This Greek yogurt cake batter dip is gluten free and delicious! Healthier than cake mix dip and full of protein, this Greek yogurt cake batter dip was a huge hit at my house. I hope your family enjoys it, too!

In addition to using Greek yogurt and leaving out the usual suspect dessert dip ingredients like butter and whipped topping, this cake batter dip has absolutely no cake mix.
Commercial cake mixes are way too sweet for my taste! Instead, I added a moderate level of sweetness and an authentic cake batter taste by using vanilla protein powder.
As some people may already know from previous posts, I prefer plain whey protein, when I use it at all. That having been said, vanilla protein powder is absolutely perfect for this recipe. It's moderately sweet and the flavor is spot on!
If you're like us and don't have a container of it sitting around, check a supplement store or the grocery store for individual serving-sized packages of protein powder. They're pretty easy to find.
Greek Yogurt Cake Batter Dip - No Cake Mix Cake Batter Dip
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt, low fat or full fat (I used 0% Fage in the pictured dip)
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup (2 oz) high-quality cream cheese, at room temperature (I use Organic Valley to support their ethical practices)
- Sprinkles, nonpareils, or other topper (totally optional but fun)
- Fruit, Graham crackers, pretzels, etc for dipping
Instructions
In addition to being awesome with homemade Graham crackers, this protein-packed cake batter dip is also delicious with pretzels, apples, and pretty much anything else you'd dunk in a fruit dip.

Papi Chulo is very clever! 🙂 This does sound yummy though! A healthy dip that tastes sinful - how perfect is that?

It's pretty great! As he was packing some in his lunch he asked "are you judging me for eating all this dip?" and I told him no way - it's full of protein! And with the protein powder we used having only 2 grams of sugar, it's a pretty awesome choice.

well that sounds delicious! I often use yogurt in recipes ... my secret to not only lightening up the recipe, but also the texture. I have a fantastic Cooking Light recipe for Banana bread that I've used for many years now with yogurt and egg whites 🙂

Yes, Greek yogurt makes everything nice and moist, too! I love using it in place of oil in many baked items. Glad I'm not the only one! Some people I know like to tease me about how I put Greek yogurt in everything.
