If you like the sweet taste of fruit + yogurt + honey, you've got to try this. Papaya is kind of a cross in flavor between melon and mango.

You'll remove the seeds to make these papaya boats and then fill them with coconut yogurt or any other kind of yogurt you'd like and then your favorite toppings.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Links on some posts are affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Specialty Ingredients - You can make your own homemade granola or try this French Vanilla Granola.

Optional Toppings - If you'd like to add more toppings, try some coconut flakes, almond butter, peanut butter, pistachios, slivered almonds, or chia seeds.

Storage Tips - I would not recommend saving this recipe as the granola will get soggy. Once you add the granola and yogurt you'll want to serve it.

Diet/Allergy Alternatives - You don't need to use a plant-based yogurt if you don't want this to be vegan - you can use regular vanilla yogurt or Greek yogurt.
