Grapefruit Goodness

I wanted to share with all of you my most favorite way to eat a grapefruit.

I am not a huge grapefruit fan,

I really never ate them, until I started to buy grapefruit for Dadzoo who is trying to eat more fruits. Then I discovered this little method and now I am hooked.

I love it!

First I peel the grapefruit, just like I would an orange.

Then using a sharp knife I cut out the sections.

Aren’t they so pretty sitting there in a bowl.

Then I sprinkle dehydrated coconut flakes over the top. Using the coconut gives it just a little bit of a coconut flavor and adds fat. Fat is good, in moderation. I add it for a couple of reasons, the fat keeps me satisfied all morning long and it also makes the fat soluble vitamins in the grapefruit available to me.

Then of coarse, a nice sprinkling of sugar.

This makes for a yummy satisfying, low calorie, nutrient dense snack or breakfast.

How do you eat grapefruit?

Oooo, that sounds good! I usually cut it in half, separate the segments, and sprinkle sugar on it. I love coconut, though, so I'm going to have to try this.

I seperate the segments and drizzle with some honey…yum!!! I'm going to have to give this a try, I love coconut.

Mmmm, looks good. I don't usually eat grapefruit because it's just too bitter for my liking, but maybe if I had them like this I would enjoy it.

Those pictures look lovely. I just cut mine in half, loosen the segments, and eat it plain. I always was a bit of a sourpuss.

I'll try it for lunch.

I don't really like grapefruit either, but I would totally eat it with coconut Mmmmm

Why mess with a good thing? 😛
I love, love, love grapfruit and never doing anything but peel and eat. I eat them almost every morning(when I can find good ones that don't cost a ton). My 4 year old loves them to and would eat the whole thing with me so I will admit I have on occasion hidden from him when I eat them. Seriously. I love grapefruit.
