Yes, this fruit salad is fabulous! This recipe should probably make about 4 servings (or 8 if you go by the measly serving sizes set by the USDA), but I could almost eat the whole serving bowl myself! This is so good.
Why is this fruit salad fabulous?
In the process of developing this recipe, I had the arduous task of taste-testing this smoothie no less than seven times. It was rough.
