Cherry Limeade Fruit Dip

Raising humans is a funny job. What’s funny to me is how much my children learn from me without me ever sitting down to teach them. After coloring eggs this past Easter my 6-year-old wanted to take a picture of his creation. I gave him my camera and thought to myself, “Aww isn’t that cute?!” The next thing I know he’s styling his shot next to our largest window to get better light just like he sees me do.
My toddler has now proclaimed that he is a “cooker.” He tells us to refer to him as The Cooker. Every morning he gathers bowls and spoons and random toys and gets to cooking. Most recently he made a pretend cake. Well, when his brother sneakily pretend-ate his Pretend Cake the whole neighborhood heard about it. You just don’t pretend-eat someone’s Pretend Cake unless you are invited. Besides, the cake wasn’t even finished- it still needed SPRINKLES! How infuriating! So what is a big brother to do? Thinking quickly, he opened his mouth and pretend-gave-it-back. Kids are gross. They did not get that from me.
Since I’m in this business of raising kids it’s my job to feed them and make sure that they eat more than popsicles and dry cereal (the 2 most requested foods at my house). My youngest {The Cooker} is turning his nose up at almost anything that has protein in it right now so I have to be sneaky. I filled this Cherry Limeade Fruit dip with Greek yogurt and a scoop of protein powder. Visalus sent me some Vi-Shape Shake Mix. The flavor is Sweet Cream and they say it’s “the shake mix that tastes like cake mix.” I’ll take it!
This dip tastes like summer. It is sweet and tart at the same time and perfect for dipping fruit, graham crackers, or even salty pretzel sticks. If you like Sonic Cherry Limeade (or you are mildly obsessed with it as I am) then you should give this dip a try.

I had forgotten how much I love your posts…I wasn’t receiving them in my feed on FB, but I have fixed that now! Thank you for a great read every time!
Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe ! I am always looking for great ways to use my Vi-Shape sweet cream protein mix. It looks so refreshing and another way to get extra protein to all the older kids in my family!!
AWW! Your little “The Cooker” is killing me! That is adorable. So so so cute.
And this sounds fun! I wish I would have thought of this at some point over the past two weeks. I had several kilos of cherries I needed to get rid of. And of course, I finished them off yesterday. Boooo. That’s what I get for not keeping up with blog reading!
Your kids sounds so funny 🙂 I love it! This sounds wonderful!
I’ve been a follower for some time but never comment. Today I’ve decided to crawl out of my introvert bubble. 🙂
I’m going to try this dip. My kids love all kinds of crackers but deeps make them so much better. Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing:) I love it!
This is so creative, Katrina!
I love any fun recipe that includes protein powder!
Love the added protein powder in the dip!! So brilliant!!
I’m always trying to bump up the protein in my kids’ food! ha ha
I am in love with this dip! And the protein mix – perfect!
Thanks Dorothy! It was a delicious dip. I hope you get a chance to try it!
Ah man this sounds like an awesome dip!! Will you come over and make it for me?? 😉 Ill share my donuts!
Deal.
I love dry cereal and popsicles, but it’s nice to have real food time and again. 🙂 I love this summery dip! I could eat dip all day long. And I type this as I polish off some guacamole. 😉
I could actually live off of guacamole. I should try that sometime 😉
Love this! Want to make soon 🙂
Great! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by!
What an awesome idea for an easy, sweet summer dip! This looks so delicious, Katrina!
Thank you! Totally refreshing for Summertime.
This is so fun. I love dip of any kind and I love how creative this one is!
I’m a dipper too. Thanks Cassie!
it’s always funny what kids pick up from us without us really trying – just mimicking what they see.
It’s shocking at times!
Hope the cooker was able to fix his “cake” haha. This dip, oh this dip! I would love to snack on this on our patio!
Yeah he’s pretty talented to “fix” a cake that has already been eaten 😉 I hope you’ll give the dip a try!
I have a “Cooker” too, though she’s a bit older now. She does enjoy photographing her p&j’s though! 🙂
I’m also obsessed with Sonic’s limeades, so I’ll totally be trying this!
I haven’t started my Sonic runs for the summer. Once I start stopping by there it becomes…obsessive.
What an inventive dip, I love it!
Thank you so much Angie!
