Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or nonfat regular yogurt for a looser texture)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for a hint of warmth)
  • 1–2 drops liquid stevia or a tiny pinch of monk fruit sweetener (optional; adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional; adds fiber and texture with minimal calories)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional; adds warmth without extra calories)

Method
 

  1. Prep the berries. Rinse your berries under cool water and pat them dry. Hull and slice strawberries if using. Keep blueberries and raspberries whole to maintain texture.
  2. Make the creamy base. In a small bowl, stir the yogurt with lemon juice and vanilla. Taste and, if you like, add stevia or monk fruit. Keep it light—berries already bring sweetness.
  3. Layer it up. Spoon the yogurt into a serving bowl. Top with your mixed berries in an even layer so every bite has a little of everything.
  4. Add texture. Sprinkle chia seeds across the top. They’ll add gentle crunch now and a slight gel if the bowl sits for a few minutes.
  5. Finish with spice. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon. It pairs especially well with strawberries and blueberries.
  6. Serve right away. This is best fresh. If you prefer a chilled bowl, pop it in the fridge for 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
