These rainbow fruit kebabs are a delicious summer treat for a picnic or BBQ. Kids can help out with this easy recipe that's ready in under 20 minutes. Feel free to modify this dessert based on what fruit is available or in season.
This past weekend was jam-packed with activities and flew by way too quickly. On Saturday morning I participated in a 5k Color Run which was an absolute blast. In the afternoon our race team had a celebratory BBQ. It was a pretty healthy group of individuals and I wasn’t going to be the person that brought 400-calorie cupcakes. These rainbow fruit kebabs were perfect!

Well thank you! I took them outside in the morning when it was rainy because I couldn't get good light in the house!
