Though ingesting plant fertilizer increases the probability of lush and verdant tummy sprouts, consuming fruit just makes you sweeter. Fill up on super fresh fare with today's Groupon: for $3, you get $6 worth of fresh salads, frozen bars, and fruit-based treats at The Fruit Palette.

Aiming to up the availability of hand-plucked, juicy goodness, The Fruit Palette incorporates fresh, never-frozen fruit in all its selections. Fresh fruit crepes can be crafted in accordance with your dreams with create-your-own-crepe options ($3.99), while The Fruit Palette's hot chocolate, made from all-natural cocoa, provides a tummy-warming alternative to swallowing lava ($2.99 for 16 ounces). On the original menu you'll find 16-ounce fruit-spiked waters, including exotic aqua with strawberry, coconut, or pineapple ($2.99 to $3.49) or try a 24-ounce premium pour with watermelon, lime, and melon ($3.29 to $3.69). For heartier fixes, opt for a green salad ($6.50)—go for the avocado passion with goat cheese, grapefruit, red onion, orange, and mixed romaine tossed with lime vinaigrette; or try the signature salad with strawberry, feta cheese, candied walnuts, and jicama (a sweet edible root). You'll also find fruit salads ($5.99), more than 20 flavors of frozen fruit bars ($3.29 to $3.69), and fruit teas.

Reviews

The Fruit Palette has been featured in Houston Press and Yelpers give it a 3.5-star average:

• Handmade daily with fresh fruit and natural juice, these portable pops are lightly sweet and wonderfully refreshing. You'll find a chunk or two of actual fruit in there, a welcome reminder that this heavenly treat started the day as mere produce. – Ruthie Johnson, Houston Press
• Salads were the last thing I discovered but they're awesome. Anytime I want a light lunch or light healthy snack I come here for one of their salads. Again, awesome stuff!!! – Dave L., Yelp
