Tropical Bionico
I can’t think of anything more summery and tropical tasting than this bionico, tossed in mixture of Cacique® Yogurt Smoothie Pina Colada flavor and chia seeds. Then topped with granola and coconut, this bionico is satisfying and perfect for breakfast or fresh summer treat.
Traditionally, the bionicos are topped with a sweet crema made with yogurt, sour cream and condensed milk. Then the crema is served over fresh cut fruit and topped with granola, nuts, shredded coconut and raisings.
I remember one of my favorite breakfasts during my high school days was the famous bionico and a large glass of fresh orange juice. Talk about delicious and fresh! Even though the sweet crema is amazing and perfect for my sweet tooth, I usually opt for plain yogurt with just a little bit of honey.
After getting my hands on the freshest fruit last week, I knew I had to make a bionico. It’s very easy to make, plus is so colorful, it just makes me happy. Don’t you love the colors? If you don’t have a melon baller, don’t worry, you can cut the papaya and melon into cubes. Of course, you can mix and match quantities, fruits and topping. It’s a very flexible recipe that everyone can enjoy. The possibilities are endless!
