How to Make Lower Fat Ambrosia

  1. Wash and prepare all fruits: Peel and segment oranges and mandarins, dice the apples and bananas, and halve or quarter the strawberries as needed.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, gently combine 2 cups of diced apples, 1 cup of segmented oranges, 1 cup of segmented mandarins, 1 cup of halved strawberries, and 1/2 cup of diced bananas.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a vegan option) and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  4. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, give the fruit salad a gentle stir.
  7. Serve chilled in individual parfait glasses or bowls. Garnish with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch of elegance.
