New fruit find!!

O my goodness....this weekend I discovered one of my new favorite fruits- kiwiberries!  On a whim, I saw these in my grocery store, and thought- why not, I love kiwi, and these are marketed as an easy to eat version!
Kiwiberry!


After just one bite, I knew I was sunk- it just exploded in delicious, juicy flavor in my mouth!  They are sweeter then kiwis, and you can just pop them in your mouth like grapes! So, none of the annoying peeling that you have to do with a kiwi.  Unfortunately, they are expensive....this tiny little container with maybe 10 little kiwiberries was $4.99 (I think, either that or $3.99).  You might be reading that and think I'm totally bonkers for even purchasing....but then you might not fully understand my fruit obsession.  At any time, these are some of the must have fruits in my kitchen....

I love all melons, honeydew and cantaloupe are staples to me!
Berries are a great natural antioxidant!  Strawberries are a non-negotiable.
Grapes are such an easy and filling snack- my favorite is green!
Bananas are my favorite just woke up snack and post workout.  Brain food!

I love all apples, except Red Delicious. Not so delicious...
So yeah....and I didn't even mention the other fruit I have most of the time- pears, nectarines, and watermelon.  I also get mangos, clementines, and kiwis sometimes- maybe 1-2 a month.

My name is Colleen, and I have a fruit addiction.  The first step is admitting, right?  Well, I don't want to fix this particular ailment because it's great to be a fruit addict, just a bit expensive....


What's your favorite fruit?  Tried something lately? Share!

    1. omg, I LOVE blackberies! My local grocery store was having a sale on them a couple weeks ago- 10 for $10 of the little size. I was eating them like they were going out of style!

  2. I wish I could get on the bandwagon. Staying within my calorie budget would be so much easier if I ate fruit!

  6. $4.99 is a lot of money, but if I compare it to the cost of a bag of Doritos (or insert your nemesis here) then it doesn't seem so bad. Good for you on trying new things.

  8. I'm with you on the fruit! Spent $30 today and came home with only fruit. I actually don't think I've met a fruit I didn't like....just some a little better than others! :) Thanks for the hint to watch for kiwiberries.
