Frozen Rainbow Fruit Skewers

Photograph of frozen fruit, strawberry, blueberry, banana and raspberry all glistening from the freezer, threaded on bamboo skewers.

These frozen fruit skewers are one of the easiest summer treats to make and always disappear quickly on a hot day. Children love helping to thread the fruit onto the wooden or bamboo skewers and then eagerly waiting for them to freeze. They are colourful, naturally sweet and wonderfully cooling, making them perfect for garden parties, picnics or an after-school snack in the sunshine.

The fruit provides plenty of fibre and vitamin C, making these a refreshing alternative to ice lollies. Once you’ve made a batch, you’ll probably find yourself keeping a few in the freezer throughout the summer.
