Ingredients
  

1 large seedless watermelon

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or your favorite flavored variety)

1 cup mixed berries (choose from strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 banana, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for a tropical twist)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for crunch)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

A pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Base: Begin by cutting the watermelon in half lengthwise. From one half, carefully slice 1-inch thick rounds resembling “pizza crusts.” You can yield approximately 2-3 circles. If desired, trim the green rind to create a more authentic pizza appearance.

    Create Your Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or agave syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and tweak the sweetness, adding more honey/agave if preferred.

      Assemble the Pizza: Take each watermelon slice and generously spread the yogurt mixture over the top, mimicking the way you would spread pizza sauce on a traditional crust.

        Top it Off: Artfully arrange the mixed berries and banana slices on top of the yogurt-covered watermelon, distributing them evenly. Sprinkle shredded coconut and chopped nuts across the surface to add delightful texture and flavor.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish the pizzas by placing a few fresh mint leaves on top, adding a refreshing touch. To elevate the sweetness further, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the assembled pizzas.

            Slice and Enjoy: Finally, cut each watermelon pizza into wedges and enjoy right away as a vibrant and refreshing dessert or snack!
