Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen berries (unsweetened)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)

Method

  1. Combine the frozen berries and lime juice in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook until a sauce forms and thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Divide the yogurt into four serving bowls.
  6. Top each serving of yogurt with a quarter of the sauce (about ⅓ cup).
  7. Serve immediately, or chill before serving.

Try swapping vanilla Greek yogurt for the plain Greek yogurt or adding ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract to the plain Greek yogurt. If using fresh berries, add ½ cup water to saucepan in step 1. Substitute lemon or orange juice for the lime juice for a different flavor combination if desired. If more sweetness is desired, add up to 2 teaspoons of sweetener (e.g. honey, sugar, agave, stevia) to the berry sauce. Garnish with slivered almonds or chopped nuts if desired.
