Creamy and Delicious Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie

Sweet & Tart Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie

Do you ever want something that’s both sweet and tart at the same time? That’s a common conundrum for me, as I do like ths sweet flavor of most fruit smoothies, but there are times when I crave something tart in addition, like grapefruit, lemon or lime. I knew that grapefruit would be a great addition to my usual strawberry banana smoothie, so I went for it!

If you prefer your smoothie on the sweeter side, definitely tone down the grapefruit in this. Use half a grapefruit instead of a whole one. But, if you’re like me and really enjoy the ZING! factor of a tart smoothie, keep the whole thing in. It’s delicious, I promise!

How to Make a Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie

Ready to make your strawberry grapefruit smoothie? Here are a few steps and tips.

Step 1 – Add liquids and soft fruit first.

Add the milk, yogurt, and grapefruit to the blender first. This will make it easier to pull in and blend the frozen fruit. Make sure you remove the seeds and peel from the grapefruit, and remove as much of the rind (white part) as possible to prevent any bitterness. Blend for 15-30 seconds.

Step 2 – Add frozen fruit.

Next, add your frozen banana and strawberries. Blend for 60-90 seconds until smooth and thick. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add 5-10 pieces of ice.

Step 3 – Add honey to sweeten.

Taste-test your smoothie at this point. If it’s too tart, add a teaspoon or two of honey. Two teaspoons did the trick for us. If you prefer a sugar substitute like Swerve, you can use that, too without adding many calories or extra carbs.

Pour into glasses, and enjoy!
