I don’t know about your kids, but mine love eating anything that they can eat with their hands. My daughter was like that when she was a baby, too. Nothing off a spoon but anything she could pick up. For some reason they just think it is more fun. Well we have made Fruit & Yogurt Tartlets, Fruit Skewers, and even Breakfast Grazing Boards. All of those breakfast recipes were successful!
My kids wanted to make something fun for Mother’s Day brunch so these Sunny Breakfast Fruit Skewers were born. I helped get out the fruits, peel and cut the mango, and helped them organize their game plan. And the kids assembled and did the rest! So this is a great idea for a Sunday morning or anytime during the Summer when you want some fresh fruit and waffles.

How to Assemble these Breakfast Fruit and Waffle Skewers
First start by prepping the fruit you are using. Peel and cut the mango and cube it. Then core and cut the pineapple as well. (For more on how to prepare mango- check out our All About Mango Produce Page. )
Then mix the nut butter and coconut in a small bowl. Spread the mixture onto one side of each waffle and cut into 4 pieces.
Next toss the banana, mango, pineapple and lime juice in another bowl until covered.
Thread the pineapple, waffle and mango onto 6-inch skewers. Enjoy!
What to serve with these breakfast skewers
