Do I need to heat-treat the cake mix before using it?

Yes. Cake mix contains raw flour, which may carry bacteria. To make this high protein Dunkaroo dip safe, bake the mix at 350°F for 5 minutes or microwave for 1 minute before use.

How much protein is in each serving, and how can I increase it?

Each serving has about 10–12 grams of protein, depending on the brand you use. You can increase it by adding more protein powder or swapping almond yogurt for high-protein Greek yogurt.

What’s the best protein powder for this dip—whey, casein, or plant-based?

Whey creates a smooth and creamy texture, casein makes the dip thicker, and plant-based protein is ideal for dairy-free versions. All are effective—choose based on texture and dietary needs.

How can I make the dip thicker or thinner?

For a thicker cake batter protein dip , use less yogurt or more protein powder. To thin it out, stir in a splash of almond milk or water until you get the desired consistency.

How long does it last in the fridge—and can I freeze it?

This healthy Dunkaroo dip stays fresh in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Freezing isn’t ideal, as the texture may separate when thawed.

Can I make it dairy-free and gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use almond or coconut yogurt, a plant-based protein powder, and gluten-free cake mix to create a fully dairy-free and gluten-free version. Need more ideas? Check out our cottage cheese dessert recipes for similar light treats.
