Fresh and Simple Fruit Cocktail
For this week’s snack box I decided to make a fruit cocktail of my own. I was trying to decide what fruit I wanted to use and I couldn’t pick just one. I thought of buying fruit cocktail in the can, but after reading the ingredients list, and seeing all the added sugar I decided against it! So I figured I needed to get a little creative. I thought of fruits I like and threw them together! Let me tell you something! My fruit cocktail was amazing! So, you may be wondering what fruits I used. Well, listed below are the ingredients and steps used to make this wonderful, simple, and fresh, no sugar added fruit cocktail
Ingredients:
Watermelon
Mango
Kiwi
Cherries
Raspberries
The process
- Cut your cherries in half and remove the seeds. Place the cherries in a medium sized bowl once the seeds are removed
- Cut the watermelon however you desire. I chose to make watermelon balls by using a “Melon Baller” If you don’t know what this is, or you are interested in purchasing on click HERE.
- Cut all the other fruit how you desire and place the fruit in the same bowl you placed the cherries in.
- If the bowl has a lid place the lid on the bowl and gently shake it in order to move the fruit around. You can also gently stir the fruit around the bowl with a spoon. This step is just to ensure the fruit is nicely distributed so you aren’t just eating all the cherries at one time and so on.
- Enjoy
The other items featured in the snack box this week are:
White Cheddar Cubes and Smoked Turkey sausage
Seaweed Snacks
Trail Mix
When I eat my seaweed snacks around other people they are always curious about them. The main question I receive is, “What is that?” and “what does that taste like?” Well it’s kind of hard to describe the taste. I will normally just offer one. Most times people will decline because they are afraid. I personally think the seaweed snacks are delicious! They are also very healthy! If you are interested in trying them they are cheap. I get mine from Trader Joes and pay $0.99 for a pack. You can check them out and purchase them HERE.
The trail mix was kind of just put together by me. I found different trail mixes at Trader Joes and Publix and I mixed them together.
