Oh my goodness, ladies (and gents)! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine fruit bowl recipe that’s been making waves in my kitchen. Trust me, once you try this, your regular afternoon snack game will never be the same!
You know those days when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to feel guilty about it? This gorgeous, Instagram-worthy fruit bowl is your answer! It’s packed with vibrant colors, refreshing flavors, and the best part? It’s totally customizable to your taste buds.
Here’s what you’ll need (serves 2):
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 ripe mango, cubed
• 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 banana, sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• 1/4 cup granola
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Now, let me walk you through this super simple process (seriously, you can’t mess this up!):
1. First things first, wash all your fruits thoroughly. Nobody wants a side of pesticides with their healthy snack, right? 😉
1. Cut your fruits into bite-sized pieces. Pro tip: save the banana slicing for last to prevent browning – trust me, I learned this the hard way!
1. In a beautiful bowl (presentation is everything, honey!), start arranging your fruits in sections. I like to create a rainbow effect because it makes me feel fancy, but you do you!

1. Drizzle that honey over your fruit masterpiece (if using). The honey adds a touch of sweetness that brings all the flavors together like a happy fruit family reunion!
1. Sprinkle your granola and chia seeds on top. These babies add the perfect crunch and make the bowl more filling.
1. Finally, add those mint leaves for garnish. Not only does it look fancy, but it adds such a fresh kick!
The best part about this recipe? You can switch up the fruits based on what’s in season or what you’re craving. Sometimes I throw in some dragon fruit when I’m feeling exotic, or some passion fruit if I want to spice things up a bit!
Y’all, this isn’t just a fruit bowl – it’s a vacation for your taste buds in a bowl! It’s perfect for those hot summer afternoons, post-workout refueling, or when you need to trick yourself into eating something healthy (we’ve all been there! 😅).
