Gut loving yogurt papaya boats

FILL THEM WITH YOUR FAVOURITE HOMEMADE YOGURT!

It's no secret that we're obsessed with yogurt! On the Luvele blog, we now have oodles of delicious recipes that incorporate fresh homemade yogurt, but none are simpler than these homemade yogurt papaya boats.  Essentially they’re fruit salad and yogurt in an edible bowl.

Papaya is a powerful digestive aid. Add homemade yogurt and they become one of the healthiest breakfasts or summer deserts around. Pure, gut luving goodness, that take minutes to make.

To stay with a tropical theme, we’ve filled these gorgeous fruit boats with homemade coconut yogurt but any plant-based yogurt, such as almond or soy yogurt or traditional dairy yogurt can be used.

With papaya boats there are no rules. The possibilities for toppings are endless. Layer with a smorgasbord of fruits or sprinkle on homemade granola or nuts and seeds of your choice. Whatever you choose, papaya boats are a fun to make, delicious and cute as.
