A quick, healthy, and colorful snack featuring fresh fruit kabobs paired with a creamy yogurt dip, perfect for busy weeknights and kid-approved.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries (about 150g), hulled and halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (about 165g)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes (about 150g), red or green
  • 1 cup melon cubes (about 160g; cantaloupe or honeydew)
  • 1 medium banana, sliced (optional, add just before serving)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g), plain, full-fat or 2%
  • 1 tablespoon honey (21g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all your fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries, cut pineapple and melon into bite-sized chunks (about 1 to 1½ inches), slice the banana, and rinse grapes. Pat all dry with paper towels to keep the kabobs from slipping off the skewers.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest if using. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Set aside.
  3. Thread fruit pieces onto the wooden skewers, alternating colors and shapes for a fun, colorful look. Start with a strawberry half, then pineapple, grape, melon, and finish with another grape or strawberry for balance. Each skewer should have a bit of everything.
  4. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. If chilling, add banana slices just before serving to avoid browning.

Notes

[‘Pat fruit dry to prevent kabobs from slipping off skewers.’, ‘Add banana slices last to avoid browning or toss with lemon juice.’, ‘Use plain Greek yogurt for better flavor control; flavored yogurts may overpower the fruit.’, ‘For grilling, soak skewers in water for 10 minutes and grill 2-3 minutes per side on medium heat.’, ‘Try adding cinnamon or chopped fresh mint to the yogurt dip for a twist.’, ‘Swap fruits based on season or preference; frozen berries can be used if thawed and patted dry.’, ‘Make it vegan by using coconut or almond milk yogurt and substituting honey with maple syrup or agave.’]
