I’m celebrating the end of summer with this gorgeous fruit salad today.
It’s drizzled with a light honey-orange sauce, which makes it completely irresistible. Thanks to the natural sweetness of the fruit, this healthy treat tastes like dessert but has only 2g added sugar (and only 100 calories) per serving! It’s simple to make, and you can use any fruits you like: apples, pears, berries, grapes, melons – the works!
How To Make This Healthy and Easy Fruit Salad Recipe – Step By Step
- Combine your fruit, honey and orange juice in a bowl and let sit for 1 hour in the fridge.
- Top each bowl with 1 tbsp yogurt (or more!) before serving.
Why Add Greek Yogurt? Here are the Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt
This delicious and easy fruit salad is topped with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, which can help improve bone health. It also contains probiotics, which support a healthy bacterial balance in the gut.
Greek yogurt is protein-rich, so it may help people feel fuller for longer. Research suggests that people may eat less throughout the day after a meal that is high in protein.
How to make a kid-friendly fruit salad
Luckily, fruit salad is already a pretty kid-friendly treat. But if you have an especially picky child, here are some tips to making this recipe even more kid friendly:
- Cut the pieces of fruit to be really small and bite sized – perfect for small hands
- Use your child’s favorite fruits! If you’re trying to introduce something new, add one new fruit among the ones they already know and love
- Be sure to let the fruit marinate in the honey + orange juice for at least an hour (but longer is better!) to let the natural sweetness of the fruit become even more enhanced.
- Serve it in a dish they love – like these super cute owl plates which have the added benefit of being eco-friendly too!
How to adapt this easy fruit salad recipe for any season!
Thanks to the versatility of this salad, you can enjoy it throughout the seasons! Here are the fruits I’d recommend using depending on which season you’re making this recipe:
- Winter: Grapefruit, Oranges, Tangerines
- Spring: Apricots, Avocado, Mango, Pineapple, Strawberries
- Summer: Blackberries, Blueberries, Nectarines, Peaches, Plums, Raspberries, Kiwi
- Fall: Apples, Cranberries, Figs, Grapes, Pears, Pomegranate
Top Tips For This Easy Fruit Salad Recipe
