Helpful Tips for the Perfect Strawberry Yogurt Treat
Choose ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and juiciness — you may not need any added sweetener.
Make it dairy-free with plant-based yogurts such as coconut, almond, or oat. Silken tofu blended with a little vanilla extract also works as a creamy alternative.
Take it to-go by layering the ingredients in a mason jar — perfect for a picnic or a garden stroll.
Make popsicles by blending the yogurt and strawberries together, then freezing the mixture in molds for a refreshing summer snack.
