These patriotic fruit skewers are a great way to add some “healthy” into your 4th of July food lineup! I love all the red, white, and blue treats that are offered every year, but being festive with delicious summer fruit can be just as fun! And my kids pretty much devoured these after they were assembled!
If you wash and prep the strawberries and blueberries ahead of time these can be really quick to put together before your party. Of course the bananas will have to be cut up right before otherwise they will turn brown.
Use as many strawberries, blueberries or bananas as needed for the size of your group.
I just picked up some of these wooden skewers from Target.
Slice up the bananas into about 1/2 inch wheels. Then, using halved strawberries, bananas, and blueberries, layer red, white, and blue onto the skewer.
For the skewers laying flat on the cutting board I did two layers of red, white, and blue. For the ones in the jar I just did one layer plus one more red.
Totally fun and a great festive look for your 4th of July get-togethers!!
Here is your printable recipe!
