  • 1 kiwi, diced
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 cup granola in a roomy bowl.
  2. Add diced mango and diced kiwi opposite each other in the bowl.
  3. Add banana slices and strawberries opposite one another in the remaining slots.
  4. Mix the cinnamon and coconut flakes in a decorative side bowl, and do the same for the sliced almonds and whipped cream, as shown above, placing one whole strawberry and some mint leaves around the whipped cream for added decoration.
  5. Pour individual servings of homemade almond, coconut or cashew milk in serving size containers to be used as desired.
  6. Select fresh edible flowers to add vibrancy and color to the bowl.
