Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a plant-based sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice.
Step 2
Heat the fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the fruit breaks down slightly and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
While the fruit sauce cools, divide the Greek yogurt equally into two serving bowls.
Step 4
Once the fruit sauce is slightly cooled but still warm, spoon it evenly over the yogurt in each bowl.
Step 5
Sprinkle chia seeds on top of the fruit sauce for added fiber and omega-3s, if desired.
Step 6
Garnish with sliced almonds and fresh mint leaves for a touch of crunch and color, if using.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to an hour before eating for a colder option.
