So far this week, I have posted my recipe for Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Nachos and Mini Stuffed Baked Potato bites. I am of the firm belief there should always be SOMETHING healthy available at any get together though, so today’s recipe is going to help you get some of your fruit servings in.
This “recipe” isn’t really a recipe though.
Mainly it’s just a colorful cup full of yummy fresh fruit!
I was inspired by some cute rainbow fruit skewers I found on Pinterest.
It wasn’t working out well on the skewers and I had some clear glass plastic cups left over from this strawberry shortcake recipe, so I decided to layer the fruit instead.
I cut all the fruit bite sized (except the grapes…I did not cut the grapes) and layered it into the glass in this order:
- purple grapes
- blueberries
- green grapes
- melon
- pineapple
- strawberries (on top!)
I actually made these for my daughter’s birthday party and believe it or not,they were the first thing gone!
They were so colorful and fun. They’d give a great pop of color and a bit of healthy to an otherwise not so healthy appetizer spread!
If you make these, upload a pic to the Family Friendly Frugality Facebook page!

Our daughter’s birthdays are September & May. I liked being able to take advantage of fresh fruit in season, offering a fresh fruit cup for their birthday treat for their class/sports team.
That’s a great idea. Fruit is a great sweet treat that you don’t have to feel guilty about!
