Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or low-fat if preferred; see Alternatives)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped (plus a few slices for garnish)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance sweetness)
  • Lemon zest from 1/4 lemon (optional, brightens flavor)
  • 4–6 small cups or ramekins (3–4 oz each)

Method
 

  1. Prep the strawberries: Wash, hull, and finely chop the berries. For a smoother texture, mash half of them with a fork to release juices. This helps swirl flavor throughout.
  2. Stir the yogurt base: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. Taste first before adding sweetener. If needed, add 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple, stirring well.
  3. Fold in the berries: Add the chopped and lightly mashed strawberries to the yogurt. Fold gently so you keep some chunks for texture.
  4. Portion into cups: Spoon the mixture into 4–6 small cups or ramekins. Aim for about 1/4–1/3 cup per serving to stay near 100 calories, depending on your sweetener and yogurt choice.
  5. Garnish (optional): Top with a thin strawberry slice or a tiny pinch of lemon zest. It looks pretty and adds a fresh pop.
  6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the texture thicken slightly.
  7. Serve: Enjoy cold. If the mixture separates a bit in the fridge, give it a quick stir before eating.
