Ingredients
12 green grapes (washed and dried)
12 banana slices (about 1 banana, cut into 1/2-inch slices)
12 fresh strawberries (hulled and trimmed flat at the top)
12 mini marshmallows (for the hat top)
12 toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
-
Prepare the fruit:
Wash the grapes and strawberries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the tops off the strawberries so they sit flat on the banana slices. Cut a banana into 12 thick, even slices. -
Assemble the kabobs:
-
Start with a green grape at the bottom — this represents the Grinch’s head.
-
Add a banana slice on top of the grape to form the brim of the hat.
-
Place a strawberry (pointed side up) to create the red hat.
-
Finish with a mini marshmallow on top for the fluffy pom-pom.
-
-
Serve and enjoy:
Arrange the kabobs on a platter or tray. Serve immediately, or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
💡 Tip: To prevent the bananas from browning, lightly brush the slices with lemon juice or pineapple juice before assembling.
Notes
- These Grinch Fruit Kabobs are best enjoyed the same day for maximum freshness.
- Use firm, ripe fruit — overripe bananas or mushy grapes can slide off the toothpicks.
- Serve on a festive platter with other Healthy Christmas Treats for a colorful holiday display.
- Add a small bowl of yogurt or whipped cream for dipping if you want a fun twist for kids.
