Fruit Salad Love.

Happy Thursday Inspire friends!  As the first part of the holiday comes near, we are thinking about recipes and treats to indulge in.  Including myself!  Personal trainers are not exempt from enjoying that sweet treat this time of year.  However, I wanted to share my favorite fruit salad recipe that you can really do anything with and perhaps eat for breakfast before your big gathering or use as a side dish for upcoming parties.  Since I tend to avoid dairy, this has no yogurt topping.  Try to go with what's seasonal at your market and feel good about putting clean and healthy sweets in your body!  These particular fruit choices provide a bunch of texture and flavor to the dish.  Sometimes simple is so good.  Some days I will pair with a piece of toast and peanut butter for extra calories post-run/workout.  Enjoy!

Inspire Fruit Salad
(For 1 serving-increase for larger portion)
1/2 cup raspberries
1 kiwi, diced
1 banana
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup strawberries
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon

Topping
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Simply prepare and slice all fruit.  Toast the coconut and almonds over low heat until lightly browned.  The zest and little bit of sweetness from the coconut is perfect for letting the fruit stand out.  Sometimes I melt and drizzle on a tablespoon of almond butter.  Yum!

In health-

Amy
