Why Segment a Grapefruit?
What a lot of people don't know is that grapefruit is not sour! Well, naturally it is a bit tart, but it is not supposed to be unenjoyable sour. It is only this way because of the rind -- which should be removed through segmentation. It seemed daunting to me at first, but it was actually incredibly easy and fast! The segmentation process is actually why I wasn't consuming grapefruit for a long while, but now I am hooked on these Texas Red's! I had learned how to do it when I attended Matthew Kenney Culinary, but the chef that had demonstrated it during the class overcomplicated things. What I hope to deliver to you today is an easy and approachable segmentation method that will allow you to enjoy grapefruit more often, especially right now as it is at it's peak!
My Favorite Grapefruit Variety
I have tried both Texas Red is hands down my favorite variety. I actually have a grapefruit tree in my garden but ironically enough, it is the white variety :/ Texas Reds are slightly sweeter than the white because of their growing location (soil and temperature) and are what I recommend!
Seasonality & Availability
Texas Red grapefruit are in season Jan-Mar, so NOW is the time to get your hands on some. If you're in the US they actually have these Texas Reds from Winter Sweetz at Wal Mart through April:)
Crunchy, chunky AND oil-free? Could this be true?
I needed to find an easy go-to granola recipe that I could start making weekly for my home, as I started making smoothie bowls almost daily that the temperature has shot up here in LA! My combos vary based on what I have in the kitchen, but I got my hands on some frozen pitaya packs, and a frequent recipe lately has been this Cacao Pitaya Protein Smoothie Bowl (below), and you can find that full recipe here.
Bowls, bowls, bowls, what a beautiful thing.
I truly believe my food taste better when it is presented in an aesthetically pleasing way. Bowls are a normal part of my weekly (even daily) routine, whether it be a sweet or savory combination, simply because they are SO EASY to put together. Honestly, you can even just take all of those leftovers in the fridge, or whatever you have on hand and want to dive into in your kitchen.
Voila, a munch worthy, and most importantly, 
When 
As a full time nutritional science student & blogger, my weeks can get a bit caaarazy! I'm always looking for easy, healthy & oil-free ideas to get me through the school week, so I rounded up >> 
Afternoon snack attack? I've got you covered {and it's healthy, too!}. I wanted to put together a savory snack for once, and I think I nailed this one ;)
Not only will this satisfy your mid day slump, but it will also bring to you a plethora of nutrients in every bite! I included a whole slew of vegetables, healthy whole food fats {hemp and chia seeds} + probiotics.
