Fruity skewers with yogurt dip

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • strawberries
  • grapes
  • blueberries
  • natural yogurt
  • maple syrup
  • cinnamon

You’ll also need

  • chopping board
  • tea towel or kitchen paper (optional)
  • knife and optional straw
  • skewers
  • teaspoon
  • small bowl

Method

  • STEP 1

    If your chopping board doesn’t have anti-slip grips, lay a dampened tea towel or sheet of kitchen paper on the work surface, then place the board on top to stop it from slipping.

  • STEP 2

    Peel the banana – for little fingers, this is easiest to do from the bottom – then, holding the knife securely and with your hand in the claw position, slice the banana. You should get about 12 rounds.

  • STEP 3

    Remove the stalks from the strawberries. You can do this by cutting them off with the knife or pushing a straw up through the strawberry and into the stalk.

  • STEP 4

    With your hands in the bridge position, slice the strawberries in half: hold each strawberry between your thumb and fingers, then carefully cut in half from the pointy end to the stalk end.

  • STEP 5

    Carefully push the banana slices, strawberry halves, grapes and blueberries onto the skewers in any order you like – you can make a pattern or do this randomly.

  • STEP 6

    For the dip, mix the yogurt and maple syrup together in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the cinnamon and serve with the fruit skewers.
