Ingredients

To begin, let’s start by gathering up the ingredients we’ll need to make this Breakfast Fruit Salad. You’ll only need a handful of items. 

  • Plain Yogurt: Plain yogurt adds a deliciously tangy flavor and smooth texture to the fruit salad. I like plain or vanilla but feel free to use whatever flavored yogurt you love. 
  • Honey: Honey brings a touch of sweetness that complements the tartness of the yogurt and the natural sugars in the fruit. 
  • Ground Cinnamon: This warm, aromatic spice adds a cozy depth of flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the fruit salad. It’s the secret ingredient that makes this dish pop.
  • Kosher Salt: Use just a pinch to balance and amplify the flavors of the fruit and yogurt. It’s all about creating that perfect harmony of flavors.
  • Mixed Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries come together to offer a juicy and vibrant mix of flavors and textures. 
  • Banana: Sliced banana adds a creamy, sweet element to round out the variety of textures and flavors in the salad. I love the banana in this recipe but feel free to use whatever fruit you love. Pineapple, apple, raspberries, etc. would be delicious!
