What are your favorite fruits?

Right now mine are fresh papaya, mango, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, peach, and pear. I also eat an apple a day so I enjoy apples too. I like all the above fruits fresh, but I find frozen blueberries are tasty too. Sometimes I freeze a mixture and add frozen banana for a delicious fruit smoothie (I will also add some greens in the smoothie, like kale, spinach, etc.)

I like all fruits except apricots and plums. It isn't so much the flavor with those two as it is the texture. I'm not real fond of honeydew melon because it doesn't have much flavor. My favorites are strawberries, watermelon, and cantaloupe.

All of them. Seriously, I love fruit.

And if you ever want a delicious, nutritious smoothie, freeze a banana and then blend it with some chocolate Silk. Tastes like a milkshake.

I love all fruits. A dietician once asked me if I had to give up all food groups except for one, which would I keep. I told her fruit! She didn't like that answer at all!!!

I suppose if I had to pick an absolute favourite it would have to be watermelon or strawberries. But any fruit will do!!! Well, except for pomagranites. I bought 2 whole ones and was completely grossed out by all of the seeds inside the little pods. I much prefer those juiced!

Why?

I like all fruits too, the only reason I sometimes choose to eat something like chocolate over fruit for dessert is because you can never be sure if a fruit is going to be ripe, sweet or how exactly it's going to taste- every one of them tastes a little different, a little less/more sour etc...

But pineapple is my all time favorite, followed by apples, plums, bananas, oranges...
I don't reach for a lot of strawberries or any berries at all for that matter, I just prefer other fruits over them.

Because fruit is super high in sugar. The answer she was looking for was vegetables.

I'm picky where all foods are concerned. So, why would fruit be any different ?

The fruits I like: apples, oranges, pears, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, bananas, honeydew, kiwi, watermelon, nectarines, apricots, lemons, and plums.

The fruits I do not like: pineapple (I'm allergic), cantaloupe, cherries, mango, papaya, grapefruit, dates, figs, pomegranates, and peaches, limes, cranberries, plantains, concord grapes, currants, and tangerines.

I'm sure there are more fruits that I like and others that I do not like. But, these are what came to mind right off the top of my head. Also, I know there are so many other fruits that I've not heard of or tried. And, I can't forget the fruits that we don't typically consider fruits (ie. tomatoes). But, that's my basic list for you.

Is it weird that I'm now craving fruit, lol?!

I love strawberries and fresh pineapple (not the canned stuff). I don't like grapes, the texture is weird to me.

Unfortunately, sugar is sugar. Too much, even if it comes from fruit, can cause hormone imbalances, and can lead to health issues, including diabetes.

Granny Smith apples with Mutsu apples a close second.

Nectarines, peaches, mangoes, blueberries (frozen blueberries are an awesome treat!) and cantaloupe.

I like all fruit. I don't eat strawberries because I have diverticulosis and the seeds in the berries irritate that. But I eat all other fruits and my favorite is the one I happen to be eating when someone asks.

I don't think I've ever had Mutsu apples, but I have to add I love Granny Smith apples! I don't like regular red apples.

Oh, this is a hard one! I love watermelons, canteloupe, peaches, plums, apples, strawberries... but I'd have to say that when I am looking for a snack I look for grapes. Not sure if that's my favorite, though.

I love love love lychees. Whenever they are available (I think in january and again in july) I take full advantage of it by buying them by the pound. Way better than candy !

Other favorite fruits are raspberries, strawberries, cherries, grapes, nectarine and pineapple (I have one waiting for me in the kitchen right now, mmmm) but most of the time I eat cheaper fruits like tangerines, bananas and Pink Lady apples.

Last year I had my first (red) dragonfruit and I really liked that, but I do not see any for sale very often. The texture is a lot like kiwi and so is the way you eat it (halve and scoop out with a spoon), but it is not as tart.
