I know grapefruit is one of the best fruits to eat for beauty. Clear skin, cellulite reduction, shot of vitamin C ... well you get the picture. I love to eat them for breakfast .... but I am trying to have a smoothie every day for breakfast instead of cut up fruit.
It is easier for your body to absorb the nutrients from blended fruit. Also I find if I make a large smoothie I will sip it through the morning and it is satisfying right till lunch time !!
Ingredients are :
2 large grapefruit (any kind will do .... but I like pink )
2 oranges
1 cup frozen grapes (these little gems add some pretty colour and sweetness without using any sugar !)
and water to get your machine going.
So .... blend ... pour .... and enjoy !!
Now you could add a little Romaine or spinach to this, and the flavours would remain the same (pretty much) but I really like the look of a breakfast smoothie without it. Lunch + spinach for me. But I am having smoothies 2x per day. If this would be your only smoothie of the day I would throw in a handful of your favourite greens for sure !!
Let me know if you try this yummy wake you up smoothie !!
Happy blending !!

i tried it, and i can't believe that it only contains grapefruit orange and grapes! it was so thick and rich! so the caloric content must be ridiculously low. it was bright refreshing and stimulating. but i have to admit, i'm more in the mood for such a thing in the summer.
