- 0.25 cup Mint leaves

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Wash and dry the mixed berries. Hull and slice the strawberries if they are larger in size.
Peel and slice the banana into coins.
Core and dice the apple into small cubes to match the size of the other fruit pieces.
In a separate large bowl, combine the prepared fruit: mixed berries, banana slices, apple cubes, and pineapple chunks.
Gently fold in the creamy mixture from the first step into the fruit, ensuring the fruits are evenly coated with the cream.
Sprinkle chia seeds over the top of the fruit salad and gently mix them in for a boost of fiber and omega-3s.
Finely chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit salad for added freshness and to prevent the fruits from browning.
