Print Recipe

These festive and healthy fruit kabobs are quick and easy to assemble, perfect for summer celebrations and kid-friendly snacking.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved if large)
  • Red grapes (seedless preferred)
  • Raspberries (optional, for a softer option)
  • Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
  • Banana slices (about 1/2 inch thick, not too ripe to avoid browning)
  • Peeled white grapes
  • Blueberries (washed and dried)
  • Blackberries (optional)
  • Halved purple grapes (that lean blue)
  • Wooden or reusable plastic skewers, about 6 to 8 inches long, kid-safe with blunt ends

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly to avoid slippery kabobs.
  2. Hull and halve large strawberries; slice bananas into about 1/2 inch thick rounds; cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks approximately 1 inch.
  3. Arrange the prepared red, white, and blue fruits in separate bowls or sections on a tray. Place skewers beside them for easy access.
  4. Thread the fruit by alternating red, white, and blue fruit on each skewer. A classic pattern is strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, repeat until the skewer is full (usually 3-4 pieces per color). Leave about an inch at the bottom of the skewer for holding.
  5. Arrange kabobs on a serving plate so the colors pop. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if serving later.
  6. Optionally, drizzle lightly with honey or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy twist, or serve with a yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before use to prevent splintering or burning. Assemble banana slices last to avoid browning. Supervise children when using skewers for safety. For variations, add marshmallows or cheese cubes, or try grilling kabobs briefly for a warm flavor.
