For 1 serving
Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a small bowl, place the plain Greek yogurt.
Sweeten the Yogurt: Add the stevia powder (or liquid drops) and, if using, the vanilla extract to the yogurt.
Combine Thoroughly: Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until the sweetener is fully dissolved and evenly incorporated into the yogurt, ensuring no pockets of unsweetened yogurt remain.
Wash and Prep Toppings: Gently wash the fresh berries under cool water and pat them dry. If using larger berries like strawberries, slice or halve them. Chop the nuts if they are not pre-chopped.
Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the sweetened Greek yogurt into a serving bowl.
Add Toppings: Arrange the prepared fresh berries over the yogurt. Sprinkle the chopped nuts and, if using, chia seeds evenly over the berries.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your high-protein Greek yogurt bowl fresh for the best texture and flavor.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Chill Your Bowl: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your serving bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before assembling.
- 2Batch Prep Toppings: Wash and chop a larger batch of berries and nuts at the beginning of the week to make daily assembly even quicker.
- 3Adjust Sweetness: Start with a small amount of stevia and taste, adding more gradually until you reach your desired level of sweetness, as stevia's potency can vary.
- 4Texture Contrast: Don't skip the nuts or seeds; they provide a crucial textural contrast to the creamy yogurt and soft berries.
