What you will need
Unsweetened Dairy Free Yogurt – I prefer to use a plain yogurt to avoid added sugars. You can substitute with a dairy based yogurt if you can eat dairy. Greek yogurt has a higher protein content than other yogurts so this kind would be great!
Vanilla Protein Powder – I love using the plant based vanilla protein powder by Truvani but you can always use your favorite protein brand too.
Collagen Peptides – Combining the protein powder with collagen helps keep the texture from being too chalky and adds protein and hair, ski, and nails support!
Maple Syrup – You can substitute with honey or even monk fruit for a low sugar option.
Vanilla Extract – This adds a good vanilla flavor to the yogurt dip.
Almond Extract – This really gives the dip a nice birthday cake flavor along with the vanilla extract.
Natural Rainbow Sprinkles – I believe sprinkles are essential when it comes to any birthday cake recipe! I use artificial dye free sprinkles as well which is important to avoid harmful dyes.
How to make the protein birthday cake dip
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to enjoy, top with more rainbow sprinkles and pair with fresh fruit, cookies, or pretzels.
Notes: Enjoy the dip within 5 days of making for best taste and texture! The rainbow sprinkles will bleed their color into the yogurt the longer it sets so it might look like a unicorn dips after a while but it doesn’t affect the flavor.
