Honey Grapefruit with Banana

-
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 the best 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.

Prep: 5 minutes. When you're hungry for breakfast at suppertime, enjoy a bowl of this sweet minted fruit with an omelet.

No need to cut out sweets while watching your weight! Fruit is a great alternative to more fattening sweet treats, and it provides vitamin C and fiber. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, to boot.

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


How to Make It
Step 1
Drain grapefruit sections, reserving 1/4 cup juice.

Step 2
Combine grapefruit sections, juice, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill.
