Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt, plain (unsweetened, high-protein)
- 1 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, and lemon juice.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens to a sauce-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
While the fruit sauce is cooling, divide the Greek yogurt evenly between two serving bowls.
Optionally, stir the vanilla extract into the yogurt for added flavor.
Spoon the slightly cooled fruit sauce over the yogurt in each bowl.
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves to enhance presentation and add a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately as a nutritious and high-protein snack or breakfast.
