Note

The skins of the apple and orange can be removed if a smoother texture is preferred, though leaving them on adds fiber and color.

For best results, consume the fruit cup immediately after mixing or within a few hours to prevent the fruit from becoming too soggy or oxidizing.

You can substitute other fruits such as pears, grapes, or berries for variety.
