Fruit Medley Recipes

It’s the middle of summer and you need food to keep you cool and energized!  I recently tried several fruit medleys as I have been getting hungry at a rapid pace lately.  This is a great alternative to junk or processed food.  It also serves as a wonderful meal for breakfast.

Here are two of my favorite Fruit Medleys:

1. Simply mix the different fruits in a large bowl, add the nuts, add the coconut milk and garnish with mint leaves.
