Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt you can swap it with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version
- 2 cups mini marshmallows for a skinny option, use sugar-free ones!
- 1 cup canned mandarin oranges drained (fresh is fab, too!)
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks drained (don’t forget to reserve some juice for an extra zing!)
- 1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened if you’re aiming for healthy
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional, but they add a nice crunch
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar to sweeten things up; adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract because vanilla makes everything better!
Instructions
- Grab a big mixing bowl: We need room to dance while we blend!
- Mix the Greek yogurt: In goes the yogurt with honey and vanilla. Stir until smooth and creamy—this will be our luscious base.
- Add the marshmallows: Toss them in like little fluffy clouds!
- Throw in the fruits: Add those mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Gently fold them in to avoid chunky yogurt!
- Sprinkle in the coconut: Feel free to go heavy! Coconut is the star here.
- Nutty time! If you opted for nuts, toss those in, too. Just be sure to chop them up a bit so they can mingle nicely.
- Chill: Cover your bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors get to know each other.
- Serve it up: Grab a spoon, dig in, and don’t forget to smile! You made something wonderful.
