  1. In a food processor or blender, process the yogurt, 1/2 of the banana slices, ¼ cup of the papaya, ¼ cup of the mango, ¼ cup of the pineapple, the stevia sweetener, and liquid stevia sweetener in the order listed, for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Pour or spoon the mixture into four small serving bowls.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir together the stevia water enhancer, chopped mint, and remaining banana, papaya, mango, and pineapple. Spoon about ¼ cup of the fruit mixture on top of the yogurt mixture in each bowl. Top with 1 tablespoon pecans. Garnish each bowl with a sprig of mint.

Cooking Tip: To freeze fresh papaya, remove the peel from the papaya with a vegetable peeler. Cut the papaya in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Slice the halves of papaya into 1-inch lengthwise slices. Cut the slices crosswise into 1-inch cubes. Place the papaya cubes on a cookie sheet. Freeze for 2 hours, or until frozen. Transfer the papaya to a resealable plastic bag or a covered plastic freezer container. Freeze for up to two months.
