Week Four: Fruit Salad and Smoothie
By Laura Olinger
It’s the easiest way to approach the fruit fast, and a good way to do something different than just apples and bananas. This salad is great because the fruit is not culinary fruit (vs. botanical fruit) and feels substantial and satisfying. The smoothie is a great kick start to the day! Last week’s Banana Ice Cream is also a great addition to this fruit fast!
