Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust based on your preferred sweetness level)

1 tablespoon lemon zest (grated from about 1 large lemon)

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 medium lemons)

3 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite dairy-free yogurt alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle the honey (or agave syrup) over the strawberries and gently mix to combine. Let the mixture sit for approximately 10 minutes to macerate, allowing the natural juices from the strawberries to develop and sweeten.

    Make the Lemonade Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Blend the Mixture: Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the macerated strawberries until smooth. If you prefer a bit of texture, blend only partially to leave small strawberry chunks.

        Combine Layers: Begin creating your layers by taking half of the yogurt mixture and carefully spooning it into the bottom of 8 small cups or ramekins. Follow this layer by adding a few spoonfuls of the strawberry puree on top.

          Layer Continues: Repeat the process by adding the remaining yogurt mixture on top of the strawberry layer. To create a beautiful marbled effect, finish with the leftover strawberry puree, gently swirling it in using a toothpick or skewer, being careful not to fully mix the layers.

            Freeze: Cover each cup with plastic wrap and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solidified.

              Serve: When ready to serve, take the cups out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Before enjoying, top each cup with a generous sprinkle of granola and garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
