Why You’ll Love This Yogurt Fruit Dip

This dip isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients to fuel your body and support overall wellness. Plus, just 81 calories per serving with 1g fat, 11g carbs and 6g protein.  Let’s break down the functional benefits of the ingredients:

  • Greek Yogurt: A powerhouse of protein, probiotics, and calcium, Greek yogurt helps build muscle, improve gut health, and support strong bones. This makes it an excellent base for a healthy fruit dip. I used a 2% milkfat yogurt over full-fat, I felt this compromise gave a more luxurious creamy mouthfeel than using zero-fat.  Plain is what was used in the recipe, but vanilla would also be a nice substitute.
  • Honey: A natural sweetener that provides antioxidants and energy without refined sugar. It adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tanginess of the yogurt and lime.
  • Greens Powder: This greens blend is packed with digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics, and superfoods to support digestion, immune function, and energy levels. It’s a great way to add more greens to your day while enjoying a simple and delicious superfood dip. I used Smarter Greens Powder for Daily Wellness, it has no added sugar, 125 million probiotic CFUs, the power of 40 superfoods – including 37 fruits and vegetables (literally, I don’t think I could eat this many types of produce in whole food form in a day – and variety is so important for your body)! 
  • Fresh Lime Juice and Zest: The citrus zing cuts the earthiness of the greens powder while providing a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants. Combined with honey, it creates a perfectly balanced honey lime dip that enhances any fruit you pair it with. Get a citrus squeezer and two-way zester to make life easy!

Simple to Make, Easy to Scale

This Honey Lime Greens Dip is as easy as it gets—just mix up the ingredients, drizzle with honey, and enjoy! The recipe serves three, but if you’re hosting a party, it’s effortless to scale up to serve a crowd. Just multiply the ingredients and set out a big bowl with a variety of fruit for dipping—grapes, berries, apple slices, or whatever you love! This easy healthy snack is perfect for entertaining or meal prepping.

This dip is a delicious way to boost your nutrient intake while satisfying your sweet tooth. Whether you enjoy it as a post-workout snack, a refreshing mid-afternoon treat, or a healthy dessert at your next gathering, it’s sure to be a hit!

Gingerbread Protein Waffles for a Festive Fitmas!

Enjoy festive flavors and fuel our body right in the morning with these Gingerbread Protein Waffles – a seasonal, easy-to-make, and downright delicious way to keep your health goals in check without feeling deprived.

This high-protein holiday breakfast treat is not only packed with classic gingerbread spices that scream holiday vibes, but they’re also a powerhouse of protein thanks to cottage cheese and protein powder. Cottage cheese gives the batter creaminess while delivering a big protein punch, and protein powder amps things up even more.

My favorite protein powder for gingerbread recipes with protein powder (and making protein baked treats in general) is Clean Lean Protein from Nuzest – use my discount code FITFORK to save on your next purchase!)

Making these waffles couldn’t be simpler. Just blend up cottage cheese, protein powder, eggs, spices, and a handful of other easy ingredients to create a smooth batter. Then, let your waffle iron do the rest! Whether you use a mini waffle iron to cook them one at a time (makes about 12 waffles) or a larger 4-square waffle maker to knock them out quicker (done in three rounds!), you’ll have warm, spiced waffles ready in no time.

One serving of three waffles has just 240 calories and a whopping 23 grams of protein (full macros in the recipe card below). They’re perfect for breakfast, post-workout refueling, or even a holiday-inspired snack. I love topping mine with warm sugar-free lemon curd that’s been thinned out to a syrupy consistency. The bright citrusy zing pairs so well with the rich gingerbread flavor. A sugar-free maple syrups is a yummy pairing, too!

If you’re looking for holiday meal prep ideas, this recipe is a game changer. I often double or even triple the batch and freeze the extras for busy mornings or grab-and-go snacks. Just pop them in the toaster or air fryer for the best results, and they’ll taste as good as fresh off the iron.

So, this holiday season, don’t let all the treats derail your goals. These Gingerbread Protein Waffles let you indulge in festive flavors while staying on track. Whip up a batch (or three) and enjoy every healthy, seasonal bite!

This gingerbread waffle recipe is based on my original and very popular Cottage Cheese Waffles recipe! You can check it this yummy protein waffle with cottage cheese recipe here: Easy Protein Powder Cottage Cheese Waffles.
