Mexican Coconut-Lime Fruit Cups (Lightened)
A Mexican-inspired fresh fruit cup built as a lightened take on coconut candy bars, swapping the sugared, fried coconut-and-condensed-milk base for raw pineapple, mango and watermelon tossed with lime, shaved coconut and chia. The chia seeds add body and a gentle set while keeping the bowl bright, cold and genuinely low in calories without losing the coconut-candy flavour signature.

Instructions
1
Dice the pineapple, mango and watermelon into even 1.5cm cubes and divide between 2 bowls.
2
Shave the fresh coconut flesh into thin strips with a vegetable peeler and scatter over the fruit.
3
Squeeze the lime juice over both bowls and toss gently to coat.
4
Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over each bowl and stir through lightly so they begin to cling to the juice.
5
Dust with the ground cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt to sharpen the sweetness.
6
Cover and chill for 15 minutes so the chia seeds soften slightly and the flavours settle before serving.
