rainbow fruit kebabs

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my attempt to make our lunches healthier and more fun. So, this week we made some rainbow fruit kebabs.

We talked about it beforehand to decide which fruit would be suitable for each colour and then did the shopping.

The fruit we used was

red – strawberries

orange – mandarin

yellow – banana

green – kiwifruit

blue – didn’t have anything (I didn’t have any luck finding blueberries).

purple – grapes (we had to have a little sidebar here about where our food comes from and why mum doesn't buy grapes every week)

Here’s our fruit rainbow …

The skewers didn’t end up being rainbow, but they look lovely nonetheless …

My son really enjoyed threading the skewers, ate plenty of fruit and even tried some fruits that he rarely eats, a big thumbs-up from me!
