Description
These Kid-Friendly Cheese & Veggie Snack Kabobs are a simple and appealing way to get your little ones to enjoy healthy snacks. They are quick to assemble and customizable with your children’s favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup bell peppers (various colors), cut into 1-inch squares
- 8 ounces block cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby Jack), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or hummus (for dipping)
- 12 small wooden skewers (or blunt plastic skewers for younger children)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and prepare them. Halve the cherry tomatoes, cut the cucumber and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and cube the cheese.
- Carefully thread the ingredients onto the skewers, alternating between cheese, vegetables, and olives. You can make patterns or let your child choose their own order.
- Arrange the finished kabobs on a platter.
- Serve with a side of ranch dressing or hummus for dipping. My son, Leo, loves dipping his in ranch, while Mia prefers hummus!
- Watch your kids enjoy their colorful and tasty snack!
Notes
- For younger children, use blunt plastic skewers or serve the ingredients deconstructed in a bowl.
- Encourage your child to help assemble the kabobs. This makes them more likely to eat what they’ve created.
- Feel free to substitute with other kid-friendly vegetables like steamed broccoli florets or cooked carrot chunks.
- These kabobs are great for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or even a light dinner.
