Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready. If your strawberries and raspberries are not pre-frozen, you should freeze them ahead of time to achieve the best smoothie texture.
- Peel and chop the grapefruit into chunks. Remove any seeds to avoid bitterness.
- Wash the spearmint leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Add the frozen strawberries, raspberries, chopped grapefruit, and spearmint leaves into the blender.
3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Start blending on a low setting, gradually increasing to a high setting. Blend until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or a splash of juice until you reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or another sweetener of your choice and blend again for a few seconds.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- If desired, garnish each glass with a small sprig of spearmint or a slice of grapefruit for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal.
- Serve the smoothie immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.
Tips:
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can reduce the amount of grapefruit juice or add a banana for extra creaminess.
- Feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make this smoothie more filling, especially if you're having it post-workout.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- Make sure to blend thoroughly to ensure a smooth, even consistency. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water or a splash of almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- To enhance the minty flavor, use freshly picked spearmint leaves and consider garnishing your smoothie with a small mint sprig.
You've just created a vibrant and delicious Berry Grapefruit Smoothie that's packed with antioxidants and refreshing flavors. This smoothie serves as a wonderful pick-me-up at any time of the day.
