Health Benefits of Strawberries and Yogurt
- Strawberries are rich in vitamin C & antioxidants: support immunity and skin health.
- Probiotics in yogurt promote gut health and digestion.
- Yogurt is a good source of protein that helps you feel full and energized longer.
- Provide balanced nutrients such as live active cultures, protein, vitamins, and minerals in one easy recipe.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries: chopped. Frozen strawberries can also work if fresh aren't in season, just thaw them first.
- Plain yogurt: I prefer Greek yogurt for its creaminess and higher protein content, but any plain yogurt works. You can use whole milk for richness or low-fat for a lighter version.
- Agave syrup: You can easily swap it with maple syrup for a deeper flavor or honey.
- Vanilla extract: A small splash enhances the flavor and makes the yogurt taste like a treat.
- Optional toppings: Add crunch and variety with granola, healthy fats with nuts, or extra nutrients with fresh fruit on top. These also make the yogurt feel more like a complete meal.

How to Make Strawberry Yogurt
- Step 1: Prep the strawberries. Wash thoroughly, remove the green stems, and chop into small pieces. Place in a large bowl.
- Step 2: Sweeten and flavor. Add 2 tablespoons of agave syrup and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. For easier blending, you can add a splash of water.
- Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend on low speed until smooth, or leave a few chunks if you like a bit of texture.
- Step 4: Place plain yogurt (regular or Greek style) into a large mixing bowl.
- Step 5: Pour the strawberry mixture into the yogurt.
- Step 6: Stir until fully incorporated. Adjust sweetness with more agave syrup if needed.
- Step 7: Divide the yogurt into bowls or glasses. Top with granola, chopped nuts, or extra fresh fruit for added crunch and flavor.
Quick Tip
Make the strawberry purée ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. When you're ready, simply stir it into yogurt for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast. Any leftover purée also makes a delicious syrup for my Almond Flour Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache.
Storage
- Keep your strawberry yogurt in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving since natural separation may occur.
- For a thicker, chilled texture, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before eating.
- Freezing tip: While not ideal for thawing and eating as regular yogurt, you can freeze it in popsicle molds or ice cube trays for a fun frozen yogurt treat. Craving more frozen treats? Check out my Creamy Chocolate Banana & Raspberry Popsicles or my Chocolate-Covered Banana Pops with Nuts!
Top Tip
I used an immersion blender to make the strawberry purée, but you can also use a food processor, regular blender, or smoothie maker.
