Breakfast: Orange and Grape Salad

Breakfast time, what to eat? I know the pineapple isn't ripe yet because I can't easily pick off any of the top leaves. I've got loads of oranges and I still have some grapes, so I threw this little fruit salad together:


Simple, easy, totally fiberific. No dressing, the juice of the oranges and grapes replace any need for a dressing. The greens cut the sweetness and vice/versa. And as I mentioned yesterday, oranges and grapes combine very well. 

Oranges belong to the Acid family and grapes belong to the Sub-acid family, which can both be eaten with a lettuce mix. I could have thrown some avocado in this as well, but I decided not to this morning. This also adheres to Veggie Daddy Rule #1. I always try to eat at least one meal that is completely raw, and breakfast is a great way to do this. It's easy to get in the habit of eating a large fruit breakfast, because you're generally going to have a veggie-type salad with your lunch or dinner.

Eat (B)right,
Veggie Daddy
