They’re fresh, healthy, easy to prep ahead, and a total hit with kids. Plus, the mini powdered donut “clouds” make them feel like an extra special treat.

Whether you serve them on individual plates for your kids (like I did!) or arrange them on a large platter for a party, this is a great no-bake, no-fuss snack that looks as good as it tastes.

How to Make Rainbow Fruit Skewers

You only need fruit, skewers, and mini powdered donuts—that’s it!

Ingredients for Each Color:

You can mix and match based on what your kids like best, but here are some easy fruit ideas for each color of the rainbow:

  • Red – Strawberries, raspberries, watermelon
  • Orange – Orange slices, cantaloupe, mango
  • Yellow – Pineapple, banana slices
  • Green – Green grapes, kiwi, honeydew
  • Blue – Blueberries
  • Purple – Blackberries, purple grapes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Wash and prep your fruit. If needed, slice larger fruits into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Assemble your skewers. Use 3.75-inch bamboo skewers (or longer ones for a party) and slide the fruit on in rainbow order.
  3. Add the “clouds.” Place a mini powdered donut on either side of the rainbow for a cute finishing touch.
  4. Arrange & serve. Lay them out in a rainbow shape on individual plates or a larger serving platter for a party. (If you’re making a big platter, use longer skewers and double up on the fruit!)

Top Tips:

  • Prep ahead: Cut your fruit in advance and store it in the fridge so you can assemble the skewers quickly.
  • Customize it: Use whatever fruit your kids love—no need to stick to the “official” colors!
  • Make it extra fun: Serve with a side of vanilla yogurt or whipped cream for dipping.
