Hi friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago, we had my parents over for dinner and my mom brought a version of this cream cheese fruit dip for the kids to eat. When I played sports in high school one of the moms always seemed to bring this to our team dinners and it was always a fan favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to see if I could put a bit of a healthier spin on it since my kids enjoyed it so much. So I used low-fat cream cheese, swapped plain Greek yogurt for butter and reduced the sugar and guess what? My kids still gobble it up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is this a fruit dip with marshmallow fluff and yogurt?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although most versions of this dip use cream cheese and marshmallow fluff, this version does not. Marshmallow fluff is a storebought mixture that contains corn syrup, sugar syrup, vanilla and egg whites. It’s basically a spreadable form of marshmallow and while delicious, for this recipe in particular I was looking to add a healthier spin which is why I use yogurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe for Fruit Dip Using Yogurt <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plain Greek yogurt adds some protein to the dip and makes it a little heartier. We mix it with cream cheese to help give the dip a little more body and make it easier to scoop without dripping everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reduces the sugar content of the dip and since you’re dipping it in fruit, which is already sweet, that works out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
