Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup Mango (fresh, diced)
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple (fresh, diced)
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons Macadamia Nuts (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Lime Zest (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or Agave (optional)

Preparing the Yogurt Base

Spoon the Greek yogurt into a serving bowl. Ensure it's a bowl that is large enough to accommodate all the tropical goodness you're about to add.

Adding Tropical Fruits

Arrange the diced mango and pineapple over the yogurt. Make sure the pieces are bite-sized for easy eating. Fresh fruit is preferred for the best flavor and texture, but canned (in juice, not syrup) is an acceptable substitute in a pinch. Drain well before using.

Sprinkling Shredded Coconut

Sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut over the fruit. This adds a delightful tropical flavor and a subtle chewy texture. Be sure to use unsweetened to control the overall sugar content.

Adding Macadamia Nuts

Top with chopped macadamia nuts. These nuts provide a creamy, buttery flavor and a satisfying crunch that complements the sweetness of the fruit and the tanginess of the yogurt. Other nuts such as almonds or cashews may be substituted if macadamia nuts are unavailable.

Lime Zest (Optional)

If desired, sprinkle a little lime zest over the top. The lime zest adds a bright, citrusy note that enhances the tropical flavors. Be careful to zest only the outer layer of the lime, avoiding the bitter white pith.

Sweetening (Optional)

If needed, drizzle a teaspoon of honey or agave over the bowl for extra sweetness. Taste the bowl first, as the fruit may be sweet enough on its own. Use natural sweeteners sparingly.

Enjoy Immediately

Enjoy your Tropical Sunrise Greek Yogurt Bowl immediately. It's best served fresh so the fruit is at its peak flavor and texture.
