1 cup blueberries
1 cup green grapes, halved if large
2 oranges, segmented
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon honey or fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash all fruits thoroughly under cool water.
- Prep the fruits: slice the bananas, hull and halve the strawberries, halve the grapes if large, segment the oranges, and cut pineapple into chunks.
- Combine all the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.
- Gently toss the fruits together to mix, being careful not to mash the softer fruits.
- Optionally, drizzle with honey or lemon juice for added brightness and toss gently again.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for a chilled option.
Notes
Use seasonal fruits like mango, kiwi, or peaches for variety.
Add chopped mint or shredded coconut for extra texture.
For crunch, include chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
Add banana just before serving to avoid browning.
Do not freeze; fruit texture will change when thawed.
