  • Author: neuriox
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

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

Scale
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Thread fruit pieces onto wooden skewers, alternating colors and shapes for a rainbow effect. Leave space at both ends for easy handling.
  4. If fruit slips off, use firmer fruit at the ends of each skewer. Add banana slices last, just before serving.
  5. Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap if not serving immediately.
  6. Spoon chilled yogurt dip into a bowl and place in the center of the platter.
  7. Optional: Garnish kabobs with shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey. Add rainbow sprinkles to the yogurt dip for extra fun.
  8. 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.
