Ingredients
Equipment: Serving bowls
- 1 cup natural Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp granola
Fresh Kenyan Fruits
- ½ cup fresh mango — diced
- ½ cup fresh pineapple — diced
- ½ cup strawberries — halved
- 2 passion fruits — pulp
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp Kenyan wild honey
- Fresh mint
Method
- Spoon yogurt into bowls — enough to fill half the depth.
- Swirl passion fruit pulp through the yogurt.
- Arrange mango, pineapple, and strawberries over the yogurt.
- Scatter granola at one side.

- Drizzle honey generously.
- Garnish with mint.
- Serve immediately.
Chef Tips
- The passion fruit swirl through the yogurt is the visual anchor — do it deliberately.
- Only perfectly ripe, fragrant fruit.
- Serve immediately — granola softens quickly in contact with yogurt.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Adding granola too early — goes soggy.
- Mediocre fruit.
The Science
Chia seeds absorb up to 10x their weight in liquid. In this bowl, they should be scattered just before service — allowing them to begin absorbing the fruit juices during eating, creating a pleasant textural change as the meal progresses.
