Ingredients
  

1 large seedless watermelon

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

1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

½ cup kiwi, thinly sliced

¼ cup shredded coconut (you can use sweetened or unsweetened based on preference)

¼ cup almond slices (or any chopped nuts you prefer)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for optional drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Base:

    - Begin by slicing the watermelon in half lengthwise. Next, take each half and cut it into thick, circular slices about 1 to 1.5 inches in thickness. You should be able to yield approximately 4-6 slices depending on the size of your watermelon. If any seeds are present, make sure to remove them carefully.

      Spread the Yogurt:

        - Arrange the watermelon slices on a large serving platter or a cutting board. Using a spatula, generously spread a thick layer of Greek yogurt over the top of each watermelon slice, effectively serving as your “pizza sauce.” Ensure that the yogurt layer covers the watermelon completely for maximum flavor.

          Add Toppings:

            - Start by gracefully layering your mixed fresh berries over the yogurt layer on each slice. Follow this by scattering the thinly sliced kiwi, shredded coconut, and almond slices atop the berries. This combination will offer delightful textures and flavors in each bite.

              Drizzle with Sweetness:

                - If you desire an extra hint of sweetness, take your honey or maple syrup and drizzle it lightly over the assembled toppings on each watermelon slice, further enhancing the flavor profile.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    - For a fresh and colorful touch, garnish each slice with a few fresh mint leaves. Cut the watermelon slices into triangular pieces (similar to traditional pizza) to serve. For the best taste and texture, enjoy your watermelon pizza immediately after preparation.
