Method
Wash berries and fruit, then pat dry with paper towels.
Peel the orange2, banana3, and kiwi4, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the grapes6 lengthwise, removing seeds if needed.
Arrange strawberries1, orange2, banana3, kiwi4, blueberries5, and grapes6 in rainbow arcs by color.
Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 30 minutes to prevent browning.
Tips
- Why it works
- Pat the fruit dry so the slices don't get wet and stick together when you lay out the arcs. Only apples and pears darken, and there are none here, but it's still better not to wash bananas and kiwis ahead of time.
- Substitutions
- Swap the blueberries for thawed frozen cherries (35 g) or bilberries. You can swap the oranges for mandarins, but peel them more carefully, since the pith is bitter.
- Common mistakes
- If the strawberries or bananas darken after 10 minutes, they were cut too thin or not dried. Fix it by adding lemon juice (5 drops per serving).
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 2 hours, or the bananas will go soft. Cut the fruit just before serving if you don't want a gray mush.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or coffee at a kids' party, when you need a quick, bright snack with no sugar.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
