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!

Watermelon: The Simple, Sweet, and Smart Fuel for Your Workouts

Try these effective core exercises that will strengthen your abs, obliques, back and more. The fun part is using a mini personal watermelon -- and then eating it afterward!

This post is sponsored by National Watermelon Promotion Board / Watermelon.org

When it comes to fueling for workouts, the options can seem overwhelming. Rows of sports drinks, energy gels, and recovery powders line store shelves, each with a long list of ingredients you can barely pronounce. But what if fueling your body didn’t have to be so complicated? What if you could keep it simple and sweet with a single ingredient? Say hello to watermelon!

1. No Weird Ingredients—Just One Simple Superfood

Many sports nutrition products contain a blend of sugars, electrolytes, and amino acids designed to help athletes perform their best. But why reach for something processed when nature has already provided a perfect alternative? Watermelon is a clean, unprocessed fuel source packed with naturally occurring carbohydrates for energy, electrolytes for hydration, and even potassium (6%) for muscle support. No artificial flavors, no preservatives—just one delicious, wholesome ingredient – WATERMELON!

2. Hydration You Can Eat (or Drink!)

Hydration is key for any workout, and while sports drinks claim to keep you going, many come loaded with artificial additives. Watermelon, on the other hand, is over 92% water, making it a naturally hydrating choice that also provides essential nutrients. For watermelon hydration, you can munch on fresh slices (plain or sprinkled with these amazing, simple seasonings), blend it into a refreshing juice, or freeze it into hydrating ice pops for post-workout cool-downs. No matter how you enjoy it, watermelon keeps you hydrated while satisfying your taste buds.

3. Nutrient-Packed for Performance, Recovery & Wellness

Beyond hydration, watermelon is a nutritional powerhouse for active lifestyles. It provides:

  • Vitamin C – Supports immune function and tissue repair
  • Potassium – Helps with muscle function and electrolyte balance
  • L-citrulline – A natural amino acid that may reduce muscle soreness and enhance endurance
  • Antioxidants – Such as lycopene, which combats oxidative stress from intense exercise

4. Affordable & Accessible for Any Training Diet

One of the best things about watermelon? It won’t break the bank. Compared to pricey sports nutrition products, watermelon is affordable and accessible to most everyone. In fact, it’s the most affordable fruits in the produce aisle, ounce for ounce. I love this budget-friendly way to fuel my body with clean, whole-food nutrition. Plus, it’s widely available most of the year-round (plus, you can freeze watermelon juice and/or watermelon chunks in off season), so you can always count on it for pre- or post-workout fuel.

Try these effective core exercises that will strengthen your abs, obliques, back and more. The fun part is using a mini personal watermelon -- and then eating it afterward!

5. Eat It, Drink It—Even Lift It!

Not only can you eat and drink watermelon, but you can also use it as a fun equipment for your workout! A whole watermelon makes a great stand-in for weights—try watermelon fitness doing exercises like squats, Russian twists, or overhead presses for a playful and effective workout (check out this Core Watermelon Workout with a watermelon). Whether you’re fueling up before exercise, recovering after a tough session, or getting creative with your training, watermelon has got you covered.

The Bottom Line: Keep It Simple & Sweet (K-I-S-S)

When choosing workout fuel, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. Watermelon provides natural energy, hydration, and key nutrients—all in one tasty, refreshing package. So, skip the artificial stuff and fuel your fitness journey the simple, sweet way. Hurray, watermelon fuel for workouts!

A Bunch of Banana Tips and Snack Ideas to Sweeten Any Day

Bananas are not just a delicious and versatile fruit; they also have the power to fuel your runs and workouts plus brighten up your day in unexpected ways. Whether you’re a banana lover or just looking for some fun, practical tips, these ideas will bring a smile to your face. Let’s dive into five banana tips that will leave you grinning from ear to ear!

1) Write a Clever Note on the Peel to Make a Banana Lover’s Day

Sometimes, it’s the small gestures that make the biggest impact. Before sending someone off with a banana, why not add a little personalized note right on the peel? Use a pen to gently inscribe a sweet message, or even a funny doodle. Whether it’s a motivational quote, a simple “Have a great day!” or an inside joke, this tiny touch can turn an ordinary snack into a delightful surprise.

Here are some romantic banana-inspired message ideas:

  • I find you a-peeling!
  • Let’s monkey around!
  • I’m bananas for you!
  • Love you a bunch!
  • Let’s never split!

2) Slow Down Ripening with a Simple Trick

Ever bought a bunch of bananas only to watch them go from perfectly ripe to overly brown in what feels like minutes? A simple way to slow down the ripening process is to wrap the stems in plastic food wrap. This trick works by trapping the ethylene gas that bananas naturally release, which is responsible for ripening. If you’re feeling a bit extra, there are even adorable reusable Nana Hats that do the job just as well while adding a fun touch to your fruit display (see my watermelon one in the video).

3) Get Dicey: How to Cut the Perfect Banana Topping for Breakfast: Here’s a morning routine hack for you! Instead of slicing bananas the usual way, try dicing them into small cubes, while still in the skin. This cross-hatch dicing technique is perfect for topping your oatmeal, yogurt, or cereal – or to stir into pancake batter. The small pieces are easier to mix in and give you a delightful burst of banana in every bite.

4) Freeze Chocolate-Covered Banana Slices for a Healthy Treat: Craving something sweet but trying to stay on the healthier side? Try slicing up some bananas and dipping them in melted chocolate. Freeze the slices for a few hours, and you’ll have a delicious, guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth. These frozen delights are perfect for a quick snack, dessert, or even as a fun treat to share with friends and family. You can also get creative by adding a sprinkle of sea salt, popped amaranth or quinoa, or chopped nuts before freezing. Check out my Crispy Chocolate Banana Bites recipe.

Treat your sweet tooth to this healthy snack - a sugar-free crispy chocolate inspired by a Nestle Crunch bar, nut butter and banana slices! Prep a batch and store in the freezer. Gluten-free and only 84 cal per piece

5) Create a Peanut Butter Banana Sundae for the Ultimate Banana Snack: Bananas and peanut butter (or other nut and/or seed butters you prefer) are a match made in heaven, and this sundae takes it to the next level. Start by slicing a banana lengthwise and spreading a generous layer of peanut butter on top. Add your favorite toppings—think granola, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey—and you’ve got yourself a smart and satisfying snack. Whether you enjoy it as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a post-workout treat, this peanut butter banana sundae is sure to hit the spot.

Enjoy these banana tips, and don’t forget to share the joy with others! Whether you’re adding a bit of fun to someone’s day or treating yourself to a healthy snack, bananas are here to make life a little sweeter.
