Prepare the mixed fruits by washing and drying them with a paper towel.

Add 1 container of blueberries to a large bowl.

Add 2 stems of green grapes to the bowl.

Cut 1 container of strawberries into bite-sized pieces, removing the stems and tough white parts, and add to the bowl.

Chop 1 honey crisp apple into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl, adding it last to prevent browning.

Add the juice of half a lemon to the fruit to keep the apples fresh.

Transfer the mixed fruit to a larger bowl for mixing.

Gently toss the fruit with the lemon juice to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 box of vanilla instant pudding mix with 1.5 cups of milk and 0.5 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt, mixing until the pudding dissolves and thickens.

Dollop the pudding mixture over the fruit and gently fold it in using a silicone spatula to avoid bruising the fruit.

Transfer the mixed fruit salad back to the original serving bowl.

If desired, add sliced bananas just before serving to prevent them from getting mushy.
