Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Strawberries Frozen
  • 1 cup Blueberries Frozen
  • 1 cup Mango Frozen chunks

  • 2 Kiwis
  • 1 can Pineapple 15 ounces; canned chunks in juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Mint Leaves Optional

Instructions

  • Thaw frozen fruit in the refrigerator until no longer hard, but still cool to the touch.
  • Drain canned pineapple, reserving juice.
  • Peel and slice bananas and kiwis.
  • In a large bowl, add bananas, kiwis, pineapple, and thawed fruit. Mix.
  • In a small pot over medium heat, add reserved pineapple juice. Stir. Heat until juice thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Allow juice to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Notes

  • Use any fruits you like. To cut costs, choose fruits in season or on sale. Choose frozen and canned fruit in juice and with no added sugar.
  • To toast coconut: Heat oven to 300°F. Place coconut shreds on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 5 minutes or until light brown.
  • Try serving for breakfast. Use as a topping for oatmeal or plain, nonfat yogurt.
  • Use leftover frozen fruit in fruit smoothies.
