A quick and easy breakfast or snack featuring creamy Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and toasted shredded coconut, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced if large
  • ¼ cup (20 g) unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the shredded coconut in a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty smelling, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Rinse the strawberries under cold water, pat dry, hull, and slice if large. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Stir gently to blend without breaking down the yogurt.
  4. Spoon the sweetened yogurt into a serving bowl. Top evenly with sliced strawberries and sprinkle toasted coconut over the top. Optionally, sprinkle chia seeds for extra texture and fiber.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy, crunchy, and juicy textures.

Notes

Toast the coconut carefully to avoid burning; remove from heat as soon as it turns golden and smells nutty. Assemble just before serving to keep textures fresh. For vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. Store components separately if prepping ahead.
