Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain unsweetened yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1 cup Mixed fresh or frozen berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for thickening the berry sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries and water. If using fresh berries, rinse them before adding to the pan.
2. Heat the berries over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices (about 4-5 minutes).
3. Use a fork or the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the berries, leaving a few whole for texture.
4. Stir in the chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the sauce.
5. Divide the plain unsweetened yogurt into two bowls or glasses.
6. Spoon the berry sauce evenly over the yogurt in each serving dish.
7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enjoy later. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh berries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.
