In the past, to me “healthy dip” meant something bland and tasteless. Then, I started experimenting with ingredients and found that Greek yogurt, protein-rich beans, and spices make dips taste even better!

As a professional recipe developer, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve served cottage cheese ranch or Greek yogurt fruit dip at a party and everyone raves! I’ve tested each one of these recipes multiple times so they have that perfect balance between wholesome and delicious. In honor of the Super Bowl coming up, I’ve made a list of my top party-favorite healthy dips that people legitimately love!

Serving Suggestions for Healthy Dips

The right dippers make all the difference with these healthy dips. I’ve found that variety is key when it comes to dippers. For savory dips like the everything bagel, spinach artichoke, and buffalo chicken varieties, try serving with:

The sweet dips pair well with:

  • Apple slices (you can toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning)
  • Strawberries, grapes, and pineapple chunks
  • Pretzels for sweet-salty contrast
  • Banana slices

Make-Ahead Tips & Storage

Many of these dips taste better made in advance and refrigerated, which makes them perfect for meal prep or party planning. The spinach artichoke dip and buffalo chicken dip can both be made in advance and baked the day of.

I typically make savory dips 1 day ahead and store in airtight containers. The ranch dip and everything bagel dip stay fresh for up to 1 week, and bean-based dips like the hummus and refried bean versions keep well for up to 4 days. For the sweet dips, the fruit dip and apple dip both hold up well for 3-4 days.
