If your're unsure on how to cut the fruit, go through steps 2-6 otherwise go to step 7.

If you're worried about the center you can vut that section out. To cut out the center look for the sction that's solid and lighter in color. Another way is if its hard to cut then its hard to chew or you can cut a small piece and taste it.

Peel the banana. Cut into half sections. Put into sandwich bags.

Cut off one side of the mango. Be careful not to cut too close to the center. Cut vertical and horiztonal lines to make squares. Push Mango up. Then cut off the cubes. Put into a sandwich bag.
