Eating Well with Pink Grapefruit

Pink grapefruit is rich in vitamins and minerals like Potassium which help your body function properly. Pink grapefruit, like Ruby red grapefruit, also has a lot of Lycopene which can help your body fight off cancer.

Pink grapefruit is low calorie and has less than one hundred calories per fruit. Pink grapefruit is also high in fiber, which will help you stay full. When you eat a pink grapefruit for breakfast instead of skipping breakfast you will get a boost of healthy energy from the vitamins and minerals in the grapefruit and the fiber will help you feel full so that you don’t end up eating donuts or scarfing down a giant mocha when you get to the office. You don’t have to eat pink grapefruit for breakfast though. There are a lot of ways to squeeze pink grapefruit into a healthy diet like:

Spice up a salad – the sweet and tart taste of pink grapefruit tastes great with a traditional green salad. Just add pink grapefruit segments to your salad and sprinkle a little grapefruit zest on the top. It will add an entirely new dimension to a boring salad and you’ll love the refreshing sweetness combined with the salad greens.

Spritzers – Nothing tastes as great as freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. You can pink grapefruit juice to make delicious sprtizers by mixing fresh pink grapefruit juice with ginger ale, club soda, or even fruit juice. These light and refreshing drinks are perfect for summer picnics and parties. They are also great for girls night in, dinner parties, and kids sleepovers. Making sprtizers is easy and fun and when you use pink grapefruit juice they are healthy too.

Sorbet – A classic low calorie frozen dessert is sorbet, and sorbet is easy to make at home without an ice cream maker. Just boil some fresh pink grapefruit juice together with some sugar and water and refrigerate until it’s very cold and firm. If you freeze sorbet with no alcohol in it then it will freeze into a solid block, so it’s better to refrigerate the pink grapefruit sorbet until it has a slushy consistency.
