Ingredients
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • Optional toppings: granola, chopped nuts, chia seeds

Preparing the Berry Compote

In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. This should take about 8-10 minutes. If using frozen berries, you may need to cook a little longer. The compote should thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Assembling the Yogurt Bowl

Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl. Drizzle the warm berry compote over the yogurt. Top with your favorite toppings like granola, chopped nuts, or chia seeds for added texture and nutrients. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast!

Tips and Variations

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
  • Experiment with different types of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the compote for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a smoother compote, use an immersion blender to puree the berries after cooking.
