Easy Fruit Salad

The amount of Calories/servings all depend on what you put into the fruit salad. This is one of those "throw together" foods thats different every time I make it. The only consistent ingredient is the cool whip. haha! For sake of example, this is what I made today and what the calories turned out to be.


Serving - 1 CUP or 150 grams
Calories: 130.........Carbs: 30.........Fiber: 3.........Fat: 0
.........Protein: 1.........Sugar: 15.........Sodium: 20

Weight Watcher Points: 3

Ingredients - Makes 7 servings
2 large bananas
4 small kiwi
8 medium strawberries
2 medium oranges
1 8 oz tub fat free cool whip (15 calories/serving)- Leave in fridge so that its soft, does not work with frozen cool whip!

Directions
1) Slice up all fruit into bite sizes pieces. (I personally like throwing oranges in as wedges, one because its easier, two because it holds in all the juice)

2) Fold in cool whip. Try to not over mix or your cool whip will get watery.

3) Enjoy! Keeps in the fridge in a container for about 1 week.



Other ideas - its all about experimentation
Any fruit, pineapple, apples, grapes, melons, cherries, blueberries (blueberries will turn it purple, and I don't recommend watermelon because its so juicy it doesn't mix as nicely)
Mix in 1 cup marshmallows
Mix in coconut
Mix in some chopped nuts
Swirl in some sugar free chocolate syrup or caramel
