It really is very simple and the children will love it. I would just bring the whipped cream and dollop it as you hand out the cups. In our school snack time is at 9:30am- so the kids are celebrating with cookies and cupcakes and getting all that sugar first thing in the morning. This was so delicious!! Chopped nuts, shaved chocolate or toasted coconut would also be fantastic! Walgreens Circular is a great source of healthy snacks. I also topped with sprinkles because everything is better with sprinkles- #obv. If you want to make something a little sweeter (for say a birthday party)- I mixed up some fresh whipped cream and added a nice dollop on top. Poke a fork in the straw hole and you have a treat with a lot of wow factor. The next morning right before the party I just layered all the fruit in little cups and I found some plastic cups that came with lids. I just cut up all the fruit the night before- and for little ones I diced the fruit for small bite size pieces. Layer it all at the last minute to keep the colors nice and bright.I used tangerines for the orange layer but mango would be fantastic as well or cantaloupe.I would avoid apples and bananas for the yucky browning factor.Purple grapes would be a great addition if you use honeydew or kiwi for the green layer.I used Kiwi to create my green layer and found it didn’t hold up nearly as well as the green grapes (sliced in half).I ran low on fruit and had a few cups that were just raspberries, pineapple and grapes and they still looked great. I found that 3 colors or more is best and you can use any fruit that is in season. The first option is just to layer several kids of fruit into little clear plastic cups. I have two ways to serve the fruit cups and I can tell you first hand I ate two of these today so they are delicious. It is so quick and so easy and this would be a great option for birthday parties or class parties as an alternative to sweets. I love these fruit cups because they are so lovely in person- my little girls were THRILLED to see these come out of the fridge. I made some cute little fruit cups for my daughter’s preschool class party today and wanted to pass along this idea.
