Ingredients
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 1/2 cup Mango (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 tablespoon Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds (optional)

Prepare the Yogurt Base

Pour the yogurt into a bowl. Ensure it's a size that comfortably holds the yogurt and fruit toppings.

Add Mango

Dice the mango into small pieces (if using fresh). If using frozen mango, make sure it is slightly thawed. Arrange the mango pieces evenly over the yogurt.

Add Pineapple

Dice the pineapple into small pieces. If using canned pineapple, drain well to remove excess juice. Arrange the pineapple pieces over the yogurt and mango.

Sprinkle with Coconut and Chia (Optional)

Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the fruit. If using chia seeds, sprinkle them on top of the coconut for an added nutritional boost.

Enjoy Immediately

Serve immediately. This yogurt bowl is best enjoyed fresh so the fruit doesn't make the yogurt watery. Enjoy the tropical flavors!

FAQ

  • Can I use other tropical fruits?

    Yes! Papaya, kiwi, or passion fruit would be excellent additions or substitutions.
  • Can I use flavored yogurt?

    You can, but be mindful of the added sugar content. Plain yogurt is a healthier option.
  • Can I add a sweetener?

    If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar, but use it sparingly to keep it a low-calorie snack.
