Spring has finally sprung, and it brings with it a desire for fresh fruits and veggies.
My boys love when we have fresh berries, kiwi, pineapple, and other fruits for breakfast. So, while Dan made waffles Sunday morning, I dug out the kabob sticks, fresh fruit, and cream cheese.
What better way to enjoy breakfast than with wholesome, nutritious fruit kabobs and a creamy yet very chunky fruit dip made out of Philly Cream Cheese Flavored Spreads?
Below you’ll find a printable recipe for the chunky fruit dip. And if you love these fruit kabobs, you may also enjoy this yummy marshmallow fruit salad. And you’ll definitely love these mini fruit pizzas!
How to Make Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
I made the dip by combining an 8 oz. tub of Blueberry Cream Cheese and an 8 oz. tub of Strawberry Cream Cheese. Then I added in fresh fruit, including chopped strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, along with a teensy amount of powdered sugar to give just a slight bit of sweetness to the dip. Alternatively, you can dip them in this old-fashioned fruit salad dressing.
The dip made the perfect side to the fruit kabobs and was so creamy, chunky delicious. As I was eating the dip, I could almost imagine using the flavored cream cheese to make a frosting for cupcakes…. something to think about.
With flavors like Chive Onion, Garden Vegetable, and Jalapeno, you can make more savory treats, as well. Sometimes I even make garlic parmesan chicken kabobs. Yum!
How to Make Fruit Kabobs
Back to fruit, though. As for the accompanying kabobs, they were super easy to make. The most work was washing and prepping the fruit.
You can use any type of fruit you want; we used strawberries, kiwi, bananas, blackberries, pineapple, and blueberries.
There’s really no rhyme or reason to putting the fruit on; the bigger the chunks the better, though.
Once the kabobs are put together, you’re ready to serve alongside the fruit dip. Enjoy!

Thank you, Linette!
This looks delicious Mel! And I’m a big kebab fan myself. Something about putting food on sticks appeals to my kids so I use that to my advantage.
Kabob, kebab? I looked up the spelling, and everything said both work…. I feel like the oddball spelling it kabob, though, LOL. These were a lot of fun, especially with the kids. Thanks so much, Christy!
That fresh fruit looks absolutely delicious, Kebabs make eating healthy fun.
