Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt full-fat or plant-based alternative
  • ½ cup fresh berries blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berries
  • 2 tablespoons toasted nuts almonds, pumpkin seeds, or your choice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon citrus zest lemon or orange, organic preferred
  • few small leaves fresh herbs mint, basil, or your choice

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Microplane
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Scoop the Greek yogurt into a clean serving bowl, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon to create a gentle mound.
  2. Wash the berries thoroughly and gently pat them dry. If using strawberries, slice them into halves or quarters for more visual appeal.
  3. Scatter the berries evenly over the yogurt, creating a colorful, juicy crown that bursts with color and aroma.
  4. In a dry skillet, toast the nuts over medium heat until fragrant and golden, about 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Once toasted, transfer the nuts to a plate and let them cool slightly before roughly chopping or leaving whole for added crunch.
  6. Sprinkle the toasted nuts evenly over the berries, adding a satisfying crunch and nutty aroma to the bowl.
  7. Zest a small amount of citrus directly over the toppings using a microplane, releasing fragrant oils that brighten the dish.
  8. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the entire bowl, adding a touch of floral sweetness that balances tartness and enhances flavors.
  9. Garnish with a few small leaves of fresh herbs to add a subtle aroma and a fresh, herbal note that complements the sweetness and tartness.
  10. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy yogurt, juicy berries, crunchy nuts, and fragrant herbs, or refrigerate for up to an hour, adding the herbs just before eating.

Notes

Feel free to swap ingredients based on season or preference—try different berries, nuts, or herbs for variety. Keep toppings separate if preparing in advance to maintain freshness and crunch.
