Print Recipe

These colorful fruit kabobs combine fresh strawberries, mini marshmallows, and blueberries in a fun red-white-blue pattern. Perfect for patriotic occasions, they are quick, easy, and loved by kids as a healthy, festive snack.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved if large
  • Fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • Mini marshmallows (regular or vegan)
  • Wooden skewers (6-inch length)
  • Optional: honey for drizzling
  • Optional: cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep the fruit: rinse strawberries and blueberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy tops, then slice large berries in half (about 5 minutes).
  2. Prepare your skewers: lay out wooden skewers on a clean surface. Soak the skewers in water for 10 minutes beforehand to soften them if desired.
  3. Assemble the kabobs: starting with a strawberry piece (red), thread onto the skewer, followed by a mini marshmallow (white), then a blueberry (blue). Repeat the pattern until the skewer is full, usually 3-4 sets per stick (7-10 minutes).
  4. Optional flavor boost: lightly drizzle honey over the finished kabobs or sprinkle a dash of cinnamon sugar.
  5. Chill before serving: place the kabobs on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let the fruit chill and flavors meld.

Notes

Use firm, ripe fruit to prevent slipping and mushiness. Soak wooden skewers in water before use to avoid splinters. For young children, use blunt-ended skewers or cut skewers shorter for safety. Prepare kabobs close to serving time to keep fruit fresh. Store covered in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. Optional to add honey or cinnamon sugar for extra flavor. Variations include substituting marshmallows with mozzarella cheese cubes or adding seasonal fruits.
