    variety is better than eating the same thing day in day out.

    my favourite fruits are berries, honeydew melon and mango. separately or all together in a fruit salad.

    I have an apple everyday without fail - it's one of my favourite fruits and also high in fiber. Berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) are really good, pineapple, tangerines/clementines/satsumas are good for that sweet kick, grapes, pomegranate (seriously underrated fruit!), the list is pretty endless!

    Do you like bananas, tangerines & kiwis? There are worse ruts you could be stuck in.....

    When you say better are you referring to nutrition, glycemic index, vitamins, anti-oxidants etc?

    Personally I'm a big fan of bananas - they're tasty, filling, high in fibre, packed with potassium and readily available - I also like berries (blueberries in particular) - sweet but low in sugar / calories, full of antioxidants & vitamins. And let's not overlook the humble apple - a huge variety of types (I'm love golden delicious) flavours and textures.

    My best suggestion would be to base your choices on what's locally available , eat what's in season when you can and don't be shy about buying frozen blueberries (fresh are tastier but spoil more quickly and the ones you buy in winter are often tasteless Peruvian abominations)

    I vary my fruits....but I usually always have some sort of melon and a mixture of berries at my house. And I always grab mangos when they are on sale...because I love them.

    ha ha I do like bananas tangerines and kiwi but just seem to reach for them automatically, wasnt sure if any fruit was more healthy than any other. Ive never tried mangos so thats one for the list , I also tried Persimmon the other day which I liked but ended up with a sore tummy afterwards! Ill try and be more adventurous next time I go food shopping. Are tinned and frozen fruits just as healthy?

    i'm a big fan of apples. i read once that an apple has the same amount of energy as a can of coke. since then i've replaced my 3pm soda and candy with an apple and some almonds, and i've never felt better.

    I dunno about tinned, but i have heard frozen fruit and veggies are just as nutritious (some say more since they are often frozen at peak of freshness right at farm)
