Refreshing Rainbow Fruit Cup – A Colorful, Healthy Snack

I might as well come clean. Today, I did absolutely nothing. No cooking, no dishes, no gardening (which is usually my Sunday routine). Instead, I indulged in a blissful day full of relaxation. I spent the morning reading at a slow pace, sipping on a refreshing glass of cold water even slower. 

I wandered around the garden, soaking in the colors of the blooming flowers and the sounds of the breeze dancing through the trees. I skimmed through a magazine, more interested in the birds chirping than in the words on the page—except for one thing: I discovered a great idea for a fun, healthy snack!

All this quiet time led to the perfect conclusion: a laid-back afternoon picnic on the lawn. Under the shade of a tree, I laid out a comfy picnic rug and invited my taste buds to a refreshing, colorful treat—rainbow fruit cup recipe. Inspired by the colorful simplicity of recipes like these veggie rice balls, these vibrant little cups are easy to prepare, packed with fresh fruit, and are as light and carefree as my day.
