Ingredients
  

1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup pineapple chunks

1 cup cantaloupe, cubed

1 cup grapes, washed and stemmed

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup yogurt (choose strawberry or vanilla for flavor)

2 tablespoons honey (optional for sweetness)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

10 wooden skewers (6 inches in length)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Start by thoroughly washing all the fruits. Hull the strawberries, cube the cantaloupe, and peel and slice the kiwi. Arrange each type of fruit in separate bowls to keep your workspace tidy and to make assembly easier.

    Make the Yogurt Drizzle: In a small mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, honey (if you want an extra touch of sweetness), and lemon juice. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully blended. This zesty yogurt mixture will serve as a delightful dip for your skewers.

      Assemble the Skewers: Grab a wooden skewer and begin threading the fruit onto it. For a colorful and attractive presentation, alternate between different fruits and mini marshmallows. A suggested order is: start with a strawberry, follow with a marshmallow, then add a chunk of pineapple, a grape, a piece of cantaloupe, and finish with a slice of kiwi. Repeat this process until all skewers are assembled.

        Add a Garnish: If desired, tuck a fresh mint leaf at the end of each skewer. Not only will it add a beautiful touch of color, but it will also give a refreshing hint to each bite.

          Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the colorful skewers on a large serving platter and set a small bowl of the yogurt drizzle alongside for dipping. These skewers make for a fantastic snack for school lunches, picnics, or a wholesome treat at home!
