Instructions
1. Prepare the Citrus Fruit
- Peel the orange: Remove the peel and white pith from the orange. You can either cut the segments out or slice the orange into thin rounds. If using lemon for extra tang, slice it into thin rounds or wedges as well.
- Zest the orange and lemon: Using a zester or fine grater, carefully zest a small amount of the orange and lemon. The zest will add a burst of citrus flavor.
2. Mix the Yogurt Base
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. You can also use flavored yogurt if you prefer.
- Add the orange zest and, if using, lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
3. Assemble the Citrus Delights
- Spoon the sweetened yogurt mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
- Arrange the orange slices (and lemon slices, if using) on top of the yogurt.
- Sprinkle a handful of granola over the top for added crunch. This step is optional but highly recommended for texture contrast.
4. Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and a hint of freshness.
- Serve immediately.
Quick Tips
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with other citrus fruits like grapefruit, blood orange, or lime. You can also mix different types of citrus for a unique flavor blend.
- Dairy Alternatives: For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt.
- Additional Toppings: Add a drizzle of dark chocolate, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a handful of fresh berries for extra flavor and nutrition.
