If you were to show up at my house each night, you would see that this Clean Eating Chocolate Fruit Dip is my go-to snack before bed.

I rarely tire of eating it.

There is just something about chocolate that ends a day perfectly.

This Clean Eating Chocolate Fruit Dip recipe was born when I was trying to get in shape a few years ago.

My clothes were tight and I knew I was not taking care of myself. It’s embarrassing to admit when most of my friends think I am kind of a health nut.

But nobody is perfect and health journeys are never easy.

Enter: portion control. Why does it have to be so hard?!

I began to realize that I could eat all the healthy, “clean”, nutrient dense food I wanted, but if my body wasn’t burning all that fuel it would find a place to store it.

Let’s just say, my skinny jeans don’t exactly appreciate where my body chooses to store it. 😉

That is when I jumped on the Greek yogurt bandwagon. Do you remember a few years ago, when Greek yogurt was this exciting new health food? It was all the rage and I knew I wanted to try it!

I couldn’t believe how similar it was to sour cream, yet high in protein!

I started to use it as a substitute for oil in baking and subbing it for sour cream in savory dips.

Small bottles of vanilla extract, butter extract, cake batter extract and almond extract.

Then one evening, a light bulb went off.  I wondered if I could create a sweet dip to accompany my all-time favorite snack, a crisp apple.

My original recipe used coconut sugar to sweeten, but I am partial to monk fruit sweetener now. I will be the first to admit, this dip may not be sweet enough for your taste buds. If that is the case, increase the amount of monk fruit sweetener in 1 teaspoon increments until it is the perfect dip for you.

I prefer a slightly richer-tasting dip to balance out the sweetness of the fruit.

Okay, I know you are chomping at the bit to try this incredible Clean Eating Chocolate Fruit Dip recipe so let’s get to it!

  2. This sounds so perfect and I love that you made the recipe for a single serving! That is one of my main problems – portion control. I haven’t made this yet, but I’m going to order coconut sugar so I can try it soon. We live in such a small town, I can’t find it anywhere. Even though I haven’t tried it yet, I’m featuring it as one of my additional features at You Link It, We Make It tomorrow! Pinning and hope to see you back at the party!

    1. I don’t think you will find a lower calorie chocolate dip that still uses whole food ingredients and no weird sugar substitute. Thanks for your kind words, Gayle! I hope you enjoy this yummy dip 🙂

    Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe. Will definitely be pinning! #SundayBlogHop
