Rainbow Fruit Skewers
Rainbow Fruit Skewers are a colorful, delicious snack made with fresh fruits like blueberries, kiwis, watermelon, and more. Quick to assemble and naturally sweet, they’re perfect for parties or a fun kids’ activity.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 medium kiwis
- ⅓ watermelon
- ½ cantaloupe melon
- 1 medium mango
- 2 peaches
- 2 medium bananas
Instructions
Prepare Your Fruits:
- Rinse all fruits thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
- Peel the kiwis, mango, and bananas, and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut the watermelon and cantaloupe into cubes or use a melon baller for a rounded shape.
- Slice the peaches into wedges or chunks. Ensure the blueberries and raspberries are whole and firm.
Assemble the Skewers:
- Lay out the prepared fruit in the order you’d like to display the rainbow (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, kiwis, watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, peaches, and bananas).
- Gently thread the fruits onto the skewers, being careful not to squish softer fruits like bananas and raspberries. Alternate colors to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
- Arrange the completed skewers on a platter for serving. You can fan them out in a circle or place them in neat rows for a striking visual effect.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve as is, or pair the skewers with a side of yogurt, honey drizzle, or melted chocolate for dipping.
- These skewers are best enjoyed fresh but can be made up to a few hours in advance. If prepping ahead, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate to keep the fruit crisp and juicy.
