Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Berry & Fruit Platter:
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 6 oz fresh raspberries
  • 6 oz fresh blackberries
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice mixed with 1 cup water (for apple soak)
  • 1 banana, sliced just before serving
  • For the Creamy Greek Yogurt Protein Dip:
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Whipped Raspberry Chia Jam:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make the chia jam: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries and maple syrup. Warm over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, mashing berries with a fork. Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds and lemon juice. Let sit at least 30 minutes to thicken.
  2. Make the yogurt dip: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Prepare the fruit: Wash and thoroughly dry all berries. Slice the apple and soak slices in the lemon water for 5 minutes, then pat dry. Slice the banana just before assembling.
  4. Assemble the platter: Arrange all fruit attractively on a large board or platter. Place small bowls of the yogurt dip and chia jam on the platter. Optionally, swirl a little jam into the yogurt dip for a pink effect. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure berries are completely dry before plating to prevent a soggy platter. The chia jam can be made up to a week ahead. The yogurt dip thickens when chilled; stir before serving. For a dairy-free version, use thick coconut yogurt and plant-based protein powder.
