What is your favorite low carb. fruit? Mul... - Healthy Eating
Really love berries ( not blueberries) especially with coconut yogurt.
That's great to hear, Nimrod2 . I like a lot of the berries and a lot of the ones listed for the poll. I miss Grapefruit, but it's one fruit I had to give up for medication reasons. I use to eat it whenever it was possible years ago, though. 
Yes I am not allowed grapefruit either because of medication. ☹️
Love strawberries, pineapple, mango
Do you have them in a fruit salad or on their own?😀👍
Mango, cherries, nectarines
I'm planning to have some cherries added to a cottage cheese and fruit salad today, katwin . Haven't had cherries in a while now, though. I usually have mango mixed in with Greek yogurt.
I also like to eat apples, but then I eat a piece of cheese to counter act the action of the acid on my teeth. So in the end the apple might not be so low carb as first thought!
Do you cut the apple in half? This can cut down on the carbs. it'll have in it.
I take it you are joking. 🤣 I usually cut the apple into quarters and cut the core out before eating it.
We cut the apple and add the parts we are using. The core is cut out. The apple is usually not that big.
Grapes
Which type of grapes do you like (Green, Red, Black), Panz ?
Love green seedles grapes.
Those are my favorite ones before the red and black grapes, too.
Grapes of all colors! Moon Grapes are my very favorite beet they have a very short time of availability in the Fall.
Panz 🙏🙂💕☘️
What are the moon grapes?
It would be better if you just Goggled Moon Grapes. They are seedless, crunchy and very sweet!!! You might just pass when you see them in produce as I did for so long…Not any more!!! They are super great!!
Panz 🙏🙂💕☘️
Blueberries or rhubarb (not together)
I had some blueberries in my cottage cheese and fruit salad for lunch today. Really healthy and juicy.
Strawberries,raspberries, mango
I like all three-- especially mixed in with Greek yogurt.
Yes agree totally! Only way to have them x
Both combinations sound delicious. English cherries seem to have such a short life and they are probably my favorite fruit!
Do you have the cherries with anything on the side or mixed in with other fruits?
When I bring home a punnet (or box) of cherries I can't wait to rinse them and eat them au naturel!! With blueberries I would add them to Greek yogurt or with Bran Flakes and oat milk!
Hope everyone on Heart tablets know not to have Grapefruit. Brian
This is good advice, Bingo88 . What is your favorite fruit that's low carb.?
Not sure about carbs. But love most fruits. Just eat them raw. Never cooked. Tangerines. Strawberries and raspberries at weekends. Mainly plums and peaches in the week
That sounds good-- no matter if it's during the week or weekends.
I like plums cooked in a pan with a cinnamon stick and cranberry juice. It is lovely served with Greek yogurt.
This sounds really good, HKAnne . Do you do this recipe multiple times a week or once a week?
Hi Activity2004,No, not that frequently unfortunately. I always seem to be pushed for time, so usually just have berries. I mainly use this recipe if the plums are a bit tough or lacking in flavour, it's a Nigella Lawson recipe. 😀
That sounds interesting. Will look it up soon. Thank you for letting me know.
berries. surprised they are missing from list
So am I, I believe they have the lowest amount of carbs.
They were a good idea, but we're only allowed 8 choices when creating a poll, unfortunately.
Blueberries, dark cherries, raspberries & strawberries with thick Greek yogurt and honey. Breakfast every morning. 😋
That sounds like a great idea for breakfast. I really enjoy Greek yogurt and different types of berries.
raspberries
Do you have them on their own or with something on the side/mixed in?
Pineapple and Strawberries 😁
Those are two of my favorites for fruits, Debs. Thanks for mentioning them.
Same here, I don't think I have ever had them together
I love strawberries and double cream, either whipped or poured, as I am following LCHF
Yes, and they have very high levels of antioxidants. I buy frozen and eat different berries each day with homemade high probiotic (medical-grade) yogurt: blueberries, cherries, organic stawberries, , raspberries/blackberries.
😋😋😋
Also eat apples, raspberries and strawberries.
Do you have them mixed together for a fruit salad?
Sometimes chop them up and have them with Quark (fat free soft cheese). Usually for breakfast.
That sounds good. Is Quark like sound Swiss or Muenster?
Not sure, very creamy but slightly bitter. Fat free which is good. I use Quark in same way as yogurt or cream. A tablespoon stirred through soup gives it a smooth texture and taste.
Thank you for letting me know. That sounds like a good idea.
Berries! 😋
Which ones are your favorite berry?
Blackberries all day long. Then blueberries if I can find ones that aren’t mushy. Love strawberries at their ripest. Sweet…😋
Same here! They're really good.
Home made strawberry shortcake. Use biscuits(not cookies), instead of cake.
Also love grapes, peaches and nectarines ...but not the way they are chilled in supermarkets. Some peaches claim to be 'Ready to eat' and a couple of days later, you cut into it and often the stone has become mildew, although the flesh still not ripe enough. I also wish they wouldn't sell strawberries and berries such as raspberries & blackberries, in plastic punnets! However much I inspect the punnet, when I reach home, I always find one or two squashed against the plastic bow...and growing mould...cardboard boxes are best! For the same reason, I like fruit on paper not plastic bags! What a moaner, eh?!🤣
I always struggle to make fresh fruit and veg last, and agree that fruit packaging doesn't make the cut a lot of the time! I've bought apples in a bag of 6 before from Tesco and got home to find the middle two were both brown and almost rotten where they'd been pressed against each other... rob!
We bought some peaches recently and they are free stoned peaches. I had one in my fruit/cottage cheese salad today for lunch. Tasted good, but they should be easier to get the seed removed.
I like a plum, and I'm a fan of strawberries, they've grown on me for sure. Sometimes I like to make fruit salad and smoothies (Buying variety usually ends up being too much for me to eat it all in a fruit salad before it goes off, so the rest has to go in the smoothie!) with banana, apple, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and mango as a baseline. I've made some with oranges, kiwi, pear, grapefruit and red/black grapes before as well to mix it up. I know apple, banana and pear are more carby but in a fruit salad I only put half and get about 4 or 5 portions out of the full thing. It's nice in the summer and easy to portion out to take to work.
That's how we do the apples, too. We cut the apples in half and split them between myself and my mom when we have them for our fruit/cottage cheese salad. We did that today, too.
love grapefruit but cant eat because of meds, would have to be strawbs also cherries when in season.
Same here with the grapefruit and meds.. I eat a lot of strawberries when we can get them.
Raspberries and cherries 🍒 Quite apt as it is apparently National Cherry Day 😂😀
Thank you for reminding me about National Cherry Day. Did you have any cherries on the side or cherry Greek yogurt?
Definitely with Greek yogurt 😋
I’m not sure if they are low carb, but I also love to combine kiwi and dragon fruit 😋
Not sure about the dragon fruit, either, but I know the dragon fruit can help lower blood sugars for those that are type 2 or pre-Diabetic.
Nice! I didn’t know that! I was just introduced to it recently, and I was hooked instantly!
Mainly oranges also strawberries grapes melon
Do you mix them with other fruits, or are they on their own?
Oranges daily as a fruit Strawberries and banana on my breakfast with All Bran
Thanks
That sounds good. I usually have the small oranges since they are less carbs. than the big/regular oranges. Strawberries and bananas on cereal is a good idea. My mom puts bananas on cereal during the week and sometimes has one during lunch on the side.
Raspberries
Do you have them on their own or in fruit salads/side dish or dessert?
You asking about low carb, or fruit in general? low carb: blackberries, avocado. You can't really touch mango or pineapple, sadly, on low carb, but I do love them too!
Thank you for that information, amykp . It was mostly low carb. fruits.
We eat a lot of avocados when we have salads and as something to add on the side-- depending on what we end up eating at the time.
Blackberries are great for fruit salads (when we can get them) and on the side/on their own. I get blackberry Greek yogurt now and then and have that on the side for lunch when at home.
Blackberries and cream! Sometimes a few raspberries mixed in.
That's good. I like when it's possible to mix the fruits together.
Any berries
Do you have them on their own or mixed in a fruit salad?
Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries. These are all great with Greek yogurt. I got tired of the expense at the store so now I have my own blackberry and raspberry canes. We'll add blueberries next year.
This is a great idea for doing homemade yogurt/fruits together. Sounds delicious. Please post pictures when you’re ready.😀👍
My favorite low carb fruits are tangerine, honeydew melon, watermelon, berries (80g) and an apple. I love my fruits with my natural plain onken yoghurt. Above all it is really good for my friendly good gut bacteria. Plus it is my favorite breakfast in the morning and sometimes with weetabix or oatabix. What I call heaven in a bowl.
I really enjoy my low carb fruits but in moderation.
Thank you for including me in your polls and keep them coming as I really enjoy taking part in them.
Thank you, Lotus-Blossom . We enjoy doing polls for everyone and glad you enjoy participating in them with us. When we have a new poll coming soon, we will let everyone know what the topic will be dealing with— along with healthy eating/theme.😀👍
Strawberries 🍓 for me, know I am late but...
Strawberry 🍓 is one good low carb. fruit that I enjoy in a fruit salad.😀👍
Berries are the only fruit that isn't to sweet... only fruit that I was told I could eat.
Strawberries
