1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by placing the plain Greek yogurt into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Ensure your yogurt is well-chilled for the best consistency.

2. Add Sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup or honey. Begin with two tablespoons and remember you can always add a little more later if you prefer a sweeter glaze.

3. Introduce Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract. If you’re using the optional pinch of salt, add it now to the bowl.

4. Whisk Until Smooth: Using a whisk, vigorously mix all the ingredients together. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain from the yogurt. This should only take about 30 seconds to a minute.

5. Adjust Consistency for Glaze: If you desire a thinner glaze, add milk one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition, until you reach your preferred drizzling consistency. It should flow easily but still cling to a spoon.

6. Adjust Consistency for Frosting: For a thicker frosting, you might not need any milk at all, or just a tiny splash. The goal is a spreadable, pipeable texture. If it seems too thin, you can try refrigerating it for 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.

7. Taste and Adjust: Give the glaze or frosting a taste. If it’s not sweet enough, add another half-tablespoon of maple syrup or honey and whisk again. If the vanilla flavor isn’t prominent enough, add another splash.

8. Ready to Use: Your healthy Greek yogurt glaze or frosting is now ready to be used! Drizzle it, spread it, or pipe it onto your favorite healthy desserts.
