Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 mango, sliced
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Wash the fresh mango thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the mango lengthwise on both sides of the pit. Then cut the flesh in a crosshatch pattern without piercing the skin.
- Gently scoop out the mango slices using a spoon, ensuring clean, even cuts. Set aside the sliced mango pieces.
- Take two serving bowls and divide the coconut yogurt evenly between them, spreading it smoothly across the bottom of each bowl.
- Arrange the freshly sliced mango pieces artfully on top of the yogurt, creating an attractive and appetizing presentation.
- Sprinkle the granola over the mango and yogurt, distributing it evenly for a delightful crunch.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup in a light, zigzag pattern across the surface of the bowl.
- Finish by sprinkling chia seeds over the top, which will add nutritional value and a subtle texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and contrasting textures of the yogurt, mango, and granola.
Tips
- Mango Selection: Choose a ripe, fragrant mango that yields slightly when gently pressed. The more golden and aromatic, the sweeter your bowl will be.
- Yogurt Consistency: Use chilled coconut yogurt for the best texture and a refreshing base. If it's too thick, gently stir to create a smoother consistency.
- Granola Crunch: For maximum crunch, add granola just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
- Sweetener Options: Experiment with honey, maple syrup, or even a drizzle of agave nectar to suit your taste preferences.
- Nutritional Boost: Chia seeds are optional but highly recommended for added omega-3s and fiber. Toast them lightly for enhanced flavor.
- Presentation Matters: Use clear bowls to showcase the beautiful layers and colors of your creation.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prep ingredients in advance, but assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
