Bionico – Mexican Fruit Salad

Bionico Mexican Fruit Salad is a refreshing, satisfying, and perfectly sweet and creamy breakfast or special treat. It is a traditional Mexican dessert that can be made in under 30 minutes.

Fruits are an essential snack in my house and I look for different ways to make it interesting. My boys are fine just eating the fruits and do not ask for anything else, but when I see all the colorful fruits salads being served, I get tempted to try something different. My aunt, back in India, always sent a big snack box of chopped mixed fruits to college for my cousins.

After I saw that, I started giving my boys a variety of fruits for snacks instead of just a single one. When I was researching for a different variety of fruit salad, I saw this Mexican fruit salad which had a delicious crema topping. Crema means cream in Mexican and a combination of condensed milk and sour cream is used as crema. I used vanilla flavored Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in my Bionico.

Bionico is very simple with chopped up variety of seasonal fruit mixed with crema and topped with granola and shredded coconut. Sometimes honey and raisins are also used as a topping. I used honey to sweeten the fruits and used some cinnamon in the crema.
