We had some discussion of which fruits to use. Here is some brainstorming:
- Red: strawberry, raspberry, grapes, watermelon
- Orange: orange, mandarin. apricot
- Yellow: yellow peach, banana, pineapple, mango
- Green: kiwi fruit, green apple, green grapes
- Blue: blueberries
- Purple: grapes, blackberries, cherries
This dessert was so easy that Sylvia was able to take responsibility for this meal. She decided which fruit, helped choose them at the shops, put the skewers together. And she loved eating them. The skewers took a bit more time than arranging them on a plate but we do not really have a plate big enough for a rainbow. We only made 10 and could easily have eaten more if time had permitted. I am sure we will be making these again.

Week 3's theme is Rainbow Food
'so simple and almost embarrassing to post' - well I am pleased you did as the visual presentation is stunning , just like a rainbow. Its adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shaheen - awww now I really am embarrassed at all your kind words :-)
DeleteOo, I love this! So bright and colourful :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth the post.
Thanks Chelsey - it is quite cheery with all the colours
DeleteHehe these are cute Johanna! Even if I don't usually like fruit I'd go for these!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine - quite a few of us wanted seconds and I wondered if it encouraged us to eat more fruit than usual
DeleteAww, these are gorgeous and so healthy - and wonderful that Sylvia could be so involved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cakelaw - sylvia was very excited about these - probably because it was so easy to help
DeleteCute! They remind me of the treats provided for a rainbow themed birthday party in one of the children's party books my mum had when I was growing up. I never had a rainbow party but I did always love that one in the book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Caeli - I would have loved a rainbow party when I was young (actually I think I might love one now) but never had those sort of party books
DeleteSo simple but so clever! Well done Sylvia for all her creativity.... they are so pretty and so effective (and I am sure very delicious too!). Looks like Miss GF has a foodie competitor down under. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate - yes watch out Miss GF!!!!!
DeleteThese are so beautiful! Simple but they really make an impact. I'm sure Sylvia loved helping with these!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up with us for Healthy Vegan Fridays! I’m Pinning and sharing!
Thanks Mary Ellen - they did look great on the table
DeleteYou can't be embarrassed about posting this - it's so pretty! And although it is simple, I bet it is time consuming. All of the fruit prep and carefully arranging them. Just beautiful. I bet Sylvia had fun with this =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimmy - it took a little time and probably would have been much more time consuming if we had bothered to make more but the few we made weren't too hard (esp after the castle cake which was very time consuming)
