Plain yogurt has fewer calories but similar taste.

Start with 2 cups of either fresh or frozen strawberries in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 pinches of salt to the saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cover with a lid to speed up the process.

After about 1 minute, stir the mixture to combine.

Simmer for about 5 minutes until the fruit is soft.

Use a fork, potato masher, or pastry cutter to smash the fruit to your desired consistency.

Let the sauce simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.

Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool; it will thicken further as it cools.

For one serving, start with 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt in a bowl.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of honey to the yogurt and mix well.

Add 2 tablespoons of the strawberry compost to the yogurt mixture.

Sprinkle in some vanilla almond granola for texture and crunch.
