When I was young, I wouldn't go near a grapefruit...unless of course it was covered with two tablespoons of sugar to cater to my sensitive tastebuds! I have grown to love grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and even grapefruit gummies! I admit that my current trouble is that I'm too lazy to cut and section the grapefruits myself!
In January when my boyfriend and I were on a Celebrity Cruise, my favorite way to start out the morning was to head to the Aqua Spa Cafe where they offered healthy breakfast options including halved and sectioned grapefruits. I had one every morning! Within two weeks it was back to reality and if I wanted grapefruit I was going to have to face it...I would have to cut them myself...or so I thought!
I recently tried Del Monte's Fruit Naturals, which are sealed plasic cups containing single servings of various types of fruit. You can find them in the refrigerated part of the grocer's produce isles. Red grapefruit is one of the fruits they pre-package! I know it is far from the "green" choice...all those little plastic cups, but for work, at the desk, and on the go these are great. The grapefruit tastes like it was freshly cut and there is no risk of it being rotten or too sour, as it is the perfect mix of sweet and sour. It is in extra light juice and of course is a generous amount of Vitamin C....100%! Very refreshing to pull one of these out of the 'fridge after returning from a brisk walk or a run!
