Ingredients
- 2 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds or walnuts (optional, for garnish)
- 3 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, water, and lemon juice. If using honey as a natural sweetener, add it to the mix.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and form a slightly thickened compote. Mash some of the berries gently with the back of a spoon to create a mix of textures.
Step 3
Optional: Stir in the chia seeds to enhance the texture and nutritional content of the compote. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes to thicken further.
Step 4
Divide the plain Greek yogurt evenly between two serving bowls.
Step 5
Spoon the cooled berry compote over the yogurt, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 6
Optional: Sprinkle with slivered almonds or walnuts for a dose of healthy fats, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of freshness.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy treat!
