Hi there, Ameera here!
Finding a fast breakfast can sometimes be challenging. This Whole Food Plant Based nod to a pina colada is a healthy alternative and so much fun to eat. Mom is all about anything that has pina colada flavors. She loves coconut and pineapple, I think it’s one of her favorite food combinations.
You gotta give this one a try!
Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This healthy breakfast yogurt is a nod to pina colada flavors.
- Fresh Fruit: We tested both fresh pineapple and canned pineapples. We preferred the fresh over the canned, but when we went to shoot this dish, there was no fresh pineapple in the grocery stores, so we used canned. If selecting canned pineapple, make sure you are using canned pineapple preserved in 100% pineapple juice.
- Coconut Flakes versus Shredded Coconut: We suggest using coconut flakes and not shredded coconut. Shredded coconut is typically very finely chopped and can be used instead.
- Toasting the Coconut: If you can’t find already toasted unsweetened coconut, you can easily toast it in the oven. Simple place the shredded coconut onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 325 F oven, center rack, for 3 to 5 minutes. Watch it very carefully as coconut burns easily. Toast until golden, then transferred the toasted coconut to a plate or bowl to cool.
- Pure Maple Syrup: We used only 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup to sweeten the yogurt. Feel free to use more or less to suit your personal preferences. The fresh fruit is sweet so keep that in mind when adding maple syrup.
- Coconut Extract: The coconut extract is optional, but it does bring forth the coconut flavor.
- Granola: We used our Simple Granola
- Granola Substitution: Feel free to use chopped nuts.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep for 2 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dish cannot be frozen.
Pantry Products:
- Granola: We used our Simple Granola Feel free to use your favorite granola recipe or store-bought granola.
- Unsweetened Coconut Flakes: We used Bob’s Red Mill Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (Unsulfured). Feel free to use your favorite unsweetened coconut flakes.
- Canned Pineapple: We used a 20 oz. can Dole Pineapple Tidbits in 100% pineapple juice. [Note: We did not use the whole can.]
Kitchen Products:
- Baking sheet (only if you need to toast the coconut)
