Naturally sweet, refreshing, and full of nutrients—fruit for snacks is one of the easiest ways to support your health with real energy and flavor.

Ingredients

  • Apples – sliced or whole
  • Bananas – peeled or paired with nut butter
  • Grapes – fresh or frozen
  • Strawberries – fresh or dipped in yogurt
  • Blueberries – perfect for trail mix or parfaits
  • Watermelon – cubed or blended for hydration
  • Oranges or mandarins – peeled for convenience
  • Pineapple – fresh chunks or grilled for extra flavor
  • Mango – fresh or blended into sorbet
  • Mixed berries – for smoothies, yogurt bowls, or snacking

Instructions

  1. Choose your favorite fresh fruit based on season or preference.
  2. Wash thoroughly and prep—slice apples, peel oranges, or freeze grapes if desired.
  3. Pair with protein: add nut butter, yogurt, cottage cheese, or seeds to balance the snack.
  4. Pack in airtight containers for easy grab-and-go snacking.
  5. For creative ideas, try fruit skewers, baked apple chips, or blended frozen banana ‘nice cream.’
  6. Rotate seasonal fruits to keep variety and ensure a range of nutrients.
  7. Use silicone molds to freeze blended fruit for healthy popsicles or mix into muffins for baked snacks.
  8. Store extra prepped fruit in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer use.

Notes

Keep fruits visible and ready to eat in your fridge or on the counter to make smart snacking easier. Pairing fruit with protein helps sustain energy longer.
