Choosing ripe mangoes and passion fruits can enhance the taste of your dish. Mangoes come in a variety of colours depending on the type, so the colour is not always a reliable indicator of ripeness. However, most ripe mangoes will have some red or orange hues. To confirm its ripeness, gently press the mango; a ripe one should yield slightly under pressure. If it is too soft, it may be overripe. Another indicator is the smell; ripe mangoes often emit a sweet aroma at their stems.
As for passion fruits, they generally have a deep purple or yellow shade when they are ripe. Avoid those with green spots, as they are likely underripe. The best passion fruits feel heavy for their size and have wrinkled skin. This weightiness indicates that the fruit is packed with juice and seeds, while wrinkled skin is a sign of sweetness.

The tropical tanginess of mango and passionfruit work in harmony with the subtle nutty richness of coconut, making each bite an exotic escape. Mango, with its velvety texture and natural sweetness, adds a lush, tropical note. Passionfruit, with its inimitable tangy-sweet taste, cuts through the richness, adding an invigorating zest. Lastly, coconut, whether in bits or toasted flakes, adds a delicate nuttiness and crunch while being a textural counterpoint to the smooth yogurt and soft fruit. These ingredients intertwine their distinct flavours to complement each other beautifully, creating a flavour experience that is simultaneously familiar and exotic.

One of the charms of the yogurt bowl is its flexibility. The base can be ordinary yogurt or a variation such as skyr or Greek yogurt. Want a creamier, more indulgent bowl? Opt for Greek yogurt. Prefer a lighter, tangier flavour? Skyr is your friend. And as for the toppings, the possibilities are endless. Swap mango for pineapple and your breakfast yogurt bowl suddenly has a pina colada feel. Try adding a dash of cinnamon for a warm, spicy note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the fruit. You can also experiment with different types of nuts and seeds or add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of granola.
