Grinch Fruit Kabobs!

We see this one pop up at our Kids Eat Smart Clubs each year.  It’s a fun festive way to enjoy fruit and get kids excited about Christmas.  It’s an easy and fun concept. There is some prep work needed but this is a great one to get the kids involved in helping out  – little hands make a great help.  Adults can prepare and slice the fruit and the kids can help assemble.

Grinch Fruit Kabobs

What you’ll need: 

• strawberries
• bananas
• green grapes
• mini marshmallows
• toothpicks

Directions:

1. Cut the greens and stems off the strawberries to make a flat surface.
2. Slice off the top of the green grapes to make a flat surface.
3. Slice the bananas into 3 millimeter slices (do one banana at a time to avoid them turning brown or squeeze some orange juice over them to keep them from discoloring).
4. On a toothpick or mini plastic skewer place one grape (flat side up), slice of banana, strawberry (flat side meeting banana) and finally the mini marshmallow on top.
