_Sips my afternoon tea_ Ladies, let me tell you about my absolute favorite guilt-free afternoon delight that’ll make you feel like you’re indulging at a fancy resort! This isn’t your basic fruit bowl – we’re taking it to the next level with a combination that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance.
Trust me, as someone who’s tried every “healthy” snack under the sun, this 5-star fruit bowl is a game-changer. It’s perfect for those 3 PM cravings when you want something sweet but don’t want to feel sluggish afterward.
What You’ll Need:
• 1 cup fresh mango chunks (because we’re fancy like that!)
• 1/2 cup plump blueberries
• 1 sliced kiwi
• 1/2 cup juicy strawberries
• 2 tablespoons honey-roasted pecans
• 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon honey
• A sprinkle of mint leaves (optional, but so worth it!)
Girl, let me walk you through this…
Instructions:
1. Start by choosing a gorgeous bowl (presentation is everything, honey!)
2. Layer your mango chunks at the bottom – they’re like little squares of sunshine
3. Add your blueberries and strawberries around the edges
4. Place your kiwi slices in a pretty circular pattern
5. Now for the magic – sprinkle those honey-roasted pecans and coconut flakes
6. Drizzle that honey like you’re creating art
7. Finish with mint leaves if you’re feeling extra fancy

The secret to making this bowl extra special is letting the fruits sit together for about 5 minutes before eating. This lets all those gorgeous flavors mingle – kind of like a tasty little cocktail party in your bowl!
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping, keep the nuts and coconut separate until you’re ready to eat. Nobody likes soggy toppings, am I right?
You can also customize this beauty based on what’s in season. Sometimes I’ll throw in some passion fruit if I’m feeling tropical, or add some pomegranate seeds when I want to feel extra bougie.
