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)
Steps
-
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.
