Yummy Fruit Salad

Okay, I know- it's only day 3 and you're already tired of fresh fruit. But just give it a try- it really is pretty great!

1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of grapes- I used green, and I cut them all in half
2 cutie oranges- peeled, separated, and cut into thirds (mandarin oranges might work here, I didn't check the label)
1/2 cup pineapple chunks- Dole are daniel fast friendly
Organic unsweetened coconut (optional)
Sliced almonds (walnuts would be yummy instead)
2 bananas cubed
1 tbs apple juice concentrate

1. Mix all the fruits together, EXCEPT the bananas.
2. Add the coconut and nuts.
3. Toss the bananas and apple juice concentrate in a blender (or I use a magic bullet) and blend until smooth.
4. Drizzle the banana sauce over individual servings, or just mix it into the whole bowl.

*Make ahead directions: Complete through step 2 saving steps 3 and 4 for RIGHT before serving as the bananas will brown quickly.

This makes a great breakfast, or even dessert :)
