½ cup | Frozen (thawed) strawberries also work |
| Honey or maple syrup (optional) | 1 teaspoon | Adjust to taste; omit if fruit is sweet enough |
| Ground cinnamon (optional) | A pinch | Adds subtle warmth and depth |
| Toppings (optional) | As desired | Try granola, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of whipped cream |
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and sliced strawberries. For a more textured and flavorful 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
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. A pinch of ground cinnamon adds 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 with your favorite extras — 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 immediately while the strawberries are fresh and vibrant.
