Carrot Grapefruit Smoothieĭo you need other beverage recipes perfect for brunch? My favorites are an Easy Strawberry Honey Spinach Smoothie , Bacon Jalapeno Bloody Mary and Watermelon Punch, if you can find in season watermelon. If you can't deal with the pulp, substitute the fresh grapefruit with bottled no pulp grapefruit juice. You can add in more sugar if it is too tart.
You do have to really like pulpy grapefruit juice to like this recipe. Add the plain yogurt in, and this smoothie is definitely healthy.

Grapefruit juice may cause issues with some medications (I know heart medication is one of them), so check with your doctor if you are unsure.Ĭarrot juice has many of the same benefits as grapefruit juice, plus beta-carotene and high levels of vitamin K. They may help with weight loss, cancer prevention, and diabetes control. Grapefruit contains many vitamins and are high in fiber. I mean, a Carrot Grapefruit Smoothie should be simple, right?īoth grapefruit and carrot juice benefits are many.
I decided to shred the the carrots before cooking them so they would cook faster. I did some research and discovered that in order to make a truly smooth smoothie, I would either need a high powered blender (which I don't have) or I would have to cook the carrots first. I didn't feel like making a salad, and I wondered how carrots would be in a smoothie.
