Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make our 5-minute fluffy yogurt fruit salad, you need the following ingredients:

- Yogurt: orange yogurt works best for this creamy salad recipe but you can also use vanilla yogurt as well
- Marshmallows: use a bag of mini marshmallows from the baking aisle, but not the marshmallow fluff
- Oranges: you will need a can of mandarin oranges drained well
- Pineapple: pineapple tidbits from a can, also drained to remove excess liquid
- Banana: cut the banana into thin slices before you add it to the fruit fluff

Recipe Notes
- Storage Suggestions: After serving this fluff salad recipe, place the leftovers in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Yogurt Type: We love to use the orange Chiobani Greek yogurt. I find that the Greek Yogurt makes this salad more fluffy and less runny. You can also use other yogurt flavors too!
- Favorite additions: Customize this salad by adding the following additions – dried bananas, maraschino cherries, or coconut flakes.
- If you use canned fruit, make sure you drain it VERY well or it will make your salad runny.

I have a recipe very similar to this but without the yogurt. I’m going to try this. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
I need to make this…I would love it but my kids would really flip for it!
This looks like it would just hit the spot!! Thanks for the recipe 🙂 Pinned!
I’m excited to be a new follower! I would love you to follow me back
Orange creme yogurt is heaven on earth….. nuff said!
Made it just like the recipe above, added a little toasted coconut to the top.
Was the fruit drained?
Yes! Just like it says in the instructions, you will want to make sure that the fruit is very drained if you use canned fruit or it turns out kind of runny!
I want to try this for our Garden Club potluck. Can I make it the evening before if I drain the fruit really well?
It may get a little runny made the night before. You could always drain off any excess liquid. The good part about this recipe is prep time is only about 5 minutes.
My friend is allergic to pineapple. Is there anything I can substitute for it?
Try substituting strawberries or melon for the pineapple. Or you can omit the pineapple and add more of the oranges and bananas. You can’t go wrong with this recipe!
