Pina Colada Fruit Salad Recipe

2 small apples
1 med. banana
10 strawberries
1 container light pina colada yogurt

makes 4 servings- about a cup each for about 90 calories each

I am thinking next time I might add some coconut or some pineapple.

This fruit salad is good with any canned or fresh fruits chopped with flavored light yogurt. My other favorite combo uses lemon yogurt.
