Equipment
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and teaspoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Before starting, make sure you have all your ingredients measured and ready. You will need 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Having everything prepared ensures a smooth and stress-free cooking experience. Use a medium-sized bowl for mixing, a spoon or spatula for stirring, and a measuring cup and teaspoon for accuracy.
- Prepare the Blueberries: If you’re using fresh blueberries, rinse them gently under cold running water to remove any dust or residue. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to avoid excess moisture in your yogurt. If you are using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw completely unless you prefer a softer texture—frozen berries can be added directly for a refreshing, chilled effect.
- Spoon the Greek Yogurt: Take your medium-sized bowl and scoop 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt into it. Spread it evenly at the bottom of the bowl using your spoon or spatula. Make sure the yogurt forms a smooth, creamy base, which will allow the blueberries and honey to mix evenly in later steps.
- Add the Blueberries: Gently sprinkle 1/2 cup of blueberries over the yogurt. If you like a more vibrant visual, you can scatter some berries on top and some inside the yogurt so every spoonful has a mix of creamy yogurt and juicy berries. Take care not to crush the berries while adding them, so they remain plump and flavorful.
- Drizzle Honey: Take 1 teaspoon of honey and drizzle it evenly over the top of your yogurt and blueberry mixture. Use a circular motion to create a pretty swirl, or simply let it naturally fall across the berries. This small touch adds natural sweetness, balances the tartness of the yogurt, and enhances the flavor profile beautifully.
- Mix Lightly (Optional): If you prefer a more uniform flavor in every bite, use your spoon or spatula to lightly fold the blueberries and honey into the yogurt. Avoid overmixing, as you want the yogurt to remain creamy and the berries to maintain some texture. This step is optional if you prefer layered bites with distinct flavors.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your creation a small taste. If you like it slightly sweeter, you can drizzle a little extra honey. If you want more texture, consider adding a few extra blueberries on top. This step ensures the breakfast or snack is perfectly suited to your preference.
- Serve Immediately: Your Greek Yogurt with Blueberries and Honey is ready to enjoy. Serve it straight from the bowl for a quick breakfast, snack, or light dessert. For an elevated presentation, you can transfer it to a decorative bowl or glass cup. Optional garnishes include a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few chopped nuts, or a few extra fresh berries.
