Some berries on my plain yogurt. Fruit with dinner (varies) for my kid that won't eat veggies. Occasionally an extra apple as a snack.

OP here. I am single and I hire a person who comes to the house every two days to help me with washing/cutting and preparing meals. I love fruit but it takes too long to eat.

I eat strawberries for my mid-morning or afternoon snack only. I'm not a huge fruit fan but I can eat veggies all day, everyday.

I usually have 2-3 servings throughout the day, whatever we buy that looks good.

Usually eat while working / as a snack.

Sometimes cooked in things (berries in pancakes).

Or thrown in things (banana in cereal or on pb sandwich; berries in yogurt).

Currently, clementines are on heavy rotation with apples & berries.

I like fruit I don’t have to cut / prep.

I don’t have that much fruit and I eat whatever is in season, so most of your fruit wouldn’t happen for me

If you are blending the avocado anyway, I suggest buying frozen avocado at BJs or Costco. I put a couple chunks in smoothies for my kids to make them more filling when I don’t have tofu or yogurt. It’s a creamy, neutral flavor easily covered by blueberries.

That’s so oddly specific. I usually have 1/2 a small avocado on wheat toast for breakfast and I nibble at the bowl of berries I put out for my kids. I usually have an apple and 2 kiwis or 2-3 clementines for snacks during the day. My kids usually have pineapple or melon with dinner this time of year, So I may have a bit then too.

And forgot pineapple chunks in Greek yogurt

I see you're taking the "eat the rainbow" thing literally. No way I would prepare all that stuff every day just to get the colors right. Eat the berries over a fibrous cereal. Have the avocado on a salad, and have something else for a snack (orange, apple, whatever)

Oh, and forgot avocado toast!!

Snack on red grapesblueberries, navel orange segments and bananas

Work lunch usually consists of apple slices and pb or sharp cheddar

That's a lot of fruit! For avocado, I enjoy it so much that I'd rather have it in non-blended form. That's also a 600+calorie smoothie, I think? It sounds like you are a person who doesn't like to stop to eat, so these smoothies may be a really good way for you to get real foods, fiber, and calories. I like to eat, so I do better bringing a couple pieces of fruit to work (or a baggie of sliced fruit) and snacking on it.

That's a lot of liquid sugar and your skipping the fiber benefit. I eat 2 oranges a day at work and usually an apple/pear or pineapple (cut into chunks) after dinner. . Maybe berries on the weekend.

Why do you need so much fruit in a day? I eat grapes, couple of handfuls, few strawberries, whatever looks fresh when I go shopping. I don't eat nowhere that much fruit daily, or in 3 days.

Why do you think that you need to consume that much fruit?
