Whether you’re prepping supper for guests or packing a quick lunch, a proper dessert can perfectly complete the ensemble.
Fruit makes a delicious dessert, but you know what levels it up? Fruit dip that is rich, chocolatey, and creamy in which to dip said fruit.
But before you reach for some mass-produced concoction full of unhealthy fats and high fructose corn syrup, we’ve got a sweet dip solution that’s not only rich and delicious but healthy enough to serve guilt-free to your kids, family, guests—or yourself!
The Fruit Dip to Top All Fruit Dipping:
A closer look at our incredibly delicious dip!
HOPE Chocolate Cashew & Almond Dip is a luscious, light-textured sweet fruit dip made from premium natural ingredients. This means that its bold dark chocolate flavor derives from healthy sources: real cocoa powder and omega-3 fats from nuts, sweetened with cane sugar and agave syrup, and touched by hints of vanilla extract and sea salt. Truly, this small-batch sweet dip sets a new standard for dessert.
Skeptical? Read on for a side-by-side comparison that you’ve got to see to believe.
Sweet Dips Showdown: Nutella vs. HOPE Chocolate Cashew & Almond Dip
It’s impossible to have a meaningful conversation about fruit dip and sweet dips without considering Nutella, a popular chocolate and hazelnut dip that has gained popularity worldwide. However, it has also gained notoriety worldwide, because Nutella is NOT healthy. The Nutella label says it all: sugar accounts for over 50% of Nutella by weight, and the next most prevalent ingredient is palm oil! As you can guess, your friendly nutritionist isn’t recommending Nutella for your daily dessert option. No amount of fruit will make up for how unhealthy it is.
So while we wanted our small-batch fruit dip to be even richer and more chocolatey than Nutella, we obviously wanted it to be healthier. You can judge for yourself on the flavor—but when it comes to nutrition, the following comparison chart proves that we definitely hit our mark!
| 2 TBSP SERVING OF NUTELLA | 2 TBSP SERVING OF HOPE CASHEW & ALMOND CHOCOLATE DIP | |
| CALORIES | 200 | 80 |
| SUGAR (G) | 21 | 4 |
| SATURATED FAT | 4 | 1 |
| PROTEIN | 2 | 2 |
| CARBOHYDRATES | 22 | 7 |
| INGREDIENT LABEL | SUGAR, PALM OIL, HAZELNUTS, SKIM MILK, COCOA, SOY LECITHIN AS EMULSIFIER, VANILLIN: AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR. | WATER, CASHEW BUTTER, ROASTED ALMONDS, CANE SUGAR*, SUNFLOWER OIL*, COCOA POWDER*, AGAVE NECTAR*, XANTHAN GUM, VANILLA FLAVOR*, SEA SALT, CITRIC ACID. * ORGANIC |
Yes, you’re reading this right, For the same 2-tablespoon serving size, HOPE Chocolate Cashew & Almond Dip contains 60% fewer calories than Nutella. 80% less sugar. 75% less fat. 30% fewer carbs. And the nuts in our fruit dip are at the top of our ingredient list, where they belong!
Finally, a sweet dip that your conscience will approve of! Full of rich chocolate flavor and nutrients you can be proud of, this nutty & chocolatey fruit dip (and it isn’t just for fruit dipping – it’s great on so many things) is the perfect treat to send to school with your kids, serve for your guests, or take to work with you. (However, if you do take it to work, you’re gonna have to hide it in the fridge… this sweet dip disappears fast!!
Okay, I Dig this fruit Dip… How Can I Eat It??
Now that you’ve seen the nutrient profile, it’s time to get some tasty ideas! We find that the dip’s dark chocolate flavor makes it one of the best sweet dips for fruits like bananas, strawberries, or raspberries. For a crunchier treat, try pretzel sticks or cinnamon pita chips. And if we’re being honest, we’ve been known to eat it by the spoonful—it’s that good!
Here are some sweet dip delights that our foodie friends on Instagram have dreamed up:
