Ingredients
Fruit Skewers
- Ingredients
- 150 grams Strawberries
- 2 ripe Nectarine
- 1 sour Apple (such as Granny Smith)
- 200 grams Watermelon
- 200 grams honeydew melon
- 200 grams Cantaloupe
- 1 organic lemon (juice)
- 1 Tbsp liquid honey
Rinse strawberries and nectarines and pat dry. Halve nectarines, pit and cut into strips. Rinse, peel and core apple and cut into bite-size pieces.
Slice melon into bite-size pieces and mix in a bowl with the remaining fruit, lemon juice and honey. Let stand for about 1 hour, then alternate placing pieces of fruit on wooden skewers. Serve immediately.
Healthy, because
The fruits score with vitamins for a healthy immune system and secondary plant substances, such as ellagic acid from the strawberries, which has been proven to have a cancer-preventive effect. Quercetin from the nectarines, on the other hand, puts us in a good mood.
Even smarter
This variant of the fruit skewers is suitable for the summer, because the skewered fruit is in season at this time. For winter fruit skewers you can use apples, pears, orange and persimmon. If you want to serve a dip with the skewers, mix natural yoghurt, a little honey and grated dark chocolate.
