Tropical Papaya Boats
Tropical papaya boats with loads of topping options! Load your fruit with coconut yogurt or banana ice cream and go to town with fruit, seeds, and nuts! A healthy, plant-based breakfast or snack.
Servings 1 (generous serving)
Ingredients
- 1 ripe papaya or cantaloupe (halved, seeds removed)
- 1 cup banana ice cream or flavored dairy-free yogurt (I love blueberry coconut yogurt from Trader Joe's)
- 1 medium kiwi (skin removed and chopped)
- 1/2 cup cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 2-3 Tbsp slivered almonds
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- Granola (see all of my granola recipes)
Instructions
- To make banana ice cream (instead of using dairy-free yogurt), add 2 (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) ripe, previously sliced and frozen bananas to a blender or food processor and blend on low until a creamy ice cream consistency is reached. Scrape down sides as needed, and add a splash of almond milk if it has trouble blending.
- To assemble papaya (or cantaloupe) boats, simply fill the hollow centers with desired amounts of banana ice cream or coconut yogurt, fruit, nuts, and seeds!
- Enjoy immediately - best when fresh.
