahead of time and are wondering how to keep the apples from browning, I will tell you not worry; with this dip, everybody will overlook that the apples have turned brown!

Ingredients

Four tasty, simple, and nutritious ingredients are everything you need to make this dip a reality. Check out the list with tips about possible swaps:

  • Vanilla yogurt: regular or Greek. If using Greek yogurt, the consistency will be thicker. For a non-dairy version, use my dairy-free yogurt recipe.
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: the chocolate in this dip!
  • Peanut butter: or your favorite nut-free alternative.
  • Maple syrup or honey: for natural sweetness.
  • Fruits: apple slices, strawberries, or your favorite fruits for dipping. More ideas below.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

Is this the easiest dip ever? Yep! The real challenge is not to eat it all at once! Here are the two simple steps:

  1. Combine
    Use a medium bowl to combine all the ingredients.
  2. Refrigerate
    Refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes before enjoying it with your favorite fruits!

I might have licked the bowl after making this high-protein peanut butter yogurt dip on video day. I couldn’t help it! It’s so good. When you watch this video, you’ll understand why!

What to Dip in It

Or should I say what not to dip in it? Really, you can dip any fruit or even popcorn into its chocolatey-rich delicious texture! Some tasty ideas are:

  • Apple slices
  • Strawberries
  • Orange segments
  • Tangerine segments
  • Peach slices
  • Pear slices
  • Cherries
  • Blueberries
  • Grapes
  • Honeydew melon pieces
  • Cantaloupe slices
  • Dried fruit
  • Popcorn
  • Pretzels
  • Pita chips

More Healthy Treats

If your kids love peanut butter, this coconut peanut butter dip and these chocolate oatmeal cookies are must-try snack recipes. I also love these brownie energy bites, homemade almond joy, or these fruit and yogurt popsicles that are a terrific healthy treat for summer days!

    love this idea! My kids strangely don’t dip things, except for hummus, but I will certainly try this one. Will make it nut-free for my son’s lunchbox. The challenge, though, is his school doesn’t like anything chocolate but I’m hoping they’ll notice this is a healthy chocolate recipe!!

      I hope they enjoy it! And with a nut-free version, it tastes just as delish. 🙂

    Such a fun recipe! Do you have any suggestions for making it dairy-free? My son can’t have milk (including yogurt). Thanks!

    Yummy! I made this yesterday and put a small scoop of it on banana slices, arranged the slices on a tray and then threw it in the freezer. It made a delicious chocolate, peanut butter and banana treat!
