• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup flaked coconut

Combine oranges, pineapple and banana slices.

Combine the honey and lemon juice; pour over fruit.

Add remaining ingredients and stir gently to mix.

Refrigerate overnight.

Gently toss before serving and sprinkle with additional coconut for garnish if you like.
