Winter is Citrus time...so go out and get some! Citrus, even though it is winter fruit, taste like sunshine. You can drink orange or grapefruit juice, but then all you get is water, sugar and some vitamins. If you actually eat the fruit you get all the fiber and it will fill you up much longer than the juice!
Here's some ways to enjoy the fruit:
1. Cut a few oranges into 8 wedges and throw them into a bowl in the fridge or into a baggy. Then just snack on the wedges during the day.
2. Get yourself a grapefruit knife. Cut your grapefruit in half (Indian River is the best grapefruit). Section the fruit with the knife. Drizzle 1 tsp of honey on each half. Place under the broiler a few minutes until it is hot and bubbling.
This makes a good breakfast treat or even a nice dessert.
3. Make some Sicilian orange salad. Cut the peel off an orange. Cut the orange flesh into slices or chuncks. Then season the orange with salt and fresh pepper. Drizzle with 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil. Even kids like this salad. It can be served on a bed of lettuce if you want to dress it up.
