Print Recipe

A quick and easy patriotic snack featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas on skewers served with a creamy honey yogurt dip. Perfect for summer gatherings and kid-friendly.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Blueberries, washed and dried
  • Bananas, sliced into thick rounds
  • Wooden skewers, about 6 inches long
  • Plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup
  • Honey, 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon
  • Vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water, then pat dry gently with a clean towel. Hull the strawberries by slicing off the green tops and cut them in half lengthwise. Peel the bananas and slice into thick, even rounds about ½ inch thick.
  2. Make the Honey Yogurt Dip: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth and creamy, tasting to adjust sweetness if desired. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Take a wooden skewer and start threading fruit in a pattern that highlights the red, white, and blue theme: a strawberry half, followed by a banana slice, then a few blueberries. Repeat this pattern to fill each skewer, leaving about 1 inch at the bottom for holding.
  4. Arrange and Serve: Lay the skewers neatly on a serving platter and place the honey yogurt dip in a small bowl alongside for dipping. If prepping ahead, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm fruit to prevent mushiness. Chill the honey yogurt dip for at least 30 minutes before serving for better flavor and texture. To keep bananas from browning, squeeze a little lemon juice on them. For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut yogurt and maple syrup for the dip. Assemble skewers just before serving to keep fruit fresh.
