Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 1 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol or Stevia (granulated, low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, erythritol (or sweetener of choice), and lemon juice.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the strawberries begin to break down and release their juices.
Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the strawberries while cooking to create a chunky sauce. If you'd prefer a smoother consistency, blend the mixture using an immersion blender.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If using, mix in the chia seeds to thicken the sauce naturally as it cools.
Allow the fruit sauce to cool to room temperature before topping the yogurt.
Spoon the unsweetened full-fat Greek yogurt into a serving bowl and pour the cooled fruit sauce over the top.
Give it a gentle swirl to combine, if desired, and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a few additional fresh strawberry slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds for decoration.
