Ingredients

Fruit Ideas:

1 cup Melon any kind
1 cup Strawberries
1 cup Pineapples
1 cup Mangos
1 cup Bananas
1 cup Kiwis

For Basting

1/2 cup Honey
1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
2 Tablespoon coconut white balsamic optional

For the Yogurt Dip

1 cup yogurt your favorite kind- for this recipe I did a Greek Key Lime Yogurt
1/4 cup Marshmallow fluff
2 ounces light cream cheese 1/4 of an 8 oz. brick
1 teaspoon key lime juice or regular lime juice
1 Tablespoon coconut flakes or to taste

Instructions

If you use wood skewers, soak them in cold water first to avoid burning on the grill. Turn on grill to medium heat.
Thread each skewer with your favorite fruits.
Warm some honey in the microwave so its nice and warm and runny. Baste each kabob lightly with honey then sprinkle with coconut flakes.
Grill until the fruit gets some nice grill marks on each side. Remove to a serving plate (optional: drizzle with a little coconut white balsamic).

For the Yogurt Dip:

Beat the light yogurt, marshmallow fluff, light cream cheese, lime juice, and coconut flakes together and put in a small dish for dipping. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

You can prepare the skewers up to 24 hours before grilling. Place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and store in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
Try to cut the fruit into similar sized pieces for even cooking.
Use another flavor of white balsamic vinegar if you can't find coconut.
