Grapefruit was a hard sell for me until I paired it with something sweet. This strawberry grapefruit detox smoothie balances the bitter pith with ripe berries, and the result is bracing in the best way.
Refreshing Strawberry Grapefruit Detox Smoothie
This detox smoothie features ripe strawberries, fresh grapefruit, and a splash of citrus flavor from lime, blended together for a creamy, satisfying drink. It is quick to prepare and perfect for any time of the day, serving 2.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 medium grapefruit, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 banana for creaminess
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Hull the strawberries, peel the grapefruit and segment it, and slice the banana.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine strawberries, grapefruit, banana, honey, coconut water (or almond milk), lime juice, and ice cubes.
- Blend until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Add more coconut water or almond milk if too thick.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Use a sweeter variety like Rio Red if you can find it. A drizzle of honey on top takes the edge off the rind.
