Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe papaya
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup granola (your favorite blend)
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon chia or flaxseeds (optional)
- Juice of ½ lime
- A few fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the papaya in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
- Peel off the skin and chop the flesh into medium cubes.
- Spoon the yogurt into bowls and smooth the tops.
- Arrange papaya cubes on top of the yogurt.
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
- Sprinkle granola, coconut flakes, and chia seeds (if using).
- Squeeze a little lime juice over the top for brightness.

Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- If your papaya isn’t perfectly ripe, let it sit at room temperature for a day or two.
- For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or cacao nibs.
- You can also blend half the papaya into the yogurt for a smoothie-style bowl.
