Honey Grapefruit with Banana

Sunday, August 3, 2014

Trying to trim down or stay slim? You can't go wrong with this tangy tropical fruit salad, perfect for breakfast or as a colorful side dish at brunch. Grapefruit is one of thebest foods for weight loss, studies show—perhaps because of the effect it has on insulin, a fat-storage hormone.

What's more, grapefruit is deceptively filling. It has one of the highest water concentrations of any fruit (about 90% of its weight is water), and all that juice fills you up fast and prevents overeating.

Ingredients

• 1 (24-ounce) jar refrigerated red grapefruit sections (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup sliced banana (about 1)
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped mint
• 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

Drain grapefruit sections, reserving 1/4 cup juice.

Combine grapefruit sections, juice, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill.
