Quick Tropical Yogurt Bowl
A refreshing and vibrant yogurt bowl featuring creamy yogurt, tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes. A light and flavorful snack ready in minutes.
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
