Ingredients
4servings
  • 250 g strawberrieshulled and halved
  • 2 medium mandarin orangespeeled and separated into segments
  • 200 g pineapplecut into 2cm chunks
  • 150 g green grapes
  • 125 g blueberries
  • 100 g red grapes
  • 240 g plain Greek yogurtfull-fat or 2%
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 small limezested and juiced
Steps
  1. 1

    Make the dip: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth and evenly combined — it should look creamy with tiny flecks of green zest throughout. Taste and add a touch more honey if you like it sweeter.

    Tip: Kids love helping stir this together. The lime zest is the secret weapon — it brightens everything up.

  2. 2

    Prep the fruit: Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and segment the mandarin oranges, and cut the pineapple into roughly 2cm (¾-inch) chunks. Give the grapes and blueberries a rinse and pat dry.

    Tip: Pat fruit dry so it doesn't slide around on the skewers.

  3. 3

    Thread the fruit onto skewers in rainbow order: start with red grapes, then strawberry halves, mandarin segments, pineapple chunks, green grapes, and finish with blueberries. Alternate and fill each skewer with 6-8 pieces — the colors should cascade from red to purple like a rainbow.

    Tip: Let kids pick their own rainbow order if you want — the point is fun, not perfection. If serving younger children, snap the sharp tips off the skewers or use blunt reusable skewers. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days; store fruit and dip separately so fruit stays firm. The yogurt dip keeps for 3-4 days covered in the fridge.
