Rainbow Fruit and Veggie Trays
If you haven’t guessed yet, we are all about St. Patrick’s Day in this house. We usually celebrate with an all green meal, but this year, I want to go rainbow style! I wanted to help my kids love eating their fruits and veggies this year with these fun and adorable snack trays. They are really easy to make, they just require a little cutting time and refrigeration until you are ready to serve. I have included a list of what I serve on my trays and other ideas in parenthesis below.
Vegetable Tray:
Red– Cherry Tomatoes (red peppers)
Orange– Carrots (squash, red peppers)
Yellow– Yellow Peppers (baby corn)
Green– Broccoli and Cucumbers (snap peas)
Purple– Onions
My Tips: I like to use cherry or grape tomatoes instead of tomato slices so they don’t get mushy sitting on the tray. I also think baby carrots hold up better than the larger ones on a tray. To keep the green color of the cucumbers I only peel off some of the peel, leaving a every other one kind of pattern. Wash your veggies and then refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Fruit Tray:
Red: Strawberries (Raspberries, Pomegranate Seeds, Red Apples)
Orange: Orange Slices
Yellow: Pineapple (Yellow Apples)
Green: Honey Dew Melon (Green Apples)
Blue- Blueberries
Purple- Grapes
These fruit tray and veggie trays are a fun way to get your little ones to eat their vegetables and they are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

I love this idea for St. Patricks Day! So easy and so so cute!
That is a very cute idea! My kids would devour that in no time flat.
My kids are still so picky – they may try one or two things off these trays, but I can just imagine most of it going to waste! 🙁 I'd have to serve this if we were having company over, but it does look totally fantastic!!
Very cute! I've made rainbow fruit kabobs before when I hosted a baby shower and they were a hit!
I want to make both of these just to make healthy snacking during the day fun! Such a cute and fun idea!
I love how easy fruit & veggie trays are to make when you are throwing a party! It is always a must have for me
This looks so healthy and I love that it looks very happy. I also love those little carrots, I remember when I started gaining weight during my visit to the USA, I started buying them to have as a snack instead of other delicious things USA has to offer, and everything went back to normal ))
Really love this idea. A really fun way to get people to eat healthy, as it would me! Such a creative way to display fruit and veg I must say!
These are great ideas for parties, and making them look pretty definitely encourages more people to eat them! (especially the kiddos)
This rainbow platter makes me want to be healthier and get some more fruit and veg into my diet! I love the array of savory and sweet.
Cute idea for St. Pat's. I think it's hard to get kids to eat healthy any time of the year. Great idea!
I love the variety in these trays. Such a great way to make dinner parties a little healthier.
I so love this idea. So much healthier for you and the kids then a packet of chips or sweets.
You make healthy look beautiful! Love it 🙂
Healthy, fresh, and full of colors. A great idea for snack, or appetizer. They way you arrange the veggie is lovely.
Rainbow trays are one of my favorites for entertaining. It always looks great on the table.
These truned out so cute !!! And perfect for a work snack day .
Cute cute cute! I love the rainbow theme for the holiday! The fruit tray is what we would go for since fruit is our weakness in this house!
Such a cute idea. I make veggies trays all the time. The grand kids would love digging into the rainbow. 🙂
This fruit and veggie tray is perfect for serving at my son's end of the year basketball party. Most of the parents only bring unhealthy snacks that are not that great for the kids to eat.
I was just thinking about making a rainbow fruit salad for my class on St. Patrick's day. This is brilliant! Thank you!
Omg cutest veggie tray ever!!!! My daughter would love this, then again,what person wouldn't
