Grinch Fruit Kabob Ingredients
You only need 4 basic ingredients and 1 kitchen items to make these healthy grinch fruit kabobs. That makes this one of the most healthy healthy holiday recipes you make all year!
Toothpicks: Use any simple variety of toothpicks. You surely have a thousand in your pantry!
Bananas: You want your bananas closer to the green end of ripeness rather than brown. This way they hold up better on the pick!
Gapes: Be sure you use green grapes. The grinch wasn’t red!
Strawberries: Look for small to medium ones!
Mini Marshmallows: Just pick your favorite!
How to Make Healthy Grinch Fruit Kabobs
Along with being healthy, these grinch fruit kabobs are simple!
Start by cleaning all of your fruit. Slice your banana into small coins and chop the stems off the strawberries.
Insert your toothpick halfway into the grape, slide a banana coin on top, an upside down strawberry, then topped with a mini marshmallow.
See, this is so easy! You can even involve your kids (if they can handle being around toothpicks!) They would love being able to make the food they are about to eat!
Tips For Making the Kabobs
This is a simple assembly of a recipe, but the more information you have the better they are going to turn out!
- Try your best to make these kabobs as soon as to the time they will be served. Because there is fruit involved, especially banana, they will begin to brown. They would still be safe to consume, but who wants a brown grinch fruit kabob!?
- Depending on the size of your fruit, it may be difficult to fit on a toothpick. For this reason, just place a portion of the stick through the grape.
- If there is still too much to fit on the pick, slice a portion off of the wide end of the strawberry!
- If you want a purely fruit kabob, replace the mini marshmallow with a small piece of banana!
- You could use food gel to make a face for the grinch on the grapes, but in my opinion it isn’t worth it. It won’t turn out as well as you hope and will ultimately smudge.
