Storage

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just know that the longer it sits, the more the fruits will release their juices, which can make it a bit soggy, so best to eat it fresh if you can!

Freezer Friendly

Now, about freezing? I wouldn’t recommend it. The texture of fresh fruit just doesn’t hold up well in the freezer. You want that crisp, refreshing bite when you indulge!
