I've never heard of a dragon fruit, what's it like?
Doesn't taste of much really but reportedly helps to balance blood sugars (google it) even though it has about 10g carbs as sugars per fruit. Not cheap but 1 lasts me 4 days. Just thought to give it a whirl. Got mine in Morrisons.

Hello all. I've been reading this thread frequently since I returned to lchf last week after my absence for a few months as I had fallen off the wagon. I think your ideas for food are great so I thought I would join in.
Breakfast. Raspberries with Greek style yoghurt :)

@mehhh2015 thank you. I like chia seeds but I must confess I'm not keen on the strong taste and smell of flax seed. :)
