1 cup strawberries
2 kiwis
1 banana
2 navel oranges

Cut top and bottom off oranges just deep enough to expose innter fruit; following curve of the fruit, cut skin and pith off orange in panels; holding orange over the bowl, cut between membranes to free segments, letting them fall into the bowl as they are cut free. By hand, squeeze all the juice from the remaining membrane over the fruit, then discard.
