A quick, easy, and guilt-free high-protein dip combining creamy Greek yogurt, rich cocoa, and fresh raspberries for a delicious snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries, washed and gently mashed
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey or maple syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) protein powder (optional), vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder to avoid clumps. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and glossy.
  4. If using, fold in protein powder and chia seeds gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Gently mash the fresh raspberries with a fork until slightly broken but still chunky.
  6. Carefully fold the mashed raspberries into the chocolate mixture, preserving some texture. Add a pinch of salt to balance flavors.
  7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix raspberries to keep bursts of tang. If dip is too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of milk or almond milk to loosen. Softening cream cheese is key for smooth texture. Sift cocoa powder to avoid clumps. Fold gently when adding raspberries and protein powder to keep dip light and airy. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor and texture.
