Maybe it’s because I’m looking forward to spending a week at the beach in June. Maybe it’s because I love all things tropical including pineapple, mango, and tropical islands.
Or, maybe it’s because I’m yearning for summer. I can’t help it. I’m a summer girl and Pineapple Mango Bowl is calling my name.
Actually, this Pineapple Mango Bowl is a breakfast bowl. But it’s so pretty, we can rename it Pineapple Mango Snack Bowl or Pineapple Mango Party Bowl. It’s way too cute to place in a breakfast box. Free the Pineapple Mango Bowl!
This recipe is so easy, a kid could do it – except for slicing the pineapple in half and cutting out the fruit. An adult needs to do that part.
Ingredients You’ll Need To Make A Pineapple Mango Bowl (Complete Recipe Down Below!)
- 1 fresh pineapple
- low-fat Greek yogurt
- diced mango
- blueberries
- slivered almonds
For two servings, we’ll need one for real pineapple – none of that canned stuff.
How To Tell If A Pineapple is Ripe
Once a pineapple is picked, it doesn’t ripen any further. It is what it is.
There are three easy ways to tell if a pineapple is ripe.
- Smell it – A pineapple should smell sweet, but not fermented. No smell means it’s probably not ripe.
- Squeeze it – It should be firm, but it should give very slightly when you squeeze it.
- Weigh it – Pick up the pineapple to make sure it feels heavy for its size. The heavier the pineapple, the juicier. More juice also means a sweeter, riper pineapple.
Let’s Make a Pineapple Mango Bowl with Slivered Almonds
Slice the pineapple in half length-wise. I think the crown adds beauty to this dish. However, if the crown of your pineapple is brown and dry, you can cut it off and toss it.
Carefully remove and dispose of the hard center core.
Cut out the fruit and chop it into bite-size pieces.
You will notice that my yogurt is blue in the photo below. Yes, it’s blueberry Greek yogurt.
I asked my husband to stop by the grocery store and pick up low-fat Greek yogurt. I didn’t know I needed to specify plain yogurt. So, he picked up blueberry. Actually, it’s really good in my Pineapple Mango Bowl.
Arrange yogurt, chopped pineapple, chopped mango, blueberries, and almonds in rows in both pineapple halves. That’s it.

Now that is one great looking pineapple. Thanks for the tips on how to tell if a pineapple is ripe. I didn’t know they stopped ripening when they are picked. Have fun at the beach and your pineapple bowl looks delicious and wish I was eating one right now.
I love food served in a pineapple! They had a dish at our state fair last year that served a rice based dish inside a pineapple.
Yum! I love pineapple and mango! I’ve had pineapple that started to ferment…gross. It makes me very sad when I don’t get a good one, so I’ll try your tip about it smelling sweet. Now if only my allergies would let me smell stuff!
