Gloriously creamy and deceptively simple. On non-fast days, use half crème fraîche and half yoghurt to make it even creamier. 

SERVES 4

PREP 10 mins

PER SERVING 212 cals

PROTEIN 8g CARBS 11.5g FAT 14g FIBRE 5g

400g berries (eg hulled strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries – defrosted frozen berries are fine to use)

1 tbsp chia seeds

400g full-fat Greek yoghurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted (around 15g)

  • Tip the berries into a bowl, reserving some for decoration. Mash lightly, stir in the chia seeds and leave to stand for 20 minutes.
  • Combine the yoghurt and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  • Layer the fruit and yoghurt into four glass tumblers. Decorate with the reserved fruit and top with flaked almonds.

COOK’S TIP 

If not eating straight away, cover and keep in the fridge. Top with flaked almonds before serving. Eat within a couple of days.
