It’s that time of year again! Feijoas are in season right now, and if you’re lucky, you’ve either got a tree in your own backyard or know someone with an abundance of fruit that they’re kind enough to share.

Feijoas are a hit in my household and as such we don’t like to see any go to waste. Sometimes that means getting a little creative with different ways to make the most of them while they’re still in season. Luckily, they’re a super versatile fruit, and can be used for anything, from crumbles, to chutneys to cakes! Here are four of my favourite ways to enjoy them:

1) A healthy breakfast option
Just scoop out the flesh and enjoy with a dollop of yogurt topped with nuts and seeds for quick and easy breakfast or even a healthy snack option throughout the day. 

2) A simple snack for kids
Like a typical Kiwi kid, Zac loves feijoas so I take advantage of this to get some of his 5+ a day in! I just chop them in half and let him enjoy as an easy and healthy snack. 

3) Feijoa fizz
Add interest to still or sparkling water with a few sliced feijoas - adding some natural flavour to your water is a great way to ensure you’re drinking enough throughout the day.

4) Delicious healthy crumble

Bake feijoas into a delicious healthy crumble. My favourite recipe is this one from Healthy Food Guide - Feijoa Crumble.
