   Step 2: Serve grapes on a charcuterie plate.

   Charcuterie plates make for a delicious and appealing pre-meal appetizer or mid-afternoon snack, but can be high in fats and low in fibers.
   
   To remedy this, and to add a sweet fruit flavor to the rich cheeses, cured meats, mustards, and crackers, add a handful of grapes to the plate.If you don’t want to take the time to put together a full charcuterie plate, you can make a simpler plate of cubed cheese, whole-wheat crackers, and grapes.
   
   Opt for a cheese with a sharper taste — like cheddar or gouda — to cut through the sweet flavor of the grapes. , Grapes are a common breakfast food, and match well with the thick, grainy texture of French toast.
   
   Try preparing the meal with whole wheat bread, cinnamon sugar, egg whites, and a topping of sliced grapes to give your breakfast a rich flavor with plenty of protein.
   
   You can also top your toast with other healthy fruits, such as bananas, for a healthy and sweet breakfast.
   
   For the sake of variety, switch the type of grapes that you serve with your breakfast.
   
   Red grapes tend to be firmer and have a stronger flavor, while green grapes are a little larger and have a mellower flavor.
