Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how simple and wholesome this recipe is. I can prepare it in just a few minutes with no cooking required.

I also appreciate how balanced it feels. The yogurt provides creaminess and protein, the berries add natural sweetness and freshness, and the nuts bring crunch and healthy fats.

I find this dish incredibly versatile. I can change the fruit, swap the nuts, or adjust the sweetness depending on what I have available.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
¼ cup chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans
1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

I start by spooning the yogurt into serving bowls.

I wash and prepare the berries, slicing larger ones like strawberries if needed. I scatter them evenly over the yogurt.

I sprinkle the chopped nuts on top for crunch.

If I want extra sweetness, I drizzle honey or maple syrup over everything. I sometimes stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.

If I’m using chia seeds or flaxseeds, I sprinkle them over the top before serving.

I serve immediately and enjoy while the nuts are still crunchy and the berries are fresh.

Servings and timing

I usually get 2 servings from this recipe.

Prep time: 5–10 minutes
Total time: About 5–10 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add sliced banana or diced apple for extra fruit. When I want a tropical twist, I use mango and coconut flakes.

I also enjoy adding a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness. For added crunch, I replace the nuts with granola.

If I prefer a dairy-free option, I use coconut or almond milk yogurt instead.

storage/reheating

I prefer to assemble this fresh, but I can store the yogurt and toppings separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

If I prepare it ahead of time, I add the nuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.

I do not freeze this dish, as the texture of yogurt and fresh fruit changes after thawing.
