# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes but feels like you spent hours fussing in the kitchen.
  • The citrus syrup wakes up each fruit's natural sweetness without drowning anything in sugar.
  • It's naturally vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, so everyone at your table can enjoy it guilt-free.
02 -
  • Don't add bananas or apples until just before serving—they'll brown and turn the whole bowl sad.
  • If your citrus syrup tastes harsh, you used bottled juice; fresh juice makes all the difference in how this comes together.
03 -
  • Chill your serving bowl for ten minutes before adding the fruit—that small detail keeps everything crisp longer than you'd expect.
  • The secret nobody talks about: a tiny sprinkle of fleur de sel on fruit amplifies its natural sweetness and makes people ask what the ingredient is.
