Mixed Berry Yogurt with Almonds

This is a fast and easy breakfast, snack, or dessert that is high in protein. I typically use a blend of frozen mixed berries, but fresh berries would be an excellent choice as well. You can prepare this ahead of time so breakfast is waiting for you when you open the fridge. For breakfast on the go, layer it in a small mason jar with a lid.

  1. If the mixed berries are frozen, thaw them first by leaving them in a bowl in the fridge or at room temperature until soft, about 2 minutes.

  2. Spoon the nonfat plain Greek yogurt into a serving bowl and smooth the top.

  3. Spoon the thawed mixed berries over the yogurt, spreading them evenly.

  4. Coarsely chop the 10 whole almonds and scatter them over the berries and yogurt.

  5. Serve right away, or cover and chill until ready to eat.
