This simple fruit salad is not only delicious but also a powerhouse of nutrients, especially antioxidants! A yummy fruit salad is a colorful addition to mealtimes! Check out why we chose this particular blend of fruits for our antioxidant-rich salad:

Blackberries and raspberries are particularly rich in antioxidants, which help to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants can help reduce inflammation, lower the risk of chronic diseases, and promote overall health.


Apples provide a good amount of dietary fiber, which is essential for digestive health. They also contain vitamin C, which supports the immune system and skin health.


Bananas are a fantastic source of potassium, which is crucial for maintaining healthy blood pressure and proper muscle function. Adding lime juice not only enhances the flavor but also provides a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants, further promoting your overall health.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 apples, diced
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime

Directions

Rinse the blackberries and raspberries and apples thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2
