Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (raw or wildflower)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • ½ medium banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons almonds or walnuts, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spoon 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl. The yogurt should be cold but not frozen.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the yogurt. Adjust sweetness to taste, starting with ½ tablespoon if preferred.
  3. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds and 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds into the bowl and mix.
  5. Slice half of a medium banana and rinse ½ cup (75 g) of fresh berries. Pat dry.
  6. Arrange the banana slices and berries on top of the yogurt mixture without stirring them in.
  7. Chop 2 tablespoons of almonds or walnuts roughly and scatter over the fruit.
  8. Taste and add extra honey or cinnamon if desired.
  9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. If prepping ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours, adding nuts just before serving.

Notes

Use good-quality Greek yogurt for best texture. Add nuts just before serving to keep crunch. If yogurt is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons milk or almond milk. Layer ingredients instead of mixing all together to keep texture distinct. Can substitute coconut yogurt and maple syrup for vegan version.
