Fruit Salad from Heaven image

This is my absolute favorite fruit salad. When I take it to church, the bowl is always left clean and nobody knows it's not made with sugar. It's such an easy way to get my fruit fill for the day. This can be used as a diabetic diet fruit exchange; 1 fruit exchange for this is one cup. NOTE: You should use as much fresh fruit as possible. The only thing from a can is pineapple and peaches (and cherries - fresh cherries don't work for this). This salad also should not be prepared until right before serving if at all possible. Refrigerate all the fruit except the bananas. Cooking time is chill time.
