During the week, I’m a grab and go breakfast person. Once the kids are on the bus, I’m in my home office. I’ve been guilty of turning on my computer and working straight until lunch time–without any breakfast.
I’ve learned that I’m less likely to skip breakfast when I have something I can just grab and eat at my desk. Just because I’m eating a simple breakfast doesn’t mean I want to skip on flavor. Now that I have these ahead yogurt cups with strawberry basil puree, I won’t have a reason to skip the most important meal of the day!
The strawberry basil puree only requires 5 ingredients. This recipe makes enough puree for 5 or 6 yogurt cups, depending on how much puree you like in your yogurt. Thanks to Truvia Spoonable, I was able to swap out the sugar completely. Truvia is zero-calorie, stevia-based sweetener. It’s super potent: 3/8 teaspoon of Truvia Spoonable is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar.
I’ve used Truvia packets for my coffee, but I like the new Truvia Spoonable flip-top container. More environmentally friendly than the single packets.
Just toss everything in a small pot. I used frozen strawberries so there’s no cleaning or slicing involved. Aren’t those colors gorgeous?
The puree takes about 15-20 minutes to cook, depending on how thick you want it. Give it a quick whirl in a blender once it cools and you’re all done. Just wait until the the puree is completely cool before assembling your yogurt cups.
I used canning jars to assemble my yogurt cups, but you can use reusable plastic containers too. I just like the look of the jars and even found red lids to coordinate. Give the yogurt a quick stir before eating and you’ve got yourself a delicious breakfast!

What a great idea to make these ahead. I use homemade preserves of one type or another with Greek yogurt for my son for breakfast, but I find he too often uses too much. This is a great way to get him what he wants and needs to eat without any issues! Those preserves look great – and so easy, too. #client
