Greek Yogurt Fruit Salad
Greek Yogurt Fruit Salad – fresh fruit stirred together with a light and creamy greek yogurt cheesecake filling! Perfect for a sweet side dish, or a lightened up dessert!
I’m pretty sure I mentioned in my Skinny Chocolate Cake post a couple of weeks ago that I’m working to shed some postpartum baby weight and get back into a healthy eating routine again. My littlest guy is 10 weeks old now (how is that even possible?!????❤️) and my journey back to health has been much anticipated! That journey isn’t all about weight loss though. Really it has more to do with recovering from a very difficult and sickly pregnancy (you can read more about that here) and just getting back to feeling like myself again!
As much as I’m excited to be back on track with healthy eating, letting go of sweets is proving to be just as challenging as ever. I love desserts, y’all. Chocolate? Ice cream? Cookies? Brownies??? I can. not. resist!
But ya know what, healthy desserts aren’t so bad! This Greek Yogurt Fruit Salad is proof of that, and it’s so quick and easy, you will want to make it all the time! It’s especially good right now when fresh berries are at their peak, and well priced too!
I make this salad with a combination of fruits including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and grapes. I used a cup of each one, except for the grapes which I used two cups of. You can use whatever variety and amount you’d like, though! It’s my new go-to healthy dessert because it tastes like fruit with a touch of cheesecake!???? Enjoy!!

I could totally use a healthy dessert, this sounds perfect and I’m pretty sure I already have everything. I’ve recently discovered Skinny Syrups, you can use them in desserts, coffee and such and they have 0 sugar, 0 calories and 0 carbs. They are unreal!
Made this for a potluck, I substituted maple syrup for the sugar. It was a big hit. It held up well in the shade during a warm afternoon in the desert.
Can this be made with any fruit
yes, whatever fruit you would like!
I love fresh fruit and Greek yogurt so I had to try this! I made it for a family reunion and everyone raved about it. It was sinfully delicious! I chose to use stevia instead of sugar and used half as much. It was perfection! Making it again today for another party tonight! Thanks for the great recipe!
