Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced (or raspberries)
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ small peach or nectarine, diced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon
  • Optional: a few pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Stir gently until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and peach. Slice the strawberries and dice the peach into bite-sized pieces. Combine all the fruit in a small bowl (about 5 minutes).
  3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds or chopped walnuts and chia seeds. Stir frequently for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool for a minute.
  4. Add the finely chopped mint leaves and lemon zest to the fruit bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Spoon the yogurt mixture into a serving bowl. Top with the fresh fruit and herb mix, then sprinkle the toasted nuts and seeds over everything. Add a dash of cinnamon or pomegranate seeds if using.
  6. Give it a light stir or leave it layered to enjoy the contrast of creamy and crunchy textures. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes if preferred cooler.

Notes

If yogurt is too thick, loosen with a splash of unsweetened almond milk. Toast nuts and seeds carefully to avoid bitterness. Prepare fruit and nuts the night before for quick assembly in the morning. Swap fruits seasonally or use frozen berries thawed and drained. For dairy-free, use unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt.
