Enjoy this easy, breezy mango-pineapple yogurt bowl for a tropical breakfast treat. Plain yogurt is sweetened naturally with chunks of pineapple and mango, along with toasted coconut flakes. Plain yogurt is an excellent breakfast choice because it’s a probiotic (e.g. source of good bacteria), and contains a good dose of protein, calcium and vitamin D.

Mango-Pineapple Yogurt Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup (245 grams) plain low-fat yogurt
  • ¼ cup (45 grams) diced pineapple, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup (40 grams) diced mango, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons toasted walnut pieces

Directions

In a non-stick pan, toast coconut flakes over medium-high heat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Assemble yogurt bowl by layering plain low-fat yogurt, pineapple chunks and mango chunks. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and walnut pieces.
