Pink Grapefruit Green Detox Smoothies

Pink Grapefruit Green Detox Smoothies taste as good as they look! Sweet, clean, and full of green goodness and healing ingredients to detox and nourish you.

Dear friends sent a gift box of gorgeous ruby pink grapefruit, and I thought how can I use these in a clean healthy recipe? And this is what they became…

Kari from Get Inspired Everyday! wrote a post for Pink Grapefruit Green Smoothies and I thought what a fresh new twist on smoothies to add citrus juice from the grapefruit.

This recipe is inspired and adapted from Kari’s fresh take on green smoothies.

Recipe Notes

*Grate the ginger because the fibers in the ginger don't break down in a blender well. This recipe is inspired and adapted from Kari’s from Get Inspired Everyday! recipe post for Pink Grapefruit Green Smoothies. I love the fresh new twist on smoothies, adding citrus juice from pink grapefruit.
