Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your desired level of sweetness)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: sliced almonds, granola, or shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberries: Place the hulled and halved strawberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, but leave a few small pieces for added texture, if desired.

    Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

      Incorporate Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds to the yogurt mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes; this will give the chia seeds time to absorb moisture and swell slightly.

        Layer the Ingredients: Take an 8x8-inch baking dish and pour half of the blended strawberry puree into the bottom, spreading it evenly. Next, carefully layer the yogurt and chia mixture over the strawberry base. Finally, dollop the remaining strawberry puree over the top.

          Create a Swirl: Using a butter knife or a skewer, gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix them in too thoroughly, as you want to maintain distinct layers of strawberry and yogurt.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

              Cut and Serve: When you're ready to serve, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares, and if you like, top each square with sliced almonds, granola, or shredded coconut for an added crunch.

                Enjoy: These delectable frozen squares are perfect for beating the heat on a warm day or satisfying a sweet craving in a healthy way!
