- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup yogurt

Tips
- Choose fruits at peak ripeness for the most vibrant colors and sweetest flavors.
- Use a sharp knife for precise, uniform fruit cutting to ensure beautiful skewer presentation.
- If using wooden skewers, always soak them in water to prevent burning and potential splinters.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using different sized skewers or arranging them in a creative pattern.
- The honey-yogurt dip can be customized with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for added complexity.
- Prepare skewers just before serving to maintain the freshest appearance and prevent fruit from browning.
- For a kid-friendly activity, let children help assemble the skewers under adult supervision.
