All you have to do is mix one cup of any of these fruit in one cup of milk, one tablespoon full of honey and some ice cubes. You can even combine these fruits for a more interesting taste.

Tropical Fruit Salad
One of the best tasting fruit salads is made using tropical fruits. All you have to do is clean and chop your tropical fruit into bite sized pieces. A good example of a tropical fruit salad is a combination of one cup each or chopped mango, pineapple, papaya and kiwi fruit. Add in half a cup of coconut shavings with half a cup of pineapple juice, a quarter of a cup of orange juice and 1 tablespoon honey, pour over salad and toss.
Salsa
Pineapples, papayas, and mangos are especially delicious when mixed into a salsa. More importantly, mangos seem to blend really well with other ingredients in salsa such as cilantro and jalapeno peppers. You can serve your fruit salsa with tortilla chips, fish or chicken.
Grilled Tropical Fruits
Grilled tropical fruits make a good accompaniment to grilled meat and fish. Just skewer different combination of these fruits and warm them over the grill for a short time on each side. Serve a skewered pineapple with chicken that was marinated in a sauce made with pineapple juice. Grilled swordfish tastes exceptionally good with a grilled papaya as a side dish, while salmon and shrimp is just perfect with grilled mangos.
