A Sweet Surprise at Our Cookout: Creamy Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

A couple of weekends ago, my husband made this for our family cookout. It is a simple but seriously addictive snack: a creamy peanut butter yogurt dip that had us hovering around the fruit tray. It was one of those moments where something so easy turned into my new favorite thing.

He whipped it up in minutes, using honey as the sweetener, and wow, it hit the perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and tangy. We served it with sliced apples, but bananas and pears would be just as delicious. The best part? It’s packed with protein and feels indulgent without being heavy.

Here’s how he made it:

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter (about 95g)
  • 1 container natural Greek yogurt, unsweetened (5.3oz or 150g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (you can also use agave nectar or maple syrup)

Directions

  1. Measure all ingredients into a small bowl.
  2. Fold together with a fork until the mixture loosens up.
  3. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve with fresh fruit or refrigerate for up to five days.

Next time, we’re planning to try it with low-fat yogurt to lighten it up a bit more—though honestly, it’s already a guilt-free treat we’ll be making again and again.

If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing dip that’s easy, wholesome, and totally crave-worthy, this one’s a keeper. Let me know if you try it and what fruit you pair it with!
