Do you have grapefruit in your fridge?
I'm loving this refreshing fruit, it can be enjoyed any time of day.
* It can be tossed in your green salad. (My favorite:))
* It can be juiced fresh(yummy for breakfast) Very helpful for weight loss!
* It can be layered with strawberry yogurt and granola.
* It can also be sautéed, made into marmalades or jellies..
You're still shaking your head and saying 'no way!'
OK...What about as smoothie?
*Honeyed Grapefruit Smoothie?
Blend grapefruit pieces with ice cold water until smooth. Add yogurt and honey and process until combined. Delicious!!
*You can also boil them with brown sugar. Place grapefruit helves in a baking dish. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter and sprinkle this mixture on top of each grapefruit helves. Broil until sugar is bubbly. Garnish with mint and serve!
Oh, I almost forgot grapefruit-yogurt cake! Delicious! Hubby loves it! Yeah! He's on a cake diet:)
Seriously, I heard about a book written by Dean Kapsalakis. 'The cake Diet!"
Maybe I tell you guys about this book another time.
Do you have any other ideas? I'd love to try them!
Sadly, I can no longer eat citrus fruit but I love, love, love grapefruits. I used to peel them like an orange and eat them like that--no extra sugar or anything.
ReplyDeleteI do like pink grapefruit. I used to eat grapefruit all the time, but now I eat more oranges.
ReplyDeleteThe grapefruit smoothie sounds yummy!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, dear Yonca.
I just eat them with a little sugar on them. I didn't realize there were so many other ways to have them. I love grapefruit. I'd love to hear about the grapefruit cake sometime.♥
ReplyDeleteWe eat the pink or red grapefruit here, usually just sliced and plain, or with a sprinkling of sugar on it! So good!!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to go buy some grapefruit! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, don't know which sounds the best, in the cake, smoothie, and boiled sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love grapefruit! I used to have to sprinkle sugar on it to eat it, but now I like it plain!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of sauteeing or boiling it. Crazy! I love the Ruby Red grapefruit.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of grapefruit but my husband is so I showed him your list. (He likes the smoothie idea.)
ReplyDeleteI don't care for grapefruit but I'd love a diet with cake!
ReplyDeleteI wish I shared your love.
ReplyDeleteI love grapefruit! Yummy I love the thought of that right now :)
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is well with you and your family. I miss my bloggy friends...

I must admit, I have never liked grapefruit. My hubby does though.
ReplyDeleteA great idea! But I'm also a fan of just plain ol' grapefruit. Delish!!
ReplyDeleteI love grapefruit but I had no idea there were so many delicious ways to enjoy it. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Yonca! I just wanted to stop by and say hello. Just missing you:) Hope your weekend was great.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of grapefruit...love lemons and oranges though.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL cans them so she can enjoy them year-round!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never tried a grapefruit? REALLY! I think I tried the juice as a kid and just didn't like it. I think it's time I take another stab at it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard that grapefruit helps in weight loss. Now I am mad I passed them by at the grocery store today!
ReplyDeleteWith all those health benefits, I should be eating grapefruits a lot more. I'll make sure I buy one tomorrow.
