Canonical: [https://followyourswallow.com/recipes/berry-yogurt-breakfast-level-4](https://followyourswallow.com/recipes/berry-yogurt-breakfast-level-4)

Level 4: Extremely Thick / Pureed | 10 min | Serves 1

## Family version

- Greek yogurt
- Berry compote
- Granola
- Honey drizzle

## Level 4 ingredients

- 170 g plain Greek yogurt (no inclusions)
- 60 g berries
- 1 tsp sugar
- Commercial thickener if needed

## Method

1. Simmer berries with sugar for 5 minutes, then blend completely smooth and pass through a fine sieve to remove every seed.
2. Cool the purée; it should mound softly, not run. Thicken if any juice separates.
3. Stir the yogurt and check for watery whey on top. Drain it or stir back in until uniformly smooth and cohesive.
4. Swirl the berry purée through the yogurt.
5. Spoon tilt test the finished bowl. No granola, no whole berries, no honey drizzle that pools thin.

## Equipment

Small pot, blender, fine sieve

## Practical tip

Thick Greek-style yogurt is the safer base. Regular yogurts often test at Level 3, especially once stirred.

## Before serving

Run the appropriate IDDSI fork and spoon tests on the finished serving. Recipes guide the preparation; only testing confirms how the serving behaves.

## Safety

Use only the food and drink levels prescribed by the person's qualified clinician. Test the actual serving before it is eaten or drunk.
