Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons almond butter (or alternatively, peanut butter)

A pinch of fine sea salt

Chocolate chips or cacao nibs for an extra garnish

An assortment of fresh fruit and pretzels for dipping

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, start by adding the plain Greek yogurt. Use a whisk to stir the yogurt until it reaches a silky smooth consistency.

    Gradually sprinkle in the unsweetened cocoa powder while whisking continuously. This will help prevent any lumps from forming, resulting in a nice, smooth dip.

      Pour in the honey or maple syrup, and mix thoroughly until the sweetener is completely incorporated into the yogurt mixture.

        Next, add the chocolate protein powder along with the pure vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are well mixed and the batter appears creamy and uniform.

          Carefully fold in the almond butter and a pinch of sea salt. Ensure everything is well blended, creating a luscious brownie batter-style dip.

            Transfer the mousse-like dip to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula for an appealing finish.

              To add a delightful crunch and rich flavor, sprinkle chocolate chips or cacao nibs generously over the top.

                Serve your delectable dip with an array of fresh fruit like berries, banana slices, or apple wedges, alongside crunchy pretzels or your favorite dipping snacks for a fun treat.
