In order to satisfy my sweet tooth and still cut out calories (think ice cream type calories), I opted for a fresh fruit salad. I made this one for my best friend's baby shower and then ate on the leftovers for days. I included tart strawberries, crisp green grapes, sweet mandarin oranges, tropical pineapple slices, refreshing watermelon chunks, delicious cantaloupe pieces, tangy green apple bites, and tasty bits of banana. (Note - The banana should be added fresh daily to keep from browning.) It was delectable and packed in tons of vitamins.
I sometimes make this scrumptious and nutritious dessert for me and the carnivore too. Of course, in order to encourage him to eat this much fruit I usually top it with fresh whipped cream. He'll eat anything covered in whipped cream. But me, I am fine with it just plain...especially when it is bikini season!
Looks as good as I remembered. Me and Baby loved it!!
