Summertime Fruit Salad
[blue_heading] Summertime Fruit Salad $0.55 per cup [/blue_heading]
I’ve been thinking about this blog a lot and I have decided to limit the amount of text within my recipes. Not that I don’t thoroughly enjoy adding a little back story to my recipes, I feel it’s just gonna make for a better blog to keep it short and sweet in today’s time constraint world.
With that idea in mind, here is my recipe for a summertime fruit salad. It’s cheap, it’s healthy, and it’s simple; just the sort of thing you will find plenty of here on Cheapstir.
This recipe makes a lot of fruit salad so feel free to cut the recipe in half if you are not planning on hosting a party lol.
* Two very optional things to mention:
1) I used Cool Whip Lite, it’s okay but by all means get the regular Cool Whip for an even better treat.
2) Again, I used marshmallows in my recipe, but it’s totally okay to leave them out and add some nuts instead.

- Slice the tops off the strawberries and then slice into smaller bits.

- *Adding marshmallows decreases the healthiness, but increases the happiness. =D
