What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the sweetest segments, choose grapefruits that feel heavy for their size.
- 2Use a serrated knife to cut clean grapefruit supremes with minimal juice loss.
- 3Pat grapefruit segments dry on a paper towel to prevent the yogurt from getting watery.
- 4Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy rather than soggy.
- 5Let Greek yogurt sit at room temperature 5 minutes for a creamier, less tangy taste.
- 6Make grapefruit segments up to 1 day ahead and store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Vegan
Replace Greek yogurt with a thick, unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt and swap honey for maple syrup or agave. Keeps the creamy-tart profile plant-based.
high proteinHigh-protein
Mix 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder into the Greek yogurt before assembling, and top with hemp seeds for an extra protein boost.

Replace half the grapefruit segments with orange or blood orange supremes for a sweeter, more colorful citrus mix.
