Start with a solid base. Choose a large board to give each item breathing room. Go for wood, or ceramic for a clean aesthetic.

Anchor with your protein + dairy. Place sharp cheddar cheese in one or two spots to ground the board with a savory, satisfying element.

Add crunch with nuts. Distribute small clusters of almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and pecans across the board. These provide healthy fats and texture.

Layer in fresh produce. Balance flavor and color with fresh rainbow carrots, quartered mini cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, kumquats, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, mango, and clementines. Fan or pile fruit for color blocks; arrange veggies in bunches or mini rows.

Bring in natural sweetness. Add chewy, nutrient-rich elements like dates, dried pineapple, dried apricots, goji berries, dried cranberries, and pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle these in between fresh items to fill small gaps.

Finish with a treat. Tuck in Milk Chocolate Muddy Bites as a fun, sweet surprise to balance the healthy bites and satisfy cravings.
