Hands down my most favorite smoothie and the perfect choice for breakfast, lunch or anytime in between. Every member of our family enjoys this Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie and it couldn’t be easier. You’ll never find a prettier – or more refreshing! – smoothie. I find it hard to share this one and usually drink the entire contents of the blender carafe myself!

I seem to have a thing with grapefruit as they’re also the star ingredient in my Grapefruit Mojitos and Honey Roasted Grapefruit Parfait Popsicles. You can’t tell they’re my favorite or anything, right?
A great blender is key to a perfectly blended smoothie! I use my Vitamix and after trimming my grapefruit, simply toss it in the blender whole and let it do the hard work. I also prefer to use a frozen banana to ensure that my smoothie stays super cold for as long as possible. Sometimes this means I add an additional splash of orange juice to get the consistency I’m looking for.
Another perk to this delicious Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie? It’s easy to customize and completely make it your own! Chia seeds, protein powder and flax seeds as well as the occasional frozen kale leaf make their way into this smoothie when I’m feeling creative and looking to add even more good stuff to my breakfast.
