3. Mix the cinnamon and ginger powder in a small bowl.

4. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over both halves of the grapefruit.

Why Grapefruit and Warming Spices Make Sense

Pink grapefruit is rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene, known for their role in supporting natural immune defences and skin vitality. When combined with cinnamon and ginger — both traditionally valued in natural health circles for their warming and digestive qualities — it becomes a beautifully balanced start to the day.
