Light, refreshing, and low in added sugar — perfect for a blood-sugar-friendly treat.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia (to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness & fiber)
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)
  • ¼ tsp lemon zest (optional, brightens flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep strawberries: Wash, hull, and finely chop. Lightly mash half of them to release juices.
  2. Sweeten yogurt: In a bowl, mix yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add fiber (optional): Stir in chia seeds and let sit 5–10 minutes to thicken.
  4. Layer: In serving glasses, alternate yogurt and strawberries.
  5. Top: Sprinkle nuts and a few fresh strawberry pieces on top.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate 20–30 minutes before serving (or enjoy immediately).
