About This Video

In this cooking video, Tia and Dustin help make chocolate protein dip to eat with fruit.

The recipe uses Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and honey. Participants help measure ingredients, add them to a bowl, stir and whisk the mixture until smooth, cut or prepare fruit, portion the dip into small cups, and taste it with apples and mandarin oranges.

The video also talks about using favorite fruits and making the dip smooth by whisking so the powders dissolve. The recipe can be used as a snack, dessert, or a way to make fruit feel a little more special.

This video gives participants a practical cooking activity focused on measuring, mixing, whisking, food preparation, portioning, fruit, snack planning, and growing independence in the kitchen.

How to Use This Video

Use this video as a guided cooking activity for a home routine, day program, small group, or supported kitchen activity.

Caregivers can gather the ingredients and supplies ahead of time, then support participants with measuring, adding ingredients, stirring, whisking, preparing fruit, portioning the dip into cups, and tasting the finished snack.

This recipe is flexible. Caregivers can adjust ingredients based on food preferences, allergies, texture needs, or nutrition goals. Participants can help choose which fruit to use, how much dip to serve, and whether they want apples, oranges, or another favorite fruit.

Because this activity involves dairy, protein powder, sticky honey, measuring, mixing, whisking, fruit preparation, and possible food allergies, caregivers can provide support with setup, hygiene, safe ingredients, knife safety, cleanup, portion size, and storage.

At the end, participants can taste the dip with fruit, talk about which fruit they liked best, and practice using the recipe as a planned snack or dessert.
