- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently pour the yogurt mixture over the fruit.

Best ways to enjoy it
This Creamy Mixed Fruit Bowl shines when served chilled, making it a refreshing option for warm days. To elevate the experience, consider pairing it with crunchy granola for added texture or a sprinkle of nuts for a bit of protein. You could also serve it alongside a light breakfast, such as whole-grain toast or oatmeal. For an elegant dessert, serve it in individual dessert glasses, topped with a mint leaf or a sprinkle of chia seeds for that extra touch.
How to store
If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt you’ll have much!), you can store the fruit bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep in mind that the fruit may release some juices over time, so it’s best enjoyed within the first day for optimal freshness. If you aim to freeze any part of it, consider freezing the fruit separately since Greek yogurt does not freeze particularly well.
