How To Cut Pineapple and Grapefruit

By Jen Paleracio | April 18, 2022

Looking for a great snack during the warm summer day? Fruits are refreshing and delicious as snacks. Pineapples are one of my favorites and grapefruits are my number one citrus choice to have in the morning. Let me show you how I cut my fruits.

Aside from drinking lemon water in the morning, I also eat some type of seasonal fruits. Cutting your own fruits will save you so much money. The price of pre-cut and packaged fresh fruits is ridiculously high nowadays. Most of the time, fruits that are in season go on sale. I also noticed that in summertime fruits are sweeter and more succulent.

how to freeze your pre-cut fruits for your smoothie

Peel and cut the fruits
Place them in a mason jar or ziplock bags
If you’re using a mason jar, make sure to place them in the fridge to thaw. It’s a lot easier to remove them from the mason jar when thawed.
If you’re using ziplock bags, please recycle them.
