Broiled Brown Sugar Grapefruit

This broiled brown sugar grapefruit was created as part of a sponsored post for DOLE as part of the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My entire family loves grapefruit.  When I was pregnant with my twins, I craved grapefruit and ate two or three whole grapefruits every single day.  Crazy, right?  It’s truly one of my favorite foods.  The only downside is having to cut the sections apart and scoop it all out so I love being able to grab a convenient, ready-to-eat DOLE Red Grapefruit Sunrise Bowl.  And what better way to celebrate National Grapefruit Month than with broiled brown sugar grapefruit!

DOLE Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowls make it easy to snack anywhere, anytime, year round.  They’re perfect for lunch boxes and a simple snack to keep in the car for mid-afternoon cravings or post-game hunger pains.

They also make a quick and easy breakfast.  And a healthy one, too.  DOLE Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowls contain peak-of-ripeness, wholesome, all-natural peeled grapefruit packed in 100% fruit juice with no syrups or artificial sweeteners.  These new fruit bowls are naturally gluten free, contain no GMO’s, and feature BPA-free packaging.

With just five extra minutes, you can turn this already delicious snack into a slightly sweet, totally delicious breakfast option.  Simply drain the DOLE Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowl and pour it into an oven-safe dish.

Sprinkle the top with brown sugar …

… and place it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the brown sugar has melted.  Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn!

The sweet, caramelized brown sugar coating is the perfect topping for the grapefruit slices.  It’s a favorite breakfast at our house!
