These sweet strawberry makis are such a simple, fun way to switch up snack time using whole wheat bread, skyr, fresh strawberries, and chia seeds. I whip them up in just 10 minutes without touching the stove or oven, and they make two servings. I love them for those afternoons when you're craving something sweet and refreshing without complicating things in the kitchen.

The thick texture of skyr works wonderfully to get a creamy filling that won't spill out when rolling up the bread. As long as your strawberries are nice and dry and you don't overfill them, these strawberry makis are super easy to assemble and make a great snack to prepare together.

If you'd like to switch up your snacks, try my sweet roll-ups and, for another refreshing fruity treat, my strawberry yogurt ice cream.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make these sweet strawberry makis ahead of time?

Yes, you can keep them in the fridge for a few hours in an airtight container. Personally, I prefer to eat them the same day, since the bread softens over time with the yogurt and fruit.

What can I use instead of skyr?

You can substitute thick plain Greek yogurt. If there's any whey separated on top, drain it first so the filling doesn't turn runny or make the bread soggy.

How can I make these sweet makis gluten-free?

Use certified gluten-free sliced bread and check the labels on the rest of your ingredients. Pick a brand that is soft and pliable so it won't crack when rolling.
