Once your dip is mixed together, you should store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

You can also store smaller amounts in individual serving containers and just pull out one container when you are ready to eat.

Freezing this fruit dip is not a great idea. When it thaws, the dip tends to separate and get runny.

If you include this dip in your weekend meal prep, be sure to use it toward the beginning of the week.
