October 6, 2015Summer in SoFlo means the juiciest fruits are at their peak this season!
For most, summer kicks off after the long Memorial Day weekend. Red, white and blue are the colors of the season and the colors to our fun, festive, and fruity kebabs!
What you’ll need:
- 1 pint strawberries, washed, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup blueberries, washed
- 6 bananas, peeled, cut into 1″ pieces
- 1 cup of water
- 3 Tbsp of lemon juice
- 8-inch skewers of choice
Directions:
Mix water and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Place sliced bananas in lemon water and coat to prevent bananas from browning. Strand a strawberry piece, followed by a banana piece onto 7 skewers. Repeat this process two more times on 7 skewers and end strand with an additional strawberry. On 5 other skewers, thread a strawberry, banana, strawberry, banana, then follow with about 5 or 6 blueberries. Accommodate all skewers on a serving platter to mimic the American flag and serve.
Parents, this is a healthy snack that your children can help prepare, and most definitely, enjoy! Its is a creative way to compliment your Memorial Day BBQ and introduce innovative ways to consume fruits to your kids!
