Few things in life are better than having healthy food ready when you need it most. That’s why fruit salad in a jar is so genius. Keep a jar of fruit salad in the fridge at all times and your family will have no option but to eat it!

Fruit Salad in a Jar

Fruit Salad in a Jar is the perfect way to get your family eating more fruit on a daily basis. All you have to do is prepare it when you are the least busy and eat it when you are the most busy!

Ingredients

  • 7-8 cups fruit of choice
  • 1 tsp citrus juice up to 1 Tbsp.

Instructions

  1. Choose 4-6 fruits to peel and dice for your fruit salad. Some ideas for fruit are: strawberries, apples, oranges, cantaloupe, honeydew, blueberries, pineapple, kiwis, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, and cherries.

  2. If you are going to be eating this fruit salad throughout the week, leave out any bananas, mangoes, and raspberries/blackberries until you are ready to eat it.

  3. Put all the fruit in one large bowl and add a small amount of citrus juice (1 tsp to 1 Tbsp. or so). Stir well then put into mason jars or other storage containers for the fridge.

Recipe Notes

The fruit salad should fill up at least two quart-sized mason jars.

It should last at least 4 days in the fridge. I've eaten fruit salad like this after 5 or 6 days and it still tastes great.
