This five-ingredient dessert tastes delicious and is made with protein-rich Greek yogurt. The night before serving, strain 1 1/2 cups vanilla-flavored nonfat Greek yogurt through a strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator to drain.

The next day, place the strained yogurt in a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp of honey, 3 tbsp of orange juice and 2 tsp of vanilla. Mix well.

In a blender, puree 10 ounces of frozen strawberries until smooth. Add the strawberries to the yogurt. Taste for sweetness and add more honey if you like. Divide among four glasses or bowls. Store extras in the refrigerator for two to three days.
