Fruit Kabobs

If you are looking for something fun, super EASY and healthy to bring to a party… let me introduce you to fruit kabobs!  When you’re asked to bring something to a dinner party or book club or any other social event that is centered around food, it’s best to come prepared and bring something that you know is points friendly. This will help you stay in control because you know you have a guaranteed option to snack on.  These fruit kabobs are perfect for any of those occasions!
Servings:  16 skewers
Points Plus: 0 pp
Level of Difficulty:  Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time:  n/a
Rating: 3 stars – Good

Ingredient List:
Toothpicks or kabob skewers (depending on what size you want to make)
2 bananas
Large bunch of green grapes
1 Pineapple
3 kiwi

Directions:
Wash the green grapes and take off the stems.  Cut up the pineapple into small, bite-size pieces.  Peel the kiwi and banana and cut into slices.  Assemble each skewer, alternating types of fruit.  Display on a plate
 Tip:
The picture above shows some fruit kabobs I made for the Packer SUPERBOWL party a few years ago (GO PACK GO!!!).  There are so many options though – you could make 4th of July kabobs with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries; Luau themed kabobs with pineapple, mango and strawberries; or you can just pick fruits that go well with the color scheme of your party! If you do decide to make these ahead of time for a wedding or baby shower, make sure you save fruits that will brown easily for the day of prep (things like bananas, apples etc) so your kabobs look nice and fresh for your party spread.
