Fruit Variations
We absolutely love Rainbow Fruit Skewers! And while they are already bursting with color and flavor, we have some fabulous fruit substitutions that are sure to make these skewers even more enjoyable. Here are our suggestions per color:
Red
Instead of raspberry, why not try juicy strawberries or pomegranate seeds? These little jewels are packed with antioxidants and add a delightful crunch to the skewers. Plus, their vibrant red color will really pop!
Orange
While orange is already represented in the original recipe, we think it’s worth mentioning that mango chunks would make a fantastic substitution. This tropical fruit is loaded with vitamin C and has a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the other fruits.
Yellow
For a sunny yellow addition to the skewers, swap out pineapple for sliced yellow peaches. These fruits are low in calories but high in fiber, and their juicy and sweet flavor will complement the other fruits perfectly.
Green
Kiwi is a fantastic addition to Rainbow Fruit Skewers, but if you’re in the mood for something different, try substituting it with slices of green apple. Apples are packed with nutrients like vitamin C and fiber, and their crisp texture will provide a nice contrast to the softer fruits on the skewer.
Blue
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a blue fruit to substitute for blueberry, but we do have a suggestion that matches the same bright blue hue. Blue butterfly pea flowers are a natural food dye and have long been used in Southeast Asia to color food and drinks. Boil them with a bit of sugar to make syrup, and drizzle it over the skewers for a striking blue effect.
Purple
Last but not least, we recommend using blackberries for a deep purple hue. These berries are an excellent source of antioxidants and fiber, and their sweet and slightly tart flavor will elevate the skewers to a whole new level.
We hope you enjoy these fruit substitutions as much as we do! Happy skewering!
