Key ingredients

  • Yogurt – Although any flavor of yogurt can be used, ideally plain yogurt is best as it doesn’t contain added sugars and you can adjust the sweetness on your own. Greek yogurt will have more protein compared to traditional yogurt made with skim milk. If using vanilla yogurt, you can omit the vanilla extract – unless you want extra vanilla flavor in your Greek yogurt.
  • Cream cheese – Helps soften the tang flavor from the yogurt and adds a hint of cheesecake flavor.
  • Sweetener – To limit the sugars added, use a powdered sugar-free sweetener, honey or even maple syrup.

    • Add in a dollop of jam or jelly. Swirl in a tablespoon or two of berry jam. This can be used as an alternative the the sweetener as well. Stir in a tablespoon or two of peanut butter or almond butter for a peanut butter and jelly dip!
