Since the summer is coming we love to drink more and more smoothies every day. The combinations of fruits and veggies are endless. I had some leftover grapefruits and what is a better and sweeter way than having them in a smoothie.
Grapefruit is low in calories but very rich in nutrients. It is also an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Naturally it has a bitter taste but combined with something sweet it tastes delicious. Grapefruit is good for weight loss, blood pressure and heart health, is a rich source of antioxidants, helps digestion because it is rich in water and fibers, and because it contains Vitamin C it is good for skin and most importantly Immune System.
Usually I make smoothies with the juice of a healthy fruit or a healthy veggie, then I add berries and a banana. This refreshing smoothie is high in Vitamin C and that is why this helps your immunity. Grapefruit and Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C.
To make this Grapefruit and Strawberry Smoothie, you have to juice a big grapefruit and then throw frozen strawberries, frozen banana, the juice of a grapefruit and water in the blender . Blend everything until you reach the consistency you desire and enjoy with fresh strawberries and orange or grapefruit slices.
