Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, rinse, hull, and chop them into quarters. For frozen strawberries, let them defrost slightly before measuring.

    Blend the Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you like some fruit texture, reserve a few strawberry pieces to fold in later.

      Incorporate Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds until well distributed throughout the mixture. If you wish, fold in the reserved strawberry pieces for added texture.

        Pour into a Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish or any container of your choice with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the strawberry yogurt mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.

          Freeze: Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

            Cut into Squares: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or bars.

              Serve: Enjoy immediately, or transfer the squares to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for later. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
