Snack Recipe - Fruit Kabobs

Here is a really healthy alternative to sweets such as cupcakes and cookies for kids snacks. These work especially well for School and Day Care events like Birthdays.

Fruit Kabobs

Wooden Skewer Sticks (I used the small ones @4inches)
Suggestions for filling the Kabob:
Strawberries
Pineapple
Grapes
Blueberries
Kiwi
Watermelon
Blackberries
Marshmellows (Explore Fun shapes and flavors)
Cheese

There are lots of different ways to make a great kid friendly kabob treat. First make sure all fruit has been prepped by washing and/or peeling if required. Use your firm fruits or items on the ends to hold everything together and get to putting your items on the stick. If you want to get really creative you can use cookie cutters to create fun shapes with some of your fruit and cheese. Refrigerate if not eating right away but eat and enjoy as soon as possible.
Fruit kabobs can even be dipped in a healthy flavored yogurt dip. Find your favorite flavor of yogurt and get to dipping.

Make Eating Healthy Fun!!



Make Eating Healthy Fun for you and your Family!
Get creative and try to get a variety of 
vegetables & fruits in your diet.















Have kids take the fruits and vegetables and write their names. 
A great alternative to unhealthy vegetable dip is to substitute Fage Greek Yogurt in place of the Sour Cream. Use cookie cutters on the softer fruits like watermelon. 
Get fit, lose weight, be healthy, and be a good example to your kids by making small changes that over time have big results.
