Ingredients
Fruit Ideas:
- 1 cup melon any kind
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup Pineapples
- 1 cup mangos
- 1 cup bananas
- 1 cup kiwis
For Basting
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 2 Tablespoon coconut white balsamic optional
For the Yogurt Dip
- 1 cup yogurt your favorite kind- for this recipe I did a Greek Key Lime Yogurt
- 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff
- 2 ounces light cream cheese 1/4 of an 8 oz. brick
- 1 teaspoon key lime juice or regular lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon coconut flakes or to taste
Instructions
- If you use wood skewers, soak them in cold water first to avoid burning on the grill. Turn on grill to medium heat.
- Thread each skewer with your favorite fruits.
- Warm some honey in the microwave so its nice and warm and runny. Baste each kabob lightly with honey then sprinkle with coconut flakes.
- Grill until the fruit gets some nice grill marks on each side. Remove to a serving plate (optional: drizzle with a little coconut white balsamic).
Cup of Yum
For the Yogurt Dip:
- Beat the light yogurt, marshmallow fluff, light cream cheese, lime juice, and coconut flakes together and put in a small dish for dipping. Keep refrigerated.

Notes
- You can prepare the skewers up to 24 hours before grilling. Place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and store in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
- Try to cut the fruit into similar sized pieces for even cooking.
- Use another flavor of white balsamic vinegar if you can't find coconut.
