Sometimes Breakfast: YooBerries

Sometimes a breakfast can be as simple as strawberries and yogurt. In this modern world most of us trying to be fit and fast. But most of the time the cereal breakfast is just daunting and again in the weekdays we don't really have time for a tasty start to the day. It takes 1 minute to put cereal in a bowl and pour the milk in it, and it takes 1.5 minutes to put strawberries and honey to the bowl and process it with the hand blender, put the yogurt on top. Here you go the perfect breakfast you add some healthy cereal or muesli on top if you like which will up to 2 minutes but i promise it would be much tastier than regular cereal breakfast. I used Greek yogurt in this recipe you can either buy one or make your own Greek yogurt as thick as you would like. Mark Bittman beautifully explains (in the video below) how we make Greek yogurt in my family. Actually, our Greek yogurt is called "suzme yogurt", the literal meaning is drained yogurt. In Turkey "suzme yogurt" is very popular and it is rather sour, salty. It makes really good the Turkish yogurt drink so called "ayran". I will put up some delicious ayran recipes soon although most of the foreigners doesnt really enjoy the traditional one which i looveee. Anyways back to the breakfast: you can make your own greek yogurt without using salt and you can use it in this recipe. In that way, at least you can make sure that haven't use excessive amount of thickeners.

Ingredients (makes 1 portion):

1/3 cups of fresh strawberries
1 cup of greek yogurt
2 tbsp honey

1. Put the strawberries in a bowl and add 2 tbsp honey and roughly chop it with a hand blender.
2. Add the yogurt and mix with the spoon.
3. top it with 1 or 2 strawberries.
