Breakfast- it’s supposedly the most important meal of the day, yet we often get it so wrong while we rush from our beds to our desks.
It doesn’t help that we are always being bombarded with new information- we should intermittently fast, we should eat breakfast, don’t eat carbs, eat some carbs but eat complex carbs, don’t eat processed food, avoid sugar, don’t eat bacon or don’t eat too much.
It can all become overwhelming and confusing. In general however, research suggests that a good balanced breakfast has positive results. Popular Science condensed this all into an informative article. If you are going to exercise in the morning, need a lot of energy at work (mental or physical) or are at risk for mid day unhealthy snacking breakfast is always a good idea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this using other citrus fruits?
Feel free to experiment with blood oranges, marsh grapefruits, pomelos and other large citrus!
Can I make the grapefruit and crumble the night before?
I wouldn’t advise making the grapefruit topped with crumble in advance, as the crumble would absorb the juices from the grapefruit. The crumble can be mixed up the night before and stored out of the fridge, in an airtight container, ready to go in the morning

Notes
Chefs Tip: If you can’t be bothered to put the oven on in the morning to make these fresh, make the crumble spread in one layer on a baking paper-lined tray. Once lightly brown and crisp, pop the ready-made crumble in an airtight container to use throughout the week. You can bake all the crumble free grapefruit for the week and warm them as needed. Simple top the reheated grapefruit with crumble and you’re good to go.
