35: grapefruit smoothie

grapefruit I am still loving the citrus, and while cruising the clearance book section at Chapters I came upon a smoothie book. I didn’t buy it, but I got inspiration from one of their recipes and used it to create the yummy drink below. Enjoy!

Grapefruit Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 large pink or ruby red grapefruit

1/3 cup cold water

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

1 Tbsp honey

5 ice cubes

Directions:

Peel the grapefruit and remove as much of the white pith as possible to minimize bitterness. Pull apart the sections and remove any seeds you find.

Add yogurt, honey, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth.

Grapefruit 3

Tips:

-Make sure you use pink or ruby red grapefruit. They’re sweeter than the more yellow ones. You’ll need to add more honey if you can’t find any!
-Adding vanilla yogurt instead of plain may also sweeten it up if you’re not a big citrus fan but looking for the refreshment.
-Supposedly grapefruit is a very cleansing food, so if you’re looking for a great diet drink, this could be it.

This sounds like something I would really enjoy!

If you like grapefruit, have you tried broiled grapefruit?

I never would have thought to do that! Did the membrane grind up okay?
