Superfood Fruit Salad
South African grapefruits are available in UK supermarkets from May through to October. Look out for red, pink and yellow varieties, which are sweet and refreshing.
TV chef and author Sophie Michell has designed three recipes using South African grapefruit, which are ideal for enjoying alfresco during the summer season.
"Breakfast should be all about sunny, vibrant, vitamin packed goodness to wake you up the right way, no sugary cereals and greasy fry-ups! Grapefruit is full of vitamin C and potassium and has long been known for its fat burning qualities, so gets your metabolism going from the start.
"I have added the yoghurt and pistachios for the all-important protein, to keep you sustained throughout the morning."
