Print Recipe

Quick, colorful, and packed with real fruit, these rainbow fruit kabobs are the perfect after-school snack that kids love to help make. No cooking required, just fresh fruit on a stick for a fun and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup pineapple, cubed
  • 2 kiwi, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup green grapes, seedless
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup purple grapes or blackberries
  • 8–10 wooden skewers (8-inch)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Hull strawberries and slice in half lengthwise. Peel kiwi and cut into thick rounds (about ½-inch), then halve each round. Peel orange and separate into segments; cut large segments in half crosswise. Cube pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Leave grapes and blueberries whole.
  3. Arrange prepped fruit in rainbow order on a cutting board: red (strawberries), orange (oranges), yellow (pineapple), green (kiwi and green grapes), blue (blueberries), purple (purple grapes or blackberries).
  4. Thread fruit onto skewers in rainbow order, starting with a strawberry (flat side down) and ending with a purple grape or blackberry. Leave about ½ inch of space at the bottom of the skewer for easy holding.
  5. Repeat until all fruit is used, making 8-10 kabobs.
  6. Optional: Refrigerate kabobs for 10-15 minutes to chill and enhance flavors.
  7. Serve immediately, arranged on a platter or standing upright in a tall glass.

Notes

Let kids help with skewering for a fun activity. For toddlers, snap skewers in half or use plastic straws for safety. Pat fruit dry to prevent slipping. Prep fruit ahead of time and store in separate containers in the fridge for quick assembly. Use firm, ripe fruit for best results.
