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.

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.

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!
I love quick and easy sweet juicy healthy treats!!
