*If you want to hear the story … it’s at the bottom 🙂
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
- strawberry yogurt of your choice
- frozen or fresh strawberries.
Here are the instructions
This recipe is adjustable to your own desires and amounts. I use 32 oz. low fat strawberry yogurt & 2 – 16 oz bags unsweetened frozen strawberries (thawed)
Place your yogurt in a blender.
Top with your strawberries.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a container and store in the fridge. Scoop some into a bowl when you are ready and enjoy!
You could really do this with any frozen berries, just find the flavors you like. You can also substitute vanilla yogurt if you prefer.
Other ingredients you can interchange or try for your own taste or flavor include:
- sour cream
- different juices like lemon juice or orange juice
- heavy cream
- plain yogurt
- cinnamon
- add a drizzle of oilive oil for added healthy fat
- 1 cup sugar for a sweeter treat
Add a sliced strawberry for garnish, and serve with cookies.
So what’s the story on this strawberry soup?
It started a long time ago when my daughter was 3, she watched Blue’s Clues. It was almost Valentine’s Day and she had watched an episode about a “Cafe Blue” or a restaurant episode. Well for Valentine’s Day she decided that she was going to open Cafe Brielle and we were going to dinner in her restaurant. We created and made menus for the event. She got on her apron, & had a notepad to take the order. She was so formal and serious about it. My husband and I had to walk up together and she then took us to our seat. We had the food ready, so she took orders and then ran out with the food. She would then run around, tear off the apron, and come in through the other door as our daughter saying “I’m sorry I’m late” and sit with us. She would excuse herself to run back, put the apron on, and become the waitress. It was quite comical to watch her go back and forth. Little did I know that this would become a tradition as my son was added into the mix after he was old enough to participate. Even though they’re much older they keep the tradition for me and I love every minute of it.

Oh my gosh! The story of Strawberry Soup is so adorable. I love it when little ones are so serious about things they are learning in life. How did you keep a straight face? I alternate plain yogurt with strawberries and oatmeal with strawberries for breakfast. I should make Strawberry Soup and have it ready in the fridge. 🙂
Thank you Linda. Your breakfast sounds delightful and if you give this a try please let me know what you think.
