Training & Nutrition - Whats your favorite Fruit?

I love fruit and eat it all day.:love: Nothing like starting my day with a big glass of blended frozen bananas and a few really ripe kiwis.

Do you guys eat fruit? If so whats your favorite kind?

thanks

Watermelon!!!!!

Nothing like a huge watermelon to start the day, i love em :)

Pineapple!!! or grapefruit!!! soooo good :)

Yum, grapefruit is devine.

Pineapple is my favorite. Then fresh watermelon from the farms in Iowa. Then banana.

Tomatoes

1. Cherries 2. Pineapple.

Figs, blueberries, apples, pears

Blueberries. I get fresh when I can and keep Wyman's wild frozen around for when I can't. Second choice would be unsweetened dried cherries that I buy in bulk for making energy bars.

kiwis and watermelon. I can eat both all day everyday if given the opportunity.

I with you on that dude, i love kiwis.

NOT cherries!!


I like most fruit, but down near the bottom of the list, in random order, are:
-- grapefruit
-- cherries
-- strawberries
-- paw paw
-- fresh papaya
-- watermelon
-- tomato

I'll eat all of them now and then ... but I like many other kinds of fruit better. One of my favorites these days is mango, and I love mandarin oranges when they're in season.

No ... although I have seen them in the store. What are they like?

I also have never tried passion fruit, but I've heard they are good.

grapes. On hot summer days, you can freeze them and then put a few in a baggy....after a few hours on the road, they are still nice an cool, and quite refreshing as well as nutritious.

Aren't grapes mostly water? I've stopped buying cucumber's for that reason.. 89p and they're 96% water!

Pink Grapefruit's good, with lots of sugar of course.

Also, British Cox apples, in the winter months are just delicious.

yes, most fruit, unless dried (raisins?), are mostly water.

Passion fruit is wonderful!

You want food that is mostly water, unless you like being dehydrated all the time ;)

Whatever is in season...which in the Northeast is not much right now! I am going a little crazy with the apples and clementines at the moment...Eating locally kind of goes out the window when it comes to fruit in the winter, but oh well.

I try to eat as much as I can of what's local and in season until I'm absolutely sick of it...then I don't miss it so much while waiting for it to come around again the next year.

Is it spring yet?

Well I don't like being dehydrated. I get plenty of water. As for water content in food, I know it's high, but 96% seems a bit excessive. Trying to save cash at the minute, so I want foods high in nutrients.

Foods high in water content are usually high in nutrients, fruits, greens etc.

I buy cucumber because it's mainly water and next to no calories. I can put it on a sandwich, and have the illusion of feeling full, but have not consumed many calories to do so.

Grapefruit and oranges are pretty awesome, also a good quality apple. I also love berries of any kind (blackcurrants and raspberries esp.). Bananas seem to blow me out though, although I do like them. Oh and dates are the perfect on the bike food :)

Currently we're eating clementines like they're going out of season... because, well they soon will be. Easy to peel, seedless little gems. Also in season right now and quite tasty are pomegranates. I do get tired of them after a couple and don't mind them being available only a small time a year.

All-time favorite is probably red raspberries. Fresh only though. Like little bites of heaven I tell ya. :)

Only fruit I'm not a fan of is papaya. Just can't get used to the taste/texture.

holy mother of god it looks like someone removed the testicles of a giant lizard and removed the innards from its sack. How is this food? I've eaten strange things but why this?

I eat a lot of fruit. Usually 5 fresh pieces a day. It is not the most exciting but I love plums. I dont know why. Besides that I really like peaches, bananas, and oranges.

Apples and Banana's for me just because of the convienience.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to screw up either of those. A bad peach or melon can be spectacularly bad, but apples and bananas are almost always passable. Grapes too.

Okay, back to working on the 7 pound bag of clementines we bought last weekend...

It's a toss up between strawberries and jsharr

Only fruit I'm not a fan of is papaya. Just can't get used to the taste/texture.

I'm also not a fan of fresh papaya ... but I love dried papaya. It's a whole different fruit when it is dried.

I also love lychee ... I'll eat the canned ones, but prefer the fresh ones.

I know i already said watermelon(which rocks!!!) but i also got to add Khadrawy dates. Taste like pure caramel goodness. Medjools arn't too bad either if i feel like switching it up but khadrawys are the bomb :)

Rainier Cherries are most awesome, but I wouldn't eat them while on a ride. You have to do something with the pits.

Dates and figs. I can eat them non stop.

My favs, in order of preference -

Bananas
Watermelon
Pineapple
Blueberries
Strawberries
Apples (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady ONLY...yeah, I'm picky with apples)
Peaches
Red Grapes

I was still eating raspberries out of my garden a few days ago... even the underripe ones get sweet in the cold.

I had White Raspberries the other day @ a friends house, they were so good.

Pomegranates, although I'm a little sick of them at the moment.
I love starfruit. To me, it tastes the way flowers smell.

Watermelon!!!!!

Watermelon and cantaloupes

For me, cherries are too much work for very little fruit ... because of the pits. And they don't seem to have all that much flavour.



She says, despite the fact that she eats several cherries just about every day. I work in a cherry packing plant. Cherries are the Christmas Fruit around here.

Oh wow.....I :love: many different fruits.

Peaches, strawberries, figs, oranges, Gala or Fuji apples, bananas, grapes, grapefruit, kiwi, blueberries, cantelope

Mangos, bananas, pears, kiwis, and apples.

However, I prefer veggies over fruits. It seems that my sweet tooth is filled with cavities.

Raw veggies, or cooked??

This even put the 'Extreme Foods' guy from the Travel Channel off his dinner. If it's too much for him, it too much for me.

Favorite fruit? Easy. Oranges off the tree in the back yard. Hard to get too much better than that.
