A quick, healthy, and delicious summer treat featuring sweetened Greek yogurt and fresh fruit on skewers, perfect for cooling off on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
  • 12 large fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, red or green
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, bite-sized
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 68 wooden or bamboo skewers
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest mixed into the yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir until smooth and slightly glossy. Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest if desired.
  2. Wash all fruit well and pat dry. Hull and halve the strawberries, cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks (about 1 inch), and ensure grapes and blueberries are dry.
  3. Thread pieces of fruit alternately onto wooden skewers, starting with a grape, then strawberry half, blueberry, pineapple chunk, and so on, leaving about 1 inch at the bottom for holding. Repeat for all skewers.
  4. Using a spoon or small brush, gently spread a thin, even layer of the sweetened yogurt over each fruit piece on the skewers.
  5. Place the coated kabobs flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until fully frozen and firm.
  6. Once frozen, transfer kabobs to a freezer-safe container or bag for storage.
  7. When ready to serve, remove kabobs from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly before eating.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt for best texture; if yogurt is runny, strain it through cheesecloth for 30 minutes. Dry fruit thoroughly to avoid ice crystals. Apply a thin layer of yogurt to prevent hard freezing. Lightly grease parchment paper with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Can substitute dairy-free yogurts like coconut or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free version.
