Summer is a time for picnics, cookouts, and outdoor adventures! When paired with fresh produce, this 5-Minute Fruit Dip is a light and healthy snack to fuel your fun and satisfy your sweet tooth!
This post for 5-Minute Poolside Fruit Dip is sponsored by Wasa, but all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that we love!
If you’ve enjoyed fruit dip in the past, then you’ve probably tried those overly sweet versions that are full of things like marshmallow fluff, flavored gelatin, or whipped topping.
Not here! I made it my mission to create an equally tasty and creamy dip with none of the fake stuff!
Instead, my healthier fruit dip is sweetened only with a touch of honey and uses other natural ingredients. It’s a treat that you can enjoy at the pool (in your bathing suit) with no regrets!
Ingredients for Making Yogurt Fruit Dip
- Cream Cheese – I used low fat to make this dip lighter
- Greek Yogurt – use a good quality brand for best results
- Honey – just regular honey or use your favorite
- Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice is best
- Crackers – serve with your favorite crackers I like to use graham crackers or cookies
How to Make this Easy Fruit Dip
- Place cream cheese in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat on low speed until creamy and smooth.
- Slowly add the yogurt and continue to beat until well combined.
- Add honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest; beat until combined and smooth.
- Cover the dip and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Remove from fridge and serve with fruit and crackers for dipping.
What to Serve it With?
I love to serve this fruit dip with berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Fresh berries are best as frozen will be too soft for dipping.
You could also serve fruits such as apples, bananas, orange segments, and melon. The list is endless so choose your favorites and enjoy!
Tip: Why not add your fruit to wooden skewers for serving!
Different Variations to Try
If you’d like to change it up and experiment with different flavors then why not add a splash of your favorite fruit juice?
Orange or pineapple would work really well. You can also finely dice some strawberries and fold them through the fruit dip for an extra fruity kick.
Top Tips for Making the Best Fruit Dip
- Make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps
- Use a good quality yogurt for best results. I use plain and add my own honey and lemon juice.
- I like to refrigerate this dip for a couple of hours so it firms up before serving.
- Bring out of the fridge right before serving.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days, I don’t recommend you freeze this as the texture will change and lose its creaminess.

Awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by, Stephanie!
I just need to tell you how much I enjoy our blog and recipe posts. I’m trying two of your recipes tonight – pineapple chicken casserole and the dijon mustard chicken casserole. Great job and thanks for continuing with me on my path to health. ????
Erin! You are so kind! Thank you SO much for your sweet note and for reading along with us. I’m glad that you enjoy the recipes!!
My favorite summer snack is carrot sticks with Ranch dressing for dipping.
That’s a great one, Audrey!
My favorite summer snacks are watermelon and berries. Although I don’t have little ones at home anymore, I enjoy reading your blog and recipes.
Thank you, Joanne! I love your emails and comments, and I appreciate your support!

This is a dip my family might really try and like. I’ll give it a go! Thanks!
Yum. Super easy and kid and pool friendly!
Hey Blair
Thank you for so many great recipes. My oldest son and his partner are super healthy eaters, and my youngest son and his new family are looking for healthier eating habits. I have shared some of these with them, and they love them. Thank you for sharing!
What a great recipe. I know we would love to go anywhere this year but I think our biggest adventure is going to the different National Parks close to home and finding the waterfalls!
I will definitely be making this as soon as possible! My kids will love it!
I love fruit dip! Thanks for the guilt free recipe.
What a great and healthy summertime snack. Will make it this weekend. Thank you!!!
How refreshing!! Can’t wait to try it this weekend!!
My son, who is turning 33, is having a BBQ at his new home. There will be people of all ages and I know this will be a hit. I can’t wait to make it. Just might whip up a batch to try ahead of time. Thank you so much for sharing.
Sounds perfect, Gloria! Have fun!!!
The fruit and dip looks wonderful, and refreshing for this season. I will be checking out the Wasa products as well. Because of health issues I have to make what carbs I am allowed healthy and enjoyable.
Oh, you’ll really like them, Lynn! They’re perfect for a special diet because they’re satisfying, thick, crunchy, and simple. No funky ingredients, which also means that they’re versatile and go with all different types of dips and toppings!
I’m really enjoying your recipes they all seem simple enough. I’ve made the aloha chicken so far and it was great and I’ll be making the chicken and cheese one tomorrow. I recently got married and have four bonus daughters; your recipes allow me to expand my menu and they’ve been winners thus far. Thank you!
Hi, Brandi! That’s wonderful! I’m so glad that my recipes have made life in your kitchen a little bit easier. 🙂 Those are 4 very lucky bonus daughters!
Thanks Blair! I’m always looking for something yummy to take to the pool or even into work! Can’t wait to try this!

Hi, Jody! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂
I love Wasa crackers, my family and I have been eating them for years. I really love your idea of serving the crackers along side fresh fruit and your delicious fruit dip! Wonderful idea!!
Aren’t the Wasa crackers great? They’ve been a staple in my kitchen for years, too!

Oops frozen
Never seen Wasa Crackers but I’m can’t wait to try them & your fruit dip
Thanks, Deborah! Check out the cracker section at your grocery store — I bet they’re there! 🙂
I love to make fresh fruit pops to keep cool during the summer. We usually rent a house with the entire family joining us and they can be made in a snap.
Nice! Fruit pops are a classic at this time of year, Linda! 🙂
Looks good! I can’t wait to make it and serve to my kids.
Thanks these sound like a great idea! Time to take the kids to the pool.
This is not only easy to take with us, but also just to have handy so the kids can grab it out of the fridge whenever they need a little snack in the midst of their busy days.
Blair, I love your tips and meals. Since discovering your blog a few months ago it has truly made a difference in my kitchen!!
That’s wonderful, Britney! Thank you so much for your kind note! I’m so glad that the blog has been helpful for you. That’s my goal! 🙂
I can’t wait to try this with my son! I’ve been looking for something with protein to add to his fruit snacks!!
I’m so happy for watermelon season!
That would be a perfect birthday present for me!
I’ve never eaten Wasa crackers. I can’t wait to try them and this fruit dip. They both sound delicious.
Wow! Nashville would be an amazing trip! This summer we re headed down the Oregon coast a little. I want to bring my son to see the Prehistoric Gardens, he’s going to freak! 🙂
I will definitely be trying this dip for my little lady to enjoy pool-side this summer! Thanks!
I love watermelon in summer
Never tried Wasa Crackers. Will look them up.
Summer is my favorite time of year, there’s all kinds of festivals and outdoor concerts to attend. This year besides going to some of those, I have a wedding and my 35th High School reunion to look forward to in July.
I can’t wait to try this recipe with my family. My kids will love it!
I love a good fruit dip. This one sounds really good and I can’t wait to try it. So glad it has healthier options in it than the one I’ve been making. Thanks so much for sharing it.
My favorite summertime snack is fresh fruit with cheddar cheese and crackers. I also like homemade ice pops, made with fruit and yogurt.
I have not tried Wasa crackers yet but this dip sounds so yummy! I laughed at your drowning risk comment because I’m living in that stage at the moment with 3 kids under 5! So we will have to try this dip while we are splashing in the kiddie pool this summer! Looking forward to more yumminess! Thank you for all you do! We had Aunt Bee’s chicken cacciatore tonight and it was delicious!!
Oh, I’ve definitely been there with 3 under 5, so hang in there! It does get easier! 🙂
During the summer I always look forward to spending time with my girls. I do want to get more organized and start meal planning.
I love these crackers–we buy them pretty often! This summer is super busy for me! I’ll be in France, Belgium, England and Bulgaria…and Virginia…before the end of the summer! Ahhhh! So fun though! Thanks for the chance and your pool dip looks awesome!
Congrats, Christina! You were selected to be entered into the grand prize giveaway! Good luck!
Yum! That looks like the perfect dip to pair with fresh summer fruit.
Looks like the perfect summer treat
That dip looks perfect. I have been at the pool every day so far this summer. Also, the Wasa crackers look like the best light snack to eat when in the sun. I know I don’t want big meals when the weather is hot.
Exactly, Deanna! I feel the same way — I need something light and satisfying, but not too heavy when I’m outside in the heat. This is the perfect solution. 🙂
We definitely love fruit as snacks! I try to keep a bowl of washed grapes ready to eat and grab. Trying to eat better takes some planning ahead, but I definitely feel better and healthier when I do it!
Everything seems more decadent with served with dip! Looking forward to trying this recipe.
My current favorite summer snack is frozen grapes. They are so delicious and a great way to cool down when it’s hot out. Almost as good as, and definitely healthier than ice cream!
I love having healthy snack options. Great looking recipe!
I was looking for a light dessert to serve my guests tomorrow – this is perfect! Thanks!
This looks like a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth without the guilt!
This might be a good, healthy option when everyone is craving ice cream!
I love dips! This sounds like a good recipe.
