This grapefruit smoothie is a delicious and refreshing breakfast drink. Sweet strawberries and bananas are blended with tart grapefruit and energizing orange juice for this icy cold citrus smoothie that will help you start your day off right.


What fruit goes well with grapefruit?

Grapefruit pairs well with banana, basil, black pepper, caramel, coconut, ginger, lemon, lime, melon, mint, papaya, pineapple, pomegranate, raspberry, rosemary, strawberry, thyme, tropical fruits, and vanilla.

Is grapefruit good for cleansing?

Grapefruit Can Help You Detox Your Body. Grapefruit is full of healthy juice – Grapefruits and other citrus fruits like oranges and tangerines are the ideal food for a detox diet. The sugars in the fruit juice are all natural and are easy for your body to break down for fuel.

Can you freeze grapefruit for smoothies?

Freeze grapefruit sections in a single layer on parchment paper. Frozen grapefruit can be eaten right out of the freezer, tossed in water for a fruit ice cube, used in smoothies, or thawed and eaten later

Is it okay to eat grapefruit everyday?

While the pith of grapefruit can have more of a bitter taste than say, oranges, it’s worth eating along with the fruit. Fiber is a good thing, and can help lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and possibly even colon cancer risk

Ingredients

  • Pink or Ruby Red grapefruit
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
Instructions

Toss the ingredients into a blender ( I like the Ninja brand ) and blend until smooth.
You may find a whole grapefruit is too sour for your taste buds so add half first and do a taste test to see if it needs more. This grapefruit smoothie tastes best cold so make sure the strawberries are frozen and the OJ is chilled
Tips
  • Add other fruits to change up the flavor!

    I love my pink grapefruit! It helps get rid of my acid stomach at first bite. Counter-intuitive but true. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. As much as I love pink grapefruit & smoothies I never thought to combine them. I can't wait to try this tomorrow for breakfast!
