This low sugar peanut butter fruit dip is perfect for after school snacks, and a great way to get more fruit into snack time!
Back to school is going to look a lot different this year for most of us, but regardless of how you’re heading back to school, an after school snack is still a must for most kids! This low sugar peanut butter fruit dip, pairs so well with a variety of fruits and is a great way to get more nutrients into your kids (and yourself)!
How to make healthy fruit dip
One of the biggest problems I have with traditional “fruit dip” recipes is they pack a ton of sugar and not a whole lot of other nutrients we’d want to have in a snack. To make a healthy fruit dip, I focus on making sure the recipe doesn’t have a lot of sugar and has a decent amount of protein or fiber.
Why we love this peanut butter dip
This peanut butter fruit dip has 5g protein per serving as well as 9g of fat. This offers a great balance to fruit, crackers, or any other foods you might dip into it. It’s also super easy to prepare and delicious!
You’ll love this gluten free fruit dip recipe
All you need to do to make this peanut butter fruit dip more allergy friendly is swap the peanut butter for another nut or seed butter. Since, it’s already a gluten free dip, it’s great for lots of different eating patterns.

Hi! This looks delicious, and a nice change from regular peanut butter. I have a latex allergy with a cross-reactivity to coconut. Have you tried another flour with this, or can you recommend one that might work well? I don’t dabble in other flours enough to know. Thank you!
You have a couple options… 1) just leave it out. The coconut flour thickens it up, so if you don’t mind a runnier consistency then the flavor would still be the same… or 2) sub in almond flour but triple the amount that you would have used for coconut flour.
My whole family loves this dip and I always get compliments when I bring it places!
