Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Mixture

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

2. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse a few times instead of blending completely.

3. Set aside or refrigerate while preparing the yogurt layer.

Step 2: Make the Yogurt Layer

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

2. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to reach a creamy consistency.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

1. Option 1 (Layered Dessert):

   • In serving glasses or bowls, spoon a layer of the strawberry mixture.

   • Add a layer of the yogurt mixture on top.

   • Repeat the layers until the glass is filled, ending with a yogurt layer.

   • Swirl gently with a spoon for a marbled effect.

2. Option 2 (Parfait Style):

   • Alternate layers of strawberry mixture, yogurt, and granola for a crunchy texture.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Cover the dessert glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of granola, and mint leaves.
