1 Zester

Strawberries
Cuties or Orange sections
3-4 Slices Kiwi
Blueberries
Grapes
Raspberries

Lime Yogurt Dip

1 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
3 tbsp Lime Juice Fresh squeezed is best!
2 tsp Honey
Grated Lime Zest
2 tbsp Chia seeds
1 8 oz. Block Cream Cheese

Instructions

Cut all of the fruit into bitesize chunks. You can put everything in one bowl or use different bowls for each fruit. For the kids it’s more fun to use separate bowls, so that’s how we put them together.
Fill the skewer sticks leaving and inch or so at each end. Once you have filled all of the sticks you want, set aside.
In a small bowl mix, all of the dip ingredients together until everything in folded in, then add a little grated lime zest. You can use a stand mixed or a hand mixed for this.
Once complete set in the fridge to chill for a few hours or overnight. It’s best served cold.

Notes

You can use any fruit that you wish. Pineapple, apple slices, watermelon, and blackberries are other great options. If all of the dip ingredients are cold you can serve right away, but allowing everything to chill together works best and taste better. You can chill for can few hours or overnight.

Chia seeds are often found in larger quantities, however for our family they are pretty versatile, and we use them in many other recipes for the kids. We make Banana Roll Ups frequently and often put them in various yogurts and pudding that we eat, mainly to help with digestive health. Our son has down syndrome, so this greatly helps with this process, and he is still only about to eat mostly soft foods. If you are looking for another side, you can also try Spicy Spinach Bacon Dip or Cowboy Spread. Enjoy!
