Notes
- This recipe is inspired by Dietitian Blair Cooley’s viral protein dunkaroo dip.
- You can substitute the non-fat Greek yogurt with low-fat or whole milk Greek yogurt; lower fat has more protein and fewer calories, while higher fat options offer a creamier texture and less tang.
- Any flavor of protein powder can be used, but vanilla is recommended for versatility. Cake batter or birthday cake flavors make it taste more like the classic dunkaroo.
- Maple syrup is optional for those who prefer less added sugar or if using a sweetened protein powder.
- Nutrition info provided excludes the maple syrup to reflect the base dip.
