Summer Fruit Kabobs
Serves: 8 | Serving Size: 1 skewer
1 cup watermelon chunks
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup red seedless grapes
1 cup stemmed strawberries
2 kiwi, peeled and cut in quarters
8 bamboo skewers (6 inches)
1 cup nonfat light strawberry yogurt
Thread one piece of fruit all the way down the skewer until you’re about 1/2 inch from the end. Grab a different piece of fruit and thread it down the skewer until it touches the first piece of fruit. Repeat with remaining fruit. Feel free to play around with patterns and colors.
As you finish each kabob, place it on a large platter. Once you’re out of kabobs, set the platter aside.
Pour nonfat light strawberry yogurt into a medium bowl. Place the bowl on the platter or arrange it next to the kabobs.
Serve kabobs with yogurt on the side.
