FRUIT CUPS

Steps:

• Without draining any of the fruit, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Spoon by the cupful into 9 oz. cups and freeze until firm. (Package in plastic airtight bags or cover with plastic wrap for long-term storage).
• Remove from freezer about 15 minutes prior to serving. I like to serve them when they are slushy but still frozen.

EASY BREAKFAST YOGURT AND FRUIT CUPS

Steps:

• To make the compote, simply place the fruit, sweetener and lemon/lime juice (and vanilla if you're making the strawberry compote) in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the fruit has broken down and the compote has thickened slightly. Keep in mind that it will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Remove the compote from the heat and allow to cool.
• Layer with the Greek yogurt in sealable jars/containers and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

HOMEMADE FRUIT CUPS

Steps:

• Divide the fruit into four water-tight, lidded lunch containers.
• Fill each container with enough lemonade to almost cover the fruit. You might need more liquid, depending on the container size.
• Close the lid, and give it a quick shake to coat all the fruit with the lemonade.

• Cut out 21 hearts from the honeydew melon.
