- Gluten-free and kid-approved
- High-protein and satisfying
- No baking or cooking required
- Thick, creamy Dunkaroo-style texture
- Perfect for snacks, desserts, or parties
Ingredients
Before you get started, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons vanilla pudding powder (dry mix)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional and to taste
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
How to Make High Protein Dunkaroo Dip
To begin, add the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, vanilla pudding powder, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl. Next, stir until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. At this point, the dip should already be thick and frosting-like.
After that, taste the dip and decide if you would like additional sweetness. If so, stir in the maple syrup until fully combined. Finally, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.
Once finished, you can enjoy the dip right away. However, if you prefer an even thicker texture, chilling it for 10 to 15 minutes works beautifully.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
When it comes to planning ahead, this Dunkaroo dip is an excellent option. That said, if you are making it in advance, it is best to wait to add the sprinkles until just before serving. This helps prevent color bleeding and keeps the dip looking fresh and vibrant.
In the meantime, store the dip base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Before serving, simply give it a quick stir and add the sprinkles for that classic Dunkaroo look.
How to Serve Dunkaroo Dip
One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is. For a traditional Dunkaroo-style snack, serve it with gluten-free graham crackers or gluten-free animal crackers. Alternatively, pair it with fresh fruit like apple slices, strawberries, or banana coins for a lighter option.
In addition, this dip is delicious spread on rice cakes or gluten-free toast. As a result, it easily transitions from a fun snack to a more filling, protein-packed option.
Tips and Variations
To customize this recipe even further, try one of these ideas:
- Use dairy-free yogurt, dairy-free pudding mix, and plant-based protein powder for a dairy-free version
- Swap sprinkles for mini chocolate chips
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth
Why This Recipe Works for Gluten-Free Families
Ultimately, this gluten-free high protein Dunkaroo dip delivers both comfort and nourishment. Thanks to the added vanilla pudding powder, the texture and flavor closely resemble the original snack without compromising on ingredients or inclusivity.
