Notes
- This recipe is inspired by Dietitian Blair Cooley’s viral protein dip creation.
- Greek yogurt options: Non-fat, low-fat, or whole milk Greek yogurt all work; lower fat has more protein and fewer calories while whole milk provides less tanginess.
- Protein powder flavor: Vanilla is recommended for availability, but cake batter or birthday cake flavors give a nostalgic Dunkaroo taste.
- Maple syrup is optional and only needed if additional sweetness is desired; it can be omitted to reduce added sugars.
