Fresh Strawberry Compote Yogurt (Print out)

A refreshing bowl with strawberry compote, Greek yogurt, nuts, and honey for a vibrant, wholesome start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Strawberry Compote

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Yogurt Bowls

05 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
06 - 2 tablespoons honey, plus additional for drizzling
07 - 1/4 cup chopped nuts such as almonds, pistachios, or walnuts
08 - 1/4 cup granola
09 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
02 - Divide Greek yogurt evenly among four serving bowls. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon honey over each portion of yogurt. Spoon the warm or cooled strawberry compote over the yogurt. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and granola. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and an extra drizzle of honey.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The compote comes together in under 10 minutes, making mornings feel less chaotic when you serve something this thoughtful.
  • It tastes indulgent and special while being genuinely good for you, which is the kind of win that feels a bit like cheating.
  • You can make it ahead, so breakfast becomes a matter of assembly rather than rushed cooking.
02 -
  • If your strawberries are particularly watery, let the compote simmer an extra minute or two—this helps it concentrate into something with actual texture rather than just syrup.
  • The contrast between warm compote and cold yogurt is essential to this dish; if you make the compote ahead, you don't need to reheat it, but it's genuinely better slightly warm.
03 -
  • Don't skip the lemon juice—it seems small but it prevents the compote from tasting one-dimensionally sweet and adds brightness that your palate will notice even if you can't quite name it.
  • Use the best quality honey you can find; since it's such a prominent flavor, it's one of those ingredients where quality genuinely translates to taste.
