Ingredients
- Yogurt - I always have plain Greek yogurt on hand, but you can use regular plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt. The consistency will just be thinner. I also recommend getting full-fat yogurt (4% or 5%) especially for young kids. Fat plays a critical role in optimal brain development.
- Mangoes - you can use either fresh or frozen mangoes. Most definitely use fresh when in season for best flavor.
- Unsweetened coconut flakes - This is optional BUT I highly recommend as mango and coconut are just meant to be together.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add mango and shredded coconut to your food processor or blender. If using frozen, wait at least 20 minutes so they thaw enough to be blended.
- Blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, add the yogurt and mango puree. Stir with a spoon until well combined.
- Taste and add a little honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
While delicious as is, you can invite more fun and variety simply by rotating through these toppings:
- Fresh fruit
- Dried fruit
- Nuts
- Seeds (hemp, flax, chia)
- Granola
- Cereal
- Chocolate chips
- Yogurt melts - The texture is similar to freeze-dried fruit and made with real fruit, beets or carrots, and yogurt. Use the code MIN5 for $5 off your order.
- Peanut butter (or nut/seed butter)
You can also combine with creamy cooked oatmeal or overnight oats.
Or add a dollop to your pancakes, waffles, or baked oatmeal.
And last but not least, turn into frozen yogurt popsicles!
Storage
I like to store ½ cup portions in small airtight containers. That way I can easily grab one from the refrigerator in the morning along with various toppings.
It will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
