The Health Benefits of Grapefruit
Grapefruit is not only super hydrating, it is rich in Fibre, Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Antioxidant properties. All this goodness helps to protect your cells from harmful bacteria and viruses, which we all know is needed right now!
A Healthy, Balanced Breakfast
This breakfast bowl is the perfect treat if you have a sweet tooth like us! Grapefruit is like marmite, you either love it or hate it, but I have a little tip that will get the best of this bitter/sweet taste.
First, make sure you remove as much of the white pith as you can as this holds the most bitterness. Then, slice and gently roast the grapefruit in the oven topped with a sprinkle of brown sugar or coconut sugar, which is a healthier refined sugar alternative and gives a soft caramel flavour, you could also add cinnamon and honey!
There is so much goodness in this recipe, it is packed with slow releasing carbohydrates, healthy fats and fibre that will give you long, lasting energy, needed for a productive day. So, lets get started!
