Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings, I’ve perfected this gorgeous, Instagram-worthy fruit bowl that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
This isn’t your basic fruit salad, honey. We’re creating a masterpiece that’ll make you feel like you’re treating yourself at a fancy café – but in your PJs!
What You’ll Need:
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 ripe mango, cubed
• 1 dragon fruit, scooped into balls (fancy, right?)
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 kiwi, sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup granola
• 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Optional: A dollop of Greek yogurt
Girl, let me walk you through this…
Step 1: Grab your prettiest bowl (because we eat with our eyes first!)
Step 2: Start with layering your mango at the bottom – it’s like creating a sunny foundation
Step 3: Add your strawberries and blueberries in sections (think color blocking, but with fruit!)
Step 4: Place your dragon fruit balls strategically – they’re the star of the show
Step 5: Sprinkle your kiwi slices around
Step 6: Drizzle that honey like you’re Jackson Pollock
Step 7: Top with granola and coconut flakes for that perfect crunch
Step 8: Finish with mint leaves for that _chef’s kiss_ moment
Speaking of perfect moments, if you’re loving this recipe as much as I do, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance!
Pro tip: Want to make this ahead? Prep everything but wait to add the granola and honey until you’re ready to eat. Nobody likes soggy granola – that’s just sad.
The best part? This bowl is totally customizable! Sometimes I swap dragon fruit for passion fruit when I’m feeling extra tropical, or add a handful of raspberries when I want to feel fancy. And let’s be real – sometimes I add a little dark chocolate because… well, do we really need a reason for chocolate?
Y’all, I can’t tell you how many times this has saved me from reaching for those chips hiding in the back of my pantry. It’s sweet enough to satisfy those midnight cravings but won’t have you regretting your life choices in the morning.
