*stage whisper* (Yes, I know that the name’s not really a Warcraft ability, but it’s so perfect! Shhh, don’t tell Pix!)
When I saw the recipe for this dip from Annie’s Eats, I immediately thought of this comic from Luann. I’ll wait for you to go read it real quick.
Ok, back?
Sometimes getting into the habit of having healthy snacks (such as fruit) is hard, since you can get used to super sugary snacks from a box and in comparison, the natural sugars of fruit might seem a little lackluster. Sometimes you just like to dip your fruit in something sweet! Or perhaps you just wonder what honey yogurt dip might taste like – if any of the above applies to you, read on!
I’ve never had Greek yogurt before, but I’ve seen several “sweet” recipes call for it, since Greek yogurt is supposed to be sweeter than regular yogurt. I was a little worried about finding it in a store here in this small town, but I did manage to find these individual size yogurt cups, so I bet no matter where you live, you can find some as well.
The quantity I will indicate would be appropriate for an individual serving, however it’s no trick to double or triple this to accommodate more people.
Honey Spiced Lichen Dip
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. Greek yogurt
- 6 tsp. honey (local is best!)
- cinnamon to taste
Combine yogurt and honey thoroughly then add cinnamon to taste. Be sure to add a little cinnamon at a time, since too much can easily overpower the honey, which I think is really the star of the dip. Serve with whichever fruit pleases you – I thought the grapes went especially well with this dip.
Enjoy!

This looks great! I’ll scout around to see if I can find some greek yogurt…thank you! <3
This looks awesome. Definitely making this after my next grocery trip. I just happen to have a jar of locally-made honey we bought while on our honeymoon in Pigeon Forge.
Might be a great way to convince my daughter to eat something besides peanut butter, cheese, and bread…
Hmm… Violation of naming conventions… I see.
Anea, could I see you in my office, please?
(All kidding aside, I’m going to have to make some of this myself. Thanks!)
Does it matter what kind of honey? I’ve got orange honey (like orange-blossom) at home but I know that they sell clove etc..
I’m pretty sure that you can use any honey that you choose.
It’s recommended that you use local honey, not only because it helps the farmers in your area, but because it helps you build resistances to pollen allergens where you live, as well.
No, I think that the flavor in the honey wouldn’t make the dip taste odd, but would add an interesting new element to it!
Also, protip – ‘Balkan-style yogurt’ is Greek yogurt. I had to call up Kissless to Google it for me. >_>;
