A light and indulgent Greek yogurt bowl featuring fresh strawberries, toasted coconut, and a touch of honey and vanilla, perfect for romantic occasions or a refreshing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (about 150 g or 5.3 oz) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or pistachios)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut: Place 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
  2. Prepare the strawberries: Hull and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Set aside.
  3. Mix the yogurt base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup) and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and evenly blended. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the yogurt mixture into your serving bowl(s). Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries on top.
  5. Add finishing touches: Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the strawberries. If using, add 1 tablespoon chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon lemon zest for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.

Notes

Toast the coconut carefully to avoid burning and remove from heat as soon as it turns golden. Stir yogurt base gently to avoid watery texture. Keep toasted coconut separate if prepping ahead to maintain crunch.
