• 1 medium banana
• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
• 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the papayas in half lengthwise and use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds. Set the halves aside, cut side up, to act as your 'boats.'

Spoon equal portions of Greek yogurt into each papaya half, spreading it evenly to create a creamy base.

Step 4

Top the yogurt with a layer of granola for crunch.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana on top of the granola in an artistic pattern or scatter them evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the fruit and toppings for a hint of tropical flavor, if desired.

Step 7

Drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness, if preferred.

Step 8

Finish by sprinkling chia seeds over the entire dish for extra texture and nutrition.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, healthy, and delicious Papaya Boats!
