My Top 5 Fruits and What They Say About My Mood (and Maybe Yours Too)

I’m not saying fruit is a personality test… but if you hand me a banana when I’m craving a strawberry, we’re going to have problems.

So in the spirit of today’s prompt — and because someone needed to hear this:

Fruit Salad Is Not A Replacement For Therapy, But It’s A Decent Start

…..here are my top 5 favorite fruits and what they reveal about my vibe lately:

1. Strawberries

Sweet, slightly dramatic, and guaranteed to stain everything red — just like my emotions. If it were socially acceptable, I’d carry whipped cream in my bag like pepper spray. These little beauties scream main character energy.

2. Pineapple

Spiky on the outside, full of sunshine on the inside. Honestly, it’s the fruit version of setting boundaries while still being a delight. I may look unapproachable some days, but slice into me and there’s pure hospitality (and maybe a splash of rum).

Plus, pineapples might be a little too confident. Just saying. Why Pineapples Are Secretly Plotting World Domination might open your eyes. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

3. Blueberries

Tiny antioxidant powerhouses that remind me that good things do come in small packages. They also represent order and calm… and the fact that I’m trying (emphasis on trying) to keep my life together in a way that would make Pinterest proud.

4. Watermelon

Is it even summer if you haven’t had watermelon juice running down your arm while pretending to be hydrated? This one makes the list not just for flavor, but for nostalgia. It tastes like sprinklers, flip-flops, and the feeling that anything is possible before Labor Day.

5. Bananas

Let’s be real — this one is here for reliability. It’s the fruit version of dry shampoo: unglamorous but clutch. Also, if you freeze them and blend them with cocoa powder, you’re basically a wizard. Banana magic is real.

P.P.S. Yes, we have recipes too, because I believe in fruit in all its forms — topical, tropical, and slightly ridiculous.
