Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, high protein, 2% or full-fat)
- 1.5 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional for yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 3 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and the fresh lemon juice. If you're using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them beforehand.
Step 2
Cook the berry mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the compote thickens slightly. Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the berries, leaving others whole for texture.
Step 3
Once the compote is ready, take it off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. The chia seeds will help the compote thicken further as it sets.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and the optional vanilla extract. Sweeten with the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, adjusting to taste.
Step 5
To assemble, divide the sweetened yogurt evenly between two bowls or glasses. Spoon the cooled berry compote on top of the yogurt.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a make-ahead snack or breakfast.
