Tips & Variations

• Swap fruits: Use seasonal fruits like mango, melon, pomegranate seeds, or apple.

• Add texture: Sprinkle with chia seeds, flax seeds, or toasted coconut flakes.

• Extra flavor: Add a splash of orange juice or a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for zing.

• Make it creamy: Stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt for a creamy fruit salad version.

This is a healthy, hydrating snack or side that works well for breakfast, dessert, or a quick anytime snack.

I can also make a tropical version or a protein-packed version of fresh fruit salad if you want something more filling.
