Cantaloupe melon - colorful
Hi jimk_mb ,I also like cantaloupe with other fruits mixed together, but sometimes it's hard to find a ripe or soon to be ripe cantaloupe by me. 
During the Summer months we have a trio of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries every evening for dessert, they are supposed to be good for your immune system.
Yes, all the blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are supposed to help a person's immune system. I actually had a blueberry yesterday in a salad at a luau lunch. Was a little surprised to see it since the salad was actually a spinach salad.
I ticked "Other" as Blueberries don't seem to agree with my system so I don't eat them.
That's okay. What fruit do you eat other than blueberries, Rosepetal60 ? I'm not allowed to have regular oranges or bananas because both have too much potassium in them, but I can have the plantains and baby oranges.
I avoid Oranges because they make it mega too easy to let iron into my system and I’ve got more than enough already . I do like raspberries, strawberries 🍓 and cherries. watermelon, melon and also bananas every so often. Pears ( conference) are a regular now as have heard they are good for one’s health. Not had grapes or apples in last few months. Great poll Activity2004
Thank you for saying that about the poll. I appreciate it very much. We will have a new poll soon about beans.😀👍
That’s interesting about the oranges. The regular ones have too much potassium in them and aren’t okay when on blood pressure medication. Smaller ones are okay with blood pressure medications.
That’s useful to know about the potassium level in the larger oranges, another good reason for not eating them. Will pass it on to a friend of mine who’s looking for ways to bring their potassium levels down. 🙂
Sounds good! You’re welcome. I also gave up drinking Orange juice for the same reason. When I have juice, I drink either apple, pineapple or cranberry juice for blood sugar raising in emergency basis. 😀👍
I like blueberries, but I prefer them with red soft fruits, probably because they colour other fruits.
Do you eat the blueberries and the red soft fruits as a fruit salad, Midori ?
Blackcurrants
That's great to hear. Do you mix them with the blueberries as a fruit salad, or on the side, Downtime ?
I buy frozen ones and microwave till defrosted then mix with blueberries and zero fat Greek yoghurt. Drizzle of honey as they are pretty tart!
Thank you for that information. I will have to try this soon. Hopefully, I can do this after the weekend.
Sorry not keen on them except in a muffin!
Yes, I can occasionally eat them in a Gluten free muffin. I'd forgotten about them in muffins.
That's okay! I eat blueberries both in gluten free baked goods or in fruit/cottage cheese salads. Both good either way, in my personal experience, Nimrod2 .
And Nectarines
They're good together, too. I've had both together in a fruit salad for either part of a cottage cheese salad or a fruit salad as a dessert, excel1234 . Both ways are good.
I don't eat blueberries. Love to eat watermelons, cantaloupe, bananas, strawberries.
Watermelon, strawberries and cantaloupe are some of my favorites to add for a fruit salad or on their own with or without blueberries, Itzallgood1 .
Cool whip is good too🙂🙂🙂
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and grapes
All those are my favorites when it's possible to have them on the side or in a fruit salad, too, chris47 . Do you have them for a dessert or side dish at meals?
The fruits I like to pair with Blueberries are: Bananas, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Apple. This is what I call Summer in a Bowl or shall I say Heaven in a Bowl plus a healthy way to start my day for breakfast. I have my Berries with my Natural Onken Yoghurt, Cereal (Weetabix, Special K Original, Pancake...) I could go on.
Love this survey you really got me talking, I love talking about healthy living and eating. I even replace my biscuits with fruits, nuts and crackers. Look at me I just can't stop speaking about it.
I really should consider a job that promotes healthy living and eating.
I hope this will encourage others like myself who love talking about healthy living and eating. I really enjoyed taking part in this survey and I can't wait for your next one.
Thank you for saying that about the poll and the information you gave for what you like with blueberries, Lotus-Blossom . Great ideas to add with the blueberries and other fruits/nuts. Very helpful!
Cherries, I like a few blueberries and cherries together, always on an empty stomach because fruits travel faster through the gut than other types of food. Fruit eaten after a dinner can cause gas as it is slowed up and ferments.
Thank you for that information about eating fruit after a meal, zube-UK . I forgot that can happen if eating fruit after a meal. Much appreciated!
I'll put most fruits in a fruit salad, except Blueberries. There's something about Blues that, for me, seem to pair well with Raspberries and Strawberries.
That's okay. With or without blueberries sounds great when doing a fruit salad.
I have all the fruits especially at breakfast on my cereal. I also love them as a desert
Sounds good to me, too, chris47 .
I have blueberries strawberries black currants in my porridge for breakfast
That sounds really delicious, snow4drop . Will have to try this on a cooler morning day.
Apple, pineapple or red grapefruit
All those sounds great to have with blueberries, Onegramatatime . Pineapple and apples (red) are two of my favorites to have when eating blueberries.
I love all fruit but my favorite fruit to pair with blueberries has to be pineapple 🙂
Panz 🙂🙏💕☘️
That's always a good pairing with blueberries. I add pineapple whenever there's some in the house for cottage cheese/fruit salad or as a dessert when we do mixed fruit.
Blueberries, cherries.
That sounds great, fitbitfan . Both are good in parfaits and added into fruit salads.
I like to make a red, white and blue dessert for the Fourth of July. Strawberries and blueberries, mixed in with whipped topping and I cheat a little. Shaved dark chocolate mixed in and sprinkled on the top. No baking, no fuss, just refrigerate. 😋
That sounds really delicious, Isinatra . I haven't had that in a few years. My Aunt had made it.
It’s so simple and you can tweak it any way you want. I picked up the recipe from a friend in Louisiana who is from Iowa. Small world…..
That's great! Does your friend do the recipe every Summer or year round?
Lol She made it once a year, then I moved and she moved and we lost touch. She made a mean whole wheat banana walnut bread, too. Sorry, I just had to share that. ☺️
It’s okay! Bananas are on the list so no sorry necessary. It sounds good. Can the bread be made with no wheat flour?😀👍
Do you mean like almond flour and such? Good question. I’ve never heard a yay or nay about it. And I’ve never cooked with anything but white or whole wheat flour. 🤷♀️
Yes, almond flour. Will see what happens when it’s possible.😀👍
I’m sure it would turn out just fine. 😉🔮
Thank you!😀👍
None
That’s okay! What fruits are your favorite?😀👍
Think I like all fruits but I try and concentrate on veggies as they have less sugar.
That sounds good!
