A creamy mixed fruit bowl is one of my favorite go-to recipes when I want something fresh, delicious, and nourishing.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1/2 cup chopped apples

1/2 cup chopped bananas

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

1/2 cup chopped mangoes

1/2 cup chopped grapes (halved)

1 cup thick yogurt (Greek yogurt or hung curd)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, or pistachios)

1 tablespoon raisins (optional)

Directions

I start by chopping all the fruits—apples, bananas, mangoes, and grapes—and placing them in a large mixing bowl with the pomegranate seeds.

In a separate bowl, I whisk the yogurt until smooth.

Then I stir in honey or maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, cozy flavor.

I pour this creamy yogurt mix over the chopped fruits and gently fold everything together so the fruit is well coated.

Finally, I sprinkle chopped nuts and raisins on top.

I always chill it for at least 15 to 30 minutes before serving—it enhances the flavor and makes it even more refreshing.

Variations

I sometimes swap out fruits based on what I have—strawberries, kiwi, or blueberries work wonderfully.

For a vegan option, I use plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt and opt for maple syrup.

A sprinkle of chia seeds or granola on top adds an extra crunch and nutrition boost.

If I want it extra indulgent, I add a spoon of cream cheese or whipped cream into the yogurt mix.

A dash of rose water or cardamom adds a beautiful Indian twist.

Storage/Reheating

This creamy fruit bowl is best enjoyed fresh, but I’ve found it stores well in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. The fruits may release some moisture, so I give it a quick stir before serving. I don’t recommend freezing or reheating, as the texture and flavor of the fruits can change significantly.

FAQs

What kind of yogurt works best in this recipe?

I prefer using thick Greek yogurt or hung curd because it gives the fruit bowl a rich, creamy texture without making it watery.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare it a few hours in advance and keep it chilled. Just be sure to add bananas close to serving time to prevent browning.

Is this fruit bowl suitable for kids?

Absolutely! Kids love the natural sweetness and creamy texture. I sometimes adjust the sweetness by adding a bit more honey for picky eaters.

How do I make it vegan?

To make it vegan, I substitute the dairy yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.

Can I use frozen fruits?

I prefer fresh fruits for the best texture, but if I’m in a pinch, I thaw frozen fruits thoroughly and drain excess water before mixing.

This creamy mixed fruit bowl is my ultimate quick-fix for something healthy, tasty, and satisfying. It’s endlessly customizable, naturally sweet, and perfect for any time of the day. Whether I need a post-workout bite, a light dessert, or a nourishing breakfast, this bowl always delivers with flavor and freshness.
