Introduction:
A Rainbow Fruit Cup is one of the simplest ways to make healthy eating feel fun. With bright layers of fresh
fruit—reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples—these cups look like a celebration in a jar. They’re naturally sweet,
refreshing, and packed with vitamins and fiber, which makes them perfect for kids, parties, school lunches, or quick snacks
when you want something light but satisfying.
The beauty of a rainbow fruit cup is how flexible it is. You can use whatever fruit is in season, what your family loves, or
what you already have in the fridge. The “rainbow” idea is really about color variety, which usually also means nutrient
variety. And if you add a simple honey-lime drizzle or a creamy yogurt layer, the whole cup tastes like a dessert—without
needing anything heavy.
These cups are also ideal for meal prep. You can assemble a batch in small containers and keep them chilled for a few days.
Then you’ve got grab-and-go freshness ready anytime. If you’re serving a crowd, you can set up a fruit “bar” and let everyone
build their own rainbow—fun, interactive, and surprisingly beautiful.
