Fun Grapefruit Breakfast Ideas

Even though you know that eating grapefruit everyday is a great way to stay healthy and fit it can be hard to eat the same thing day after day without getting bored. Most people eat grapefruit with breakfast, even though it’s a delicious snack at anytime of the day. If you are a person who likes to have grapefruit at breakfast but is sick of eating it in the traditional way there are dozens of ways you can shake up your breakfast routine and get all the benefits of this delicious citrus fruit without the boredom that comes from eating the same thing every day. Use these tips from people who eat grapefruit everyday to find new and fun ways to get your healthy citrus fruit each day in fun and unique ways:

Try compote – Fruit compotes are part jam, part fresh fruit. They are great over pancakes, waffles, or toast. You can also eat them spooned into yogurt or cottage cheese, or mix them into a smoothie. An easy grapefruit and cranberry compote will start your day with a sweet and tart kick and a dash of beautiful color. To make this tasty breakfast treat boil frozen or fresh cranberries with fresh orange juice, orange zest, sugar, and a little mint. Peel and segment a grapefruit and mix the segments into the cranberry mixture. That’s all you have to do to brighten up your morning routine and add new flavors to your breakfast table.

Fruit salad isn’t just for dessert – This is a great breakfast on hot summer days. Mix segments of oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines with grapes, berries, or cubed pieces of melon. Toss with a dressing of fresh citrus juice and balsamic vinegar. The luscious fruits will be enhanced by the sweet dressing and you can start your day with a serving of healthy fruit instead of super sugary pastries or high calorie muffins. To make it even more refreshing use chilled fruit and eat it with a tall glass of Honeybell orange juice.

Baked or broiled grapefruit – This unique way of serving grapefruit virtually eliminates the tart taste of grapefruit, so it’s great for people who aren’t that fond of the tart taste of grapefruit. All you have to do is halve a grapefruit, and leave the fruit inside intact. Use a knife to loosen the fruit but don’t remove it from the rind. Add some butter, sugar and cinnamon to the top of each half and bake or broil for five to ten minutes. You’ll love the taste of sweet, warm grapefruit on cold mornings.
