Rinse the strawberries and grapes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the banana and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds.
Carefully thread one strawberry, one banana slice, and one grape onto each wooden skewer, repeating the pattern until the skewer is filled. Leave a bit of space at each end of the skewer for easy handling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1 minute total.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to catch drips. Hold each fruit kebab above the bowl of melted chocolate and use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the fruit, or dip the entire kebab if you prefer more coverage.
Place the chocolate-drizzled kebabs onto the parchment-lined tray. Once all the kebabs are coated, place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate set.
Serve the kebabs chilled as a healthy, diabetic-friendly dessert or snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
