Ingredients
2 pints raspberries, washed
2 pints blueberries, washed
2 pounds strawberries, washed
1 bag cherries, washed 
24 ounces pretzels
2 cups powdered sugar
4 cups plain Greek yogurt
3 cups vanilla protein powder
4–7 drops Wild Orange oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
2. Combine the sugar, yogurt, protein powder, and Wild Orange essential oil.
3. Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture one at a time, using chopsticks or tongs.
4. Arrange the coated pretzels on a wire cooking rack with a baking sheet underneath it.
5. Turn the oven off and put in the wire rack and baking sheet.
6. Leave the oven door slightly ajar.
7. After several hours, when the coating is hardened and set, take the pretzels out of the oven.
   
   Note: Make sure to fill the stripes with stacked fruit and pretzels, since abundance looks best.
