Notes
- Make sure not to leave out the lime juice. This keeps the fruit from turning brown as well as adding flavor. Use lemon if you prefer.
- While canned fruit can be used, fresh fruit has a firmer texture and will last longer, not to mention taste so much better. So use fresh fruit if possible.
- Fruits are especially notorious for being heavily laden with pesticides so if your budget allows, buy organic fruit. Your body will thank you!
- For the best taste and freshness, chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. It allows the flavors to blend.
- Sprinkle with nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes to add a crunchy texture and packed nutrition.
- Serve the fruit salad as a standalone dish or pair it with yogurt, coconut whipped cream, or a scoop of sorbet for a delightful dessert option.
- There are 2 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
