This light, refreshing breakfast is ideal for anyone aiming to eat clean and lean. Quick to assemble on a busy morning, it combines the natural sweetness of strawberries with creamy Greek-style yoghurt, a hint of cinnamon and a crunchy topping. Activated pecans—nuts soaked in salted water and gently dehydrated—offer improved digestibility and a more satisfying crunch than raw nuts. You can activate nuts at home or purchase them ready-made from health food stores. Once you taste activated nuts, their texture and flavor often make them hard to give up.
Feel free to experiment with toppings: swap pecans for walnuts, pistachios or almonds, or add extra coconut flakes. Adjust the sweetness to your taste with more or less honey.
- 250g punnet of organic strawberries
- 200g natural Greek-style yoghurt
- 1 tsp raw honey
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp activated pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes
- Rinse the strawberries, pat dry and halve them. Place the strawberries in a serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the Greek-style yoghurt with the honey and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.
- Spoon the cinnamon-spiked yoghurt over the strawberries, then scatter the chopped activated pecans and coconut flakes on top.
- If you prefer extra sweetness, drizzle a little more raw honey over the assembled dish. Serve immediately.
Enjoy this simple, nourishing breakfast as a satisfying start to your day or a light dessert. Its balance of fresh fruit, creamy yoghurt and crunchy nuts delivers texture, flavor and a mix of nutrients without fuss.
