Perfect as a breakfast, post-workout treat, or light dessert, this bowl brings paradise straight to your table.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

For the Fruit Base:

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup ripe mango, diced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries or blackberries
  • ½ banana, sliced (optional for creaminess)

For the Toppings:

  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (toasted or plain)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower or pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons granola
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

For the Dressing (Optional):

  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • A pinch of sea salt

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Fruits

Wash all the fruits thoroughly and pat them dry. Dice the mango and pineapple into bite-sized cubes for easy eating. Slice the kiwi, strawberries, and banana evenly to give the bowl a neat, layered look. Using fruits of contrasting colors adds visual appeal — think golden mango beside deep red strawberries.

Step 2: Make the Citrus Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together honey (or agave syrup), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. The citrus adds brightness, while honey enhances the natural sweetness of the tropical fruits. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Paradise Bowl

In a shallow serving bowl, arrange the fruit attractively — start with pineapple and mango as the base, then layer kiwi, berries, and banana slices on top. Drizzle the lime-honey dressing evenly across the fruit.

Step 4: Add the Crunch

Sprinkle shredded coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and granola over the top. This mix of textures makes every bite exciting — juicy, creamy, and crunchy all at once.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Finish with a few mint leaves for a touch of freshness and color. Serve immediately while the fruits are chilled and vibrant.

Serving Suggestion

This tropical bowl makes a perfect breakfast, mid-day refreshment, or post-workout snack. Pair it with yogurt for creaminess or blend leftover fruits into a smoothie base for your next morning. It’s also a great brunch centerpiece when served in coconut shells or clear glass bowls.

Chef’s Tips

  • Fruit choice: Always use ripe but firm fruits — overripe pieces can turn mushy.
  • Flavor lift: Add a squeeze of orange juice or passion fruit pulp for a burst of tang.
  • Vegan twist: Replace honey with maple or date syrup for a fully plant-based version.
  • Storage tip: Keep the cut fruits refrigerated and assemble the bowl just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • Presentation trick: Layer fruits in rainbow order for an eye-catching, tropical presentation.
