Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your dried apricots are not soft, rehydrate them by soaking them in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. Once softened, drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the dried apricots into small bite-sized pieces. You can use a knife or kitchen scissors for this step to ensure even pieces which will mix well with the yogurt.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the Greek yogurt.
- Fold the chopped apricots into the yogurt, gently mixing until the apricots are evenly distributed. Make sure you blend well, so every spoonful has a bit of apricot.
- For an extra touch, top with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of granola, or a handful of nuts to add some crunch.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled, refreshing snack.
- This simple yet delicious snack makes for a great breakfast, a satisfying afternoon treat, or a healthy dessert.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality Greek yogurt without added sugars or artificial flavors for the best taste and health benefits.
- If the dried apricots are too hard, consider soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them before adding them to the yogurt.
- For added texture and flavor, you can top your yogurt with some nuts like almonds or walnuts.
- A drizzle of honey can add extra sweetness if desired, but it's optional given the natural sweetness of the apricots.
- Feel free to experiment with additional toppings such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or fresh fruit for an extra nutritional boost.
