Stir in the remaining yogurt, then stir in quark mixture and fold in the berries.
Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon.

Healthy, because
Your fat account is hardly charged with a piece of cake at all. Instead, you'll get plenty of B vitamins such as vitamin B2, niacin and biotin - all important for a smooth metabolism, a beautiful complexion and good nerves. Vitamin B12, which is indispensable for blood formation, is also part of the package with one third of the desired daily intake.
Even smarter
Even outside the berry season you don't have to do without this delicious Charlotte. Then simply take frozen fruit - in the freezer there are even ready-made mixtures available.
