Pineapple Boat Fruit and Granola Bowl
4.2(208 ratings)A pineapple boat turns breakfast into something of an event, and none of the fruit goes to waste. The scooped-out flesh is diced and mixed straight back in with banana and berries. A drizzle of lime and coconut nectar brings everything together, and dehydrated buckwheat granola goes on at the table.

Step 4: Pile the fruit back into the hollow pineapple shell, mounding it slightly above the rim.
