Healthy Chocolate and Strawberries

Indulge in a delicious and nutritious treat with this recipe for healthy chocolate and strawberries. Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without any guilt!

My girlfriend is always saying that she needs to stop eating my treats because I’m always having her try my “experiments”. The other day I was thinking of making a fruit and dip experiment as a healthier treat for her. I was trying to think of something to do with Nutella and strawberries…stuff them, mix it with cool whip, etc, but nothing seemed right.

We had a little vanilla greek yogurt, so I tried swirling a little with the Nutella. Healthy Chocolate and Strawberries was born! It’s fresh and delicious, and much healthier than your typical dip. In fact, one little Chobani Greek yogurt has 16g of protein. Much better for you than chocolate sauce, wouldn’t you say?

So, we concluded that this is the perfect after school snack, fruit and dip for a party, or a late night treat. It tastes like chocolate covered strawberries but with less work and they are fresh, healthy and delicious.

Ingredients for Healthy Chocolate Dip Recipe

You only need 2 ingredients for this healthy chocolate fruit dip! It’s so simple, the kiddos could even make it on their own. Here is what you need:

• Vanilla Greek Yogurt: choose your favorite brand, we prefer Chobani
• Nutella: you can buy large jars at Costco for a great price

You can scale this recipe up for larger gatherings or make a single serving for a quick healthy snack. Using Nutella for the chocolate flavor is so tasty! No cocoa powder needed, which means it is plenty sweet with the vanilla yogurt and Nutella combined.

What to Serve with Chocolate Yogurt Dip

I am a total sucker for all things strawberry! You all know that my favorite dessert of all time is strawberry shortcake, so I always default to strawberries or anything berry.

But you don’t have to stop at just strawberries with this chocolate yogurt dip. This a list of great options for dipping in this yogurt Nutella dip:

• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Bananas
• Apples
• Pretzels
• Nilla Wafers
• Graham Crackers

NOTE: If you like a little texture in your chocolate fruit dip, toss a few mini chocolate chips in it.

Variation for Chocolate Fruit Dip

So hear me out…this makes a fabulous dip for fruit or other treats, but since we are using yogurt as the base for the dip, we could also use it in a yogurt parfait. Spoon some Nutella yogurt into a small glass, add some sliced strawberries or other fresh berries, a scoop of granola, and another layer of yogurt. Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes or more granola and you have another great treat.

What is the Difference Between Greek and Regular Yogurt?

Greek yogurt is strained 3 times to remove most of the liquid. This makes Greek yogurt thicker and creamier.

Because Greek yogurt is strained, it is more concentrated and has a stronger flavor and contains more protein.

Are Strawberries Good For You?

Strawberries are very good for you. Strawberries are packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants.

They are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food.

How Do You Store Fresh Strawberries?

The best way to store fresh strawberries, for the longest shelf life is in the refrigerator.

You should not wash strawberries before you are ready to eat them. Moisture from washing strawberries will hasten the growth of mold.

Remove the strawberries from the container and sort out any bruised or moldy berries. Line the container with a paper towel, put the strawberries back in the container and refrigerate.

Wash the strawberries just before serving them.

How to Store Chocolate Yogurt Dip

Chocolate yogurt dip should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and it will keep for up to 5 days.
