Wash the strawberries and raspberries. Hull the strawberries and chop them into quarters. Set aside a few whole berries for garnish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
Gently crush the meringue nests into bite-sized pieces using your hands. Be careful not to pulverize them too much; you want some larger chunks for texture.
In a larger serving bowl or individual dessert glasses, start layering the Eton Mess. Begin with a spoonful of the yogurt mixture, followed by a layer of strawberries and raspberries, and some crushed meringue pieces.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a few whole berries on top.
If using, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma.
Chill the dessert for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a fresh tasting experience.
