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 them interesting. My boys are fine, just eating the fruits and do not ask for anything else, but when I see all the colorful fruit 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 that 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 a 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 crème.
