I am calling this a beauty bowl because, dang, is she pretty! You eat with your eyes first. Then Smell second, taste buds third. This bowl smells like a quiet tropical breeze, fruity, coconut-y, and creamy. And look at those sunset orbs-gooseberries are in season right now, so snap them up. They are textured a like a firm mini tomato that tastes like a smug tri-marriage between a grape, a lemon, and an apricot. Don't miss out!
"Orange slices would be a lovely replacement for gooseberries if you cannot find them."
Notes: Coconut is unsweetened.

1. Place a bowl in the freezer. Process or blend the banana, mango, yogurt, honey, and almond milk until almost smooth.
