Berry Compote & Healthy Yogurt Bowl
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Serves: 4A vibrant mix of fresh berries simmered into a sweet-tart compote, paired with creamy, nutrient-packed yogurt.
Top Tip: Use frozen berries for a good result and maple syrup or honey instead of refined sugar for a more natural dish. You could also buy the granola to save time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornflour (optional, for thickening)
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
For the Yogurt Bowl:
- 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A sprinkle of granola for topping
- Sliced bananas or any preferred fruits
Method
1. In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice over a medium heat.
2. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes until the berries break down and release their juices.
3. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix cornflour with a tablespoon of water and stir it into the berry mixture and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let the compote cool. It will thicken as it cools.
5. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract.
6. Spoon the yogurt mixture into serving bowls.
7. Top the yogurt with a generous spoonful of the homemade berry compote.
8. Add granola for crunch and sliced bananas or your favourite fruits for freshness.
9. Drizzle a bit more honey on top if desired.
