Step 1: Mix the Base
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and sliced strawberries. For a more textured result, gently mash a few of the berries with a fork — this releases their juices and creates a creamy, fruit-streaked blend.
Step 2: Customize the Flavor
Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you’d like extra sweetness. A pinch of ground cinnamon lends a cozy, spiced note that pairs beautifully with the berries.
Step 3: Top and Serve
Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl or glass. Top it with your favorite extras — whether it’s a sprinkle of granola, a few crushed walnuts, or a light dollop of whipped cream.
Step 4: Enjoy Fresh
For the best flavor and texture, serve this dessert immediately while the strawberries are fresh and vibrant.
Helpful Tips for the Perfect Strawberry Yogurt Treat
- Use ripe strawberries whenever possible — they’re naturally sweeter and juicier, meaning you may not need added sweetener at all.
- Go dairy-free by substituting with plant-based yogurts such as coconut or almond milk yogurt. Silken tofu blended with a bit of vanilla extract also makes a surprisingly creamy base.
- Make it portable by layering the ingredients in a mason jar — perfect for a picnic or a walk-around-the-garden treat.
- Turn it into a popsicle by blending the mixture and freezing it in molds for a refreshing summer snack that’s perfect on warm afternoons.
- Store smartly: This dessert keeps well in the fridge for up to two days. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container and hold off on adding toppings until you’re ready to serve.
