Description
These colorful fruit kabobs with creamy yogurt dip are a quick, healthy, and fun snack perfect for kids and adults alike. Fresh fruit is threaded onto skewers and served with a tangy, lightly sweetened Greek yogurt dip for a hands-on treat that’s great for parties, playdates, or everyday snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup seedless grapes (red, green, or black)
- 1 cup cantaloupe, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup honeydew melon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced (optional, add just before serving)
- 1 apple, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (tossed with lemon juice)
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced thick
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- Lemon juice (for tossing apple and banana slices)
- Wooden skewers, 6 to 8-inch
Instructions
- Wash and prep all fruit: rinse, dry, hull, halve, cube, peel, and slice as needed. Toss apple and banana pieces with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) until smooth and creamy. Chill in the fridge while assembling kabobs.
- Thread fruit pieces onto wooden skewers, alternating colors and shapes for a rainbow effect. Leave space at both ends for easy handling.
- If fruit slips off, use firmer fruit at the ends of each skewer. Add banana slices last, just before serving.
- Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap if not serving immediately.
- Spoon chilled yogurt dip into a bowl and place in the center of the platter.
- Optional: Garnish kabobs with shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey. Add rainbow sprinkles to the yogurt dip for extra fun.
- Serve kabobs chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; yogurt dip keeps for 3-4 days.
Notes
For best results, cut fruit into uniform chunks and keep chilled until serving. Soak wooden skewers in water for 5 minutes to prevent splintering. Customize kabobs with seasonal fruits or dairy-free yogurt. Add banana and apple just before serving to prevent browning. Yogurt dip can be flavored with cinnamon or orange juice for variety.
