Healthy & Fun Snacks {Kabobs} for the Pool!

I can't wait to sit by the pool today. It's such a beautiful day! Happy June!! :-)

I was searching for quick snacks to bring with me to the pool when I came across this post by Skinny Taste blog. Favorite healthy foods on a stick! Skinny Taste geared this blog towards cute school lunch ideas- awesome! I'm loving these ideas for snacks or lunch items to bring to the pool. Throw them in a cooler and you're done! If you're worried about using sharp skewer sticks, substitute them for coffee stirrers, popsicle sticks, toothpicks or even mini straws.

Here are a few of my favorites that she featured:

1. Mini Caprese Skewers

Skinny Taste says: Grape tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls layered on a stick. If you cut the tomatoes in half diagonally they look like small hearts. For older kids add basil in between the tomatoes and pack a small container of balsamic vinaigrette.


2. Mini Shrimp, Tomato, and Cucumber Skewer

Skinny Taste says: Use a cookie cutter for the cucumbers and you won't have to even peel them! If you want to make these for adults, add some feta cheese and olives and turn them into cute Greek Salad Skewers! Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is perfect for dipping.



3. Mini Ham, Cheese and Tomato Skewers

Skinny Taste says: It's almost like a chef's salad on a stick. You could use turkey and whatever cheese your children enjoy. Pack a roll or some crackers on the side. 

4. Mini Fruit Kabobs 

Skinny Taste says: Layer seasonal fruit on a stick and I'm sure they'll eat it. Choose fruit that doesn't brown easily such as berries and grapes. Yogurt makes the perfect fruit dip.

I'm in LOVE with these ideas for poolside snacks! So easy, so delicious, and so fun! Thank you, Skinny Taste for the ideas! Be sure to check out the Skinny Taste blog... the Top Monthly Recipes on the right side bar look and sound AH-MAZING!
