Skinny Fruit and Yogurt Salad

A refreshing skinny fruit & yogurt salad with fresh fruit and creamy Greek yogurt—perfect for brunch or snacks.

Hey friends — Gale here! If you’ve been craving something light, fresh, and naturally sweet, this skinny fruit and yogurt salad needs to be in your rotation ASAP. I make a ton of healthy fruit salads, and trust me, not all of them hit the mark. Some are too soggy, too sugary, or just… meh. But this low-calorie fruit salad with Greek yogurt is bright, creamy, and full of juicy crunch. The high-protein yogurt dressing, the fresh lemon, the touch of honey—all of it turns a bowl of fruit into a refreshing, healthy breakfast, snack, or side dish you can feel great about.

I knew this creamy yogurt fruit salad was a keeper the moment I brought it to a summer brunch potluck. Y’all, the bowl didn’t just come back empty—it was practically scraped clean. The best part? You can customize it endlessly with your favorite healthy fruits. Whether you’re looking for an easy yogurt fruit salad for meal prep, a gluten-free side dish for brunch, or a naturally sweet treat for kids, this recipe will absolutely deliver.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s everything you need to whip up this low-calorie fruit salad:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain, fat-free
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 pears, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 2 apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 cup seedless grapes, sliced in half lengthwise
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup celery, diced

Optional Healthy Swaps

• Swap honey for maple syrup or agave for a lighter sweetness.
• Use vanilla Greek yogurt for extra flavor without much extra sugar.
• Add chia seeds or hemp seeds for extra fiber and protein.
• For a lower-sugar version, skip the dried fruit or use unsweetened dried cranberries.

4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. For the freshest texture, enjoy within 1–2 hours of assembling.

Q&A: Fruit and Yogurt Salad

How many calories and macros per serving?
About 136 calories, 33g carbs, 4g fiber, and 3g protein per 1-cup serving.

Can I prep this ahead or bring it to potlucks?
Definitely! Make the dressing ahead and store it separately. Toss right before serving so the fruit stays crisp. To prevent apples from browning, toss them in a bit of lemon juice first.

What fruit substitutions or additions work?
Pretty much anything! Try blueberries, peaches, mango, pineapple, raspberries, kiwi, or nectarines. Swap raisins for dried cherries, chopped apricots, or dates. Stick to sturdy, fresh fruit that won’t get mushy.

Is this recipe gluten-free or vegetarian?
Yep—naturally gluten-free and fully vegetarian.

Will the yogurt dressing make the fruit soggy?
Only if it sits too long. Mix it shortly before serving for the best texture.

How long will leftovers last?
About 1–2 days in the fridge. Stir before eating.
