How Many Ways Do You Eat Grapefruit?

😋 7 Creative Ways to Eat Grapefruit 😋

Not a lot of fruits are in season through the winter, but oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are! 

Grapefruits are one of my favorites because they have a tart flavor that can go with either sweet or salty foods. They’re also low in calories, high in nutrients, and packed with vitamin C. 

Let’s get creative with 7 ways to eat grapefruit! 

1️⃣ Fresh!

Keep it simple by slicing or peeling your grapefruit and sprinkling it with a little sugar, salt, or nothing at all. 

2️⃣ Grilled & Drizzled

Cut the grapefruit in half and put it over a grill or under the broiler until just browned. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with cinnamon. 

3️⃣ In a Smoothie

The sweet yet tart flavor of grapefruit blends well into smoothies along with spinach, a banana, and some yogurt. 

4️⃣ Over Greens

Toss your salad with vinaigrette and throw in some chopped nuts, feta cheese, and grapefruit chunks. 

5️⃣ With Avocado

Make a chopped salad of grapefruit and avocado, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt. 

6️⃣ On Crackers

Mix up the ordinary crackers and cheese by using goat cheese and pieces of grapefruit on top. 

7️⃣ Alongside Fish or Shrimp

Everyone thinks of using lemons with seafood, but why not give grapefruit a try?
