3 Ingredient Strawberry Yogurt Cups (Healthy & Quick)
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 6 cups
Description
These 3 Ingredient Strawberry Yogurt Cups are a healthy, quick, no-bake snack or light dessert made with juicy strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey or maple syrup. Meal-prep friendly, kid-approved, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
Strawberries, chopped (fresh or thawed frozen): 1 1/2 cups (225 g)
Plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole for best texture): 1 1/2 cups (340 g)
Honey or maple syrup: 2 to 3 tbsp (30 to 45 ml)
Instructions
1. Wash, hull, and chop the strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw completely and drain off excess liquid.
2. Mash the strawberries with a fork until chunky-saucy, or pulse 2 to 3 times in a blender for a thicker puree.
3. In a medium bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup until smooth and evenly sweetened.
4. Layer the yogurt and strawberries into 6 small cups or jars, or swirl together for a pink marbled look.
5. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for the best texture. Serve cold.
Notes
Use thick Greek yogurt so the cups set up nicely and do not turn runny.
If your strawberries are very sweet, start with 2 tablespoons sweetener and add more only if needed.
For extra thickness, fold in 1 tablespoon chia seeds and chill 1 to 2 hours (optional, changes the “3 ingredient” count).
Storage: Refrigerate covered up to 4 days. Freezing is possible, but texture becomes more icy once thawed.

Key Ingredients & Notes
Strawberries
Fresh strawberries give the brightest flavor, but frozen strawberries work just as well. If using frozen, thaw first and drain excess liquid for the best texture. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants which makes these yogurt cups a smart everyday choice. According to Healthline, strawberries support heart health and blood sugar balance.
Greek Yogurt
Plain Greek yogurt is ideal for protein and thickness. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt for extra sweetness. Dairy free yogurts like coconut or almond yogurt work well, just choose a thick variety so the cups set properly. BBC Good Food recommends Greek style yogurt for creamy no bake desserts.
Honey or Maple Syrup
Use honey or maple syrup depending on preference. Start small and adjust to taste, especially if your strawberries are very ripe. You can also skip sweetener entirely if you prefer a tangy, naturally sweet cup.
