Pour your smoothie into two glasses and enjoy with your favorite toppings. Add your grapefruit segments, grapefruit juice, frozen pineapple, Greek yogurt, coconut oil and fresh ginger into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. I never would have guessed that adding greens would make something taste better. First, segment your grapefruit over a bowl so you can collect all the juice. This grapefruit green smoothie is now one of my favourite go-to ways to make a green smoothie.Īs the old saying goes, if at first you don’t succeed…try, try again. Since I was already so invested I decided to add spinach – what was the worst thing that could happen, really? Did the spinach fix the problem? Surprisingly yes.

Certainly drinkable but not necessarily enjoyable. 1 large ruby grapefruit 2 kiwi, skin removed 1 lime, juiced apple, cored 1 cup water ice fresh spinach (optional). Bad move – it was a bit strange tasting and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. But since I love yogurt thought I’d add that to the mixture. I thought grapefruit plus peaches, strawberries, mangos and pineapple would taste really good together…that was the base of my Grapefruit Smoothie…if I’d just stopped there I would have been in good shape. If you have time, freeze the coconut water into cubes for an extra-frosty. Electrolyte-rich coconut water is a refreshing dairy-free substitute for yogurt or milk. Ingredients 1 red grapefruit (peeled and deseeded) 1 kiwi 1 tablespoon ground flax seed 2 bananas 2 cups fresh baby spinach 2 teaspoons stevia (optional). I actually started out to make a grapefruit tropical smoothie as you may see in the picture below. Pineapple, grapefruit and spinach are packed with water and minerals, which can help hydrate you and supply your body with a bounty of fiber too.

Optional: unflavoured or vanilla protein powder. 2 Tbsp hemp seeds (hemp hearts) 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen) 1 medium banana (fresh or frozen) 1/4 cup avocado chunks (fresh or frozen) 1 tsp vanilla extract. Spinach and grapefruit – a surprisingly good pairing 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt ( benefits of Greek yogurt) 2 Tbsp chia seeds.
