Healthy or Indulgent
In addition to being incredibly fast and easy, this whipped cream fruit salad recipe is a great healthy dessert or snack option. I love using fresh fruit and a bit of Splenda to sweeten the whipped cream instead of sugar.
However, this fruit salad does taste absolutely amazing with some canned fruit and sugar to sweeten it up. The best part about this recipe is that you can make it as healthy or as indulgent as you want!

Preparing The Fruit
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the size of the chunks of fruit in their fruit salad. My advice to you is, cut them however large or small you want! For this recipe in particular, we halved the strawberries and the cherries.
We then cut both the pineapple and peaches into chunks. Lastly, we sliced the bananas into circular pieces with a medium thickness. When cutting your fruit, don’t overthink it! As long as the pieces are fairly bite sized, there’s no right or wrong way to do it!
