I don't naturally like fruit. I am just not a sweets person, and this includes fruit. If given the choice, I will always pick salty type foods. However, I'm really trying to lose weight, and fruit is a reasonable snack in terms of calories. Why don't I like fruit? Here are a few reasons.
1. Fruit is sweet.
2. Most fruit is messy. I hate the feeling of apple juice on my hands, face, etc.
3. I am not good at picking good pieces of fruit.
4. What do you do with the extra bits (banana peels, apple cores, etc.)?
Buuuuut, in my effort to be healthy, I have been trying new stuff. So far I like nectarines, purple grapes, Fuji apples, bananas, and clementines, and DH says I would like white peaches. I tried mangos, but they weren't very good. I already know I don't like pears or regular peaches. Those both have textures that really bug me.
Is there any fruit that you particularly love? What do you do with your fruit trash? This is especially a problem for me because I often eat in the car. Yes, I know I'm bizarre for not eating fruit. I eat all kind of other crazy stuff, but fruit just has never interested me.
PS Ice cream is fabulous though. That is about my only sweets exception.

I agree with you on a couple of things.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the messy fruits either, but I love the way they taste. I try to eat a banana every day and I put the peel in my compost pile. I hate apples, and will never eat them if I can help it. I love cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, black berries, raspberries, grapes, pineapple, pears, and peaches. I just don't like taking the time to chop them up and prepare them, but usually after I do I'm ok. Blueberries are like miracle fruits. When I was little my gma made the best fruit salad ever, with all fresh fruit.
