We love this classic all American dessert. This version of strawberry shortcake is a favorite at our classes. We use Whole Wheat Biscuits ,...

If you are going through chemo, you can still eat this. Try it with our Strawberry Compote instead of using raw fruit.

1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
¼ cup low-fat milk
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

For the Strawberries

1 pint strawberries, washed, leaves removes, and quartered
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
4 cups whole Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon agave, or to taste
