Ingredients
- Nonfat Greek yogurt 1 cup
- Mixed berries 1/2 cup
- Chia seeds 1 tablespoon
- Honey 1 teaspoon
Method
-
Prepare the berries.
Wash the mixed berries gently under cold running water. If using strawberries, remove the green stems and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. Pat the berries dry with a paper towel to remove excess water.
Tip: Dry berries help prevent the yogurt from becoming watery. -
Add Greek yogurt to a bowl.
Spoon 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt into a serving bowl or glass. Smooth the surface gently with the back of the spoon.
Tip: Greek yogurt is thick and creamy, which creates a nice base for the toppings. -
Add the berries on top.
Evenly distribute the prepared mixed berries over the yogurt. This adds natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Tip: Arrange the berries evenly for a beautiful presentation. -
Sprinkle chia seeds.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds evenly over the berries and yogurt. Chia seeds add a pleasant crunch and boost fiber and omega-3 content.
Tip: If you prefer softer chia seeds, you can soak them in a little water for 10 minutes before adding. -
Drizzle honey.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the top to add a touch of natural sweetness. Adjust the amount if you prefer less or more sweetness.
Tip: Use raw or organic honey for best flavor and health benefits.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
