Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) wildflower honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) lemon zest
  • A few fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons (20 g) of slivered almonds and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the berries: Gently rinse 1 cup (150 g) sliced strawberries and ½ cup (75 g) raspberries under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Mix the yogurt base: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt with 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) honey, ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon (5 g) lemon zest. Stir gently until smooth and well blended. Adjust honey to taste.
  4. Layer the bowl: Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into serving bowls. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds on top.
  5. Add toppings: Arrange the sliced strawberries and raspberries on the yogurt. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and 1 tablespoon (7 g) shredded coconut over the top. Finish with a few fresh mint leaves.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. The chia seeds will thicken the texture slightly if left to sit.

Notes

Let yogurt sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing for extra creaminess. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Swirl honey into yogurt instead of drizzling on top for even sweetness. Layer toppings instead of mixing for visual appeal and texture variety.
