Fruit is so sweet! I used to prefer candy to fruit, but now fruit tastes perfect, and a lot of candy tastes too sweet.

Also, things like onions and peppers, they used to be too strong to eat, but now they are delicious. I like these mature taste buds.

:) For some fun summer treats you can pop grapes in the freezer, or banana slices. An easy, sweet treat that is good for you.

Frozen grapes are :drool:.

Will have to give that a try... have been eating a lot of protein smoothies these days... sweetened with only bananas. It is pretty amazing-tasting.

Fruit is da bomb especially in summer, there's all these fresh berries and peaches and melons in the store. I love blueberries and blackberries, and sometimes strawberries, and cantaloupe. I consider bananas to be a staple in my diet. I also like fresh cherries and mango, though they both can be a pain in the ass to eat because of the pits.

I tend to cut oranges open and suck the juice out of them, and I'll put lemons or limes in everything, like water, diet soda, beer, soup.

I get in the mood for apples sometimes, but I think I get bored with them because I was made to eat them too much as a child or something, I am not sure what that's about.

Oh and on the topic of onions and peppers: I think they and garlic are crucial to many dishes.

You can always tell when nectarines are in season at the grocery store, the scent is undeniable.

Just summarize: you have a fruit problem.

My gramps used to take us berry picking in the Adirondacks. We would have little coffee cans around our necks with strings. One of my fondest childhood memories.

I love grapefruits in the morning. Peaches and apricots are my favourite fruits.

True it is about what you eat, but it's also about how much you eat.

You should eat small portians frequently, not big portians 3 times a day... If you eat big portians of anything, even grapes, it will stretch your stomach.

I like grapes, pineapples, peaches, apples, strawberrys, bananas, oranges, satsumas/tangerines and a bunch of other fruits too.

Thanks, why don't you share some smoothie recipes. My kids like banana shakes with some vanilla. Simple but tasty.

Oooh vanilla. Sounds nice. My current favorite is banana with nuts or PB, cocoa powder (unsweetened), some protein powder, and milk. Tastes like a milkshake almost, but it is a fairly good breakfast for a hot summer morning.

FRUIT SMOOTHIES FOR THE WIN, love my blender.

The other day I had 3 whole peeled bananas and half a pint of full fat milk, blended it up and hey presto, yummy banana milkshake.

I love fruit in smoothie form sometimes, be it milk or ice based.

Fruitarians

Adam and Eve were fruitarians in the Garden of Eden, pure as the driven snow, only there was no snow, not in the Garden of Eden, lions and tigers, yes, as the lion lay down with the lamb, but there was a talking snake with a forked tongue, destined to lie to Eve, and who warned her not to eat a particular fruit off a particular tree, but curiousity overcame Eve and it started to snow in the Garden of Eden, and the lion, yes the lion, ate the poor little lamb, and the fruit wouldn't grow in the snow, and so it was lamb chops for dinner, but every so often they cast their eyes back to the Garden of Eden and say, yes once we were fruitarians as pure as the driven snow, but now, do pass the mint sauce.
