Ingredients

2 cups fresh grapefruit segments, peeled
1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
1 cup water or coconut water
Ice cubes for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Peel and segment the grapefruit, peel and dice the cucumber, and chop the banana.

Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the grapefruit segments, cucumber, banana, mint leaves, honey (if using), and water or coconut water.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, add ice cubes if desired, and garnish with a mint leaf on top. Enjoy immediately for the best freshness!

Chill both ingredients first so you don’t dilute it with ice. Stir before serving, since the cucumber foam rises to the top.
