What to keep in mind.
8 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the creamiest texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt strained for a few minutes through cheesecloth.
- 2Pat berries completely dry after rinsing to prevent them from bleeding color into the yogurt.
- 3Toast the pistachios in a dry pan for 2 minutes to intensify their nutty flavor before chopping.
- 4Make ahead by portioning yogurt and berries separately, then assemble just before serving to keep nuts crunchy.
- 5If using frozen berries, thaw them first and drain excess liquid to avoid a watery bowl.
- 6Chill your serving bowls in the freezer for 5 minutes for an extra-refreshing breakfast.
- 7Drizzle honey in a thin stream so it disperses evenly rather than pooling in one spot.
- 8Store any leftover assembled bowl in the fridge for up to 2 hours; the berries will soften and nuts lose crunch.

Low-sugar
Swap the honey for a sugar-free syrup or omit it entirely; the natural sweetness of ripe berries is often enough for a lower-sugar option.

Reduce pistachios to 20 g and add 15 g of toasted pumpkin seeds and 10 g of cacao nibs; great for added texture and a slight bitter note.
