    A Fruit Picnic - Video Post

    A few weeks ago, Mary emailed me about contest Sunkist was holding for charity to celebrate their 100 year anniversary. She asked if I’d be willing to try a recipe to help promote the contest and support the Special Olympics. Here’s the quick details...

    Sunkist is in the middle of its year-long 100th Anniversary celebration. As part of that celebration, we're holding a Sunkist Smiles contest in support of Special Olympics. Participants can upload photos of their best Sunkist Smiles (an orange wedge in the mouth) to http://www.sunkist.com/smiles for a chance to win a trip to any destination in Asia. More importantly, for every photo uploaded, Sunkist will donate $1 up to $50,000 to Special Olympics.

    I rarely say no to a contest, fruit, or a recipe. So the toddler and I set up the camera and made Fun Fruit Kabobs this morning! We had a blast and ended the video with our Sunkist Smiles!

     

    Ingredients

    Fun Fruit Kabobs

    • 1 Sunkist® lemon - freshly squeezed juice
    • 1 medium banana, peeled, cut in 8 thick slices
    • 1 small apple, cut lengthwise in quarters, each cut in half crosswise
    • 1 medium Sunkist® orange, peeled, segmented, each segment cut in half
    • 8 medium strawberries or canned pineapple chunks, drained
    • 8 clean, wooden sticks with rounded ends
    • Fruit Dips (see recipes below)
    • candy sprinkles (optional)
    • FRUIT DIP 1
      • 1 Sunkist® orange -grated peel
      • 1 cup chocolate pudding
    • FRUIT DIP 2
      • 1 Sunkist® lemon - grated peel
      • 1 cup raspberry flavored yogurt

    Instructions

    To make one portion:

    • As apple and banana pieces are cut, toss them gently in a small bowl of lemon juice to keep them from browning.
    • With a sharp knife, cut slots in all fruit chunks so they can be speared easily. Starting and ending with orange pieces, thread one of each type of fruit on the sticks.
    • Serve the dips in several small bowls and the candy sprinkles in saucers.
    • Let the kids dip and decorate! Can be made several hours ahead, covered and refrigerated.
    • FRUIT DIP 1: Stir grated orange peel into chocolate pudding .
    • FRUIT DIP 2: Stir grated lemon peel into fruit yogurt.

    The photos above is courtesy of Sunkist (can’t you tell?) ;~P Below are some of my shots.

      I love this idea. I'm always looking for healthy ideas for my son's b-day parties. I will definately be doing this with the kids.

      Thanks.

      Tiffany - I didn't calculate it because it wasn't my recipe and it was mostly fruit. You could pump the ingredients into a site like nutritiondata.com or fitday.com. I tend not to track my fruit/veggies.

      Roni-- I start the video and my toddler (who will be three in July) shreks--- "Hey it is that boy again!!" She has been in the room, when I watched your salmon post. What a cutie.
      Is it planned-- for you to always were green? I notice that most of your videos are in a green shirt. It is great... since I love green. Just an observation.

      Thanks for the great tips... I have a veggie "stuffed" meatloaf recipe if you are interested. My family doens't love veggies, so I puree and hide in foods. (like your pizza sauce)
