Coconut Pineapple Bites Snack (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fresh Produce
01 -
1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
02 -
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
→ Dairy and Alternatives
03 -
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)
→ Pantry Items

1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
05 -
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
# Instructions:
01 -
Slice the peeled pineapple into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
02 -
In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut with Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup if using, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Omit yogurt and sweetener for a lighter coating.

Using clean hands or a fork, evenly coat each pineapple chunk in the coconut mixture. For a simpler option, roll each pineapple chunk directly in shredded coconut.

Arrange the coated pineapple pieces on a serving platter. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and bites to firm. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving if desired.
# Notes:

For best results, use very ripe pineapple to enhance the natural sweetness and minimize additional sweeteners.
