Description

These colorful fruit skewers are the perfect blend of elegance and refreshment. Drizzled with a light honey-mint glaze, they’re ideal for brunches, parties, or wellness-focused gatherings. They’re as beautiful as they are beneficial, supporting hydration, mood, and vitality.

Ingredients

For the Skewers:

1 cup strawberries, halved
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup green grapes
1 cup blueberries
1 cup watermelon balls or cubes
10 fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
10 wooden or bamboo skewers (6–8 inches long)

For the Glaze:

2 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

1
Prep the fruit: Wash all fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries. Cut watermelon and pineapple into 1-inch cubes if not using pre-cut fruit.
2
Assemble skewers: Thread fruit onto skewers in a colorful, alternating pattern (e.g., strawberry, grape, pineapple, blueberry, watermelon). Each skewer should have about 5–6 pieces.
3
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, and chopped mint until well combined.
4
Drizzle or brush glaze (omit for Whole 30): Just before serving, drizzle or brush the honey-mint glaze lightly over the skewers.
5
Garnish (optional): Add a fresh mint leaf to the end of each skewer or sprinkle chopped mint over the top for extra elegance.
6
Serve chilled: Arrange skewers on a sleek platter lined with crushed ice or marble for a stunning presentation.
