Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Core and dice the apple into small bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra nutrients.
Peel and slice the banana into thin round slices.
Peel the orange, and separate it into segments. Remove any seeds and cut the segments into smaller pieces if they are too large.
Rinse the grapes and remove them from their stems. Slice them in half if they are large.
Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops) and chop them into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fruits.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit mixture to prevent browning and to add a refreshing tang.
If using, drizzle honey over the fruits and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Transfer the fruit bowl to a serving dish and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
