A Basket of Fruit is the Perfect Picnic Dessert

If you’re looking for the perfect picnic dessert for lazy summer picnics look no further. A basket of fruit is the perfect dessert for summer picnics. Bright citrus fruit is sweet and healthy and is packed with the vitamins and minerals that your kids and loved ones need to stay healthy. A shot of orange or grapefruit juice on a hot summer day will help keep everyone hydrated and ward off heat exhaustion. Plus, the natural sugars in the fruit are easy to digest and will give everyone a nice jolt of energy after a big meal. If you want a dessert that will give your friends and family the fuel they need to keep playing and enjoying the great summer weather then a basket of citrus fruits is the dessert you need.

A basket of fruit is a simple but elegant dessert that is easy to transport anywhere. Whether you’re walking to the picnic or carrying all the food and beverages in the car you won’t need to worry about the fruit. Pick a basket with a large handle and you can carry your citrus fruit anywhere. Because oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruits come wrapped in a natural peel they are perfect for outdoor eating. If they fall or get dropped on the ground they can still be eaten. The peel comes off easily but is great protection for the fruit. The peel is easy to dispose of and is biodegradable. Even small children can peel an orange by themselves so you don’t have to worry about them making a mess, and since citrus fruits can be peeled and eaten in segments you don’t have to worry about bringing along knives or plates to serve dessert. Simply place the basket on the ground or pass it around and let everyone choose their favorite fruit.

If you want a dessert that incorporates more than just fruit choose a basket of fruit that has packages of gourmet flavored nuts included. Nuts are a great protein rich snack that are easy for kids to carry and eat and won’t make a huge mess. Citrus fruit baskets that include sugar jelly candies are also great for picnics because the sweet candies can easily fit into pockets to snack on later, just make sure the wrappers don’t end up everywhere. Make sure that you always have a basket of fruit on hand so that when the kids want to go on an impromptu picnic you can grab the basket and head out for an adventure.
