  • 1 cup green fruit (honeydew melon, green grapes, or kiwi)
  • 1 cup blue or purple fruit (blueberries, plums, or blackberries)
  • 1 cup orange or yellow fruit (cantaloupe, pineapple, or mandarin oranges)
  • 1 cup tan or white fruit (bananas or brown pears)
  • 1 cup orange juice*

*If you use concentrate, follow instructions to mix concentrate with water.

  1. Wash fruit.
  2. If using kiwi or bananas, peel fruit.
  3. Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Toss fruit with the orange juice.

Tips and variations

  • If you do not have fresh fruit, use frozen fruit or fruit canned in juice (avoid heavy syrup).
  • Mix apples in orange juice right away. The acid in citrus helps keep the fruit from turning brown.
  • Substitute 8 ounces (1 cup) of low-fat piña colada yogurt for orange juice.
  • Make a smoothie with the leftover fruit salad. Just add non-fat yogurt (any flavor) and blend in blender.
  • To prevent choking with small children, cut grapes and banana slices in half or quarters.
