Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
To assemble, divide the sweetened yogurt evenly between two bowls or glasses. Spoon the cooled berry compote on top of the yogurt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a make-ahead snack or breakfast.
