The good thing about that is I get really good at making whatever that thing is. For instance, my favorite green smoothie. On the flip side, staying the course has its downsides as I rarely want to branch out and try something new. We’re about to change that. With a brand new year in front of us, I’m resolving to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. One thing on my list is try new smoothies. I knew I wanted to incorporate grapefruit since it’s in season and has always been one of my favorites fruits. My mom used to cut them in half for me when I was little and I’d happily eat away at them with a baby spoon. Not to mention, grapefruit is extra good for you this time of year with plenty of immune-boosting Vitamin C to help ward off colds, lycopene, and free-radical fighting antioxidants. This smoothie is simple, requiring just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes. In addition to health benefits from the grapefruit, it also has plenty of potassium and fiber from banana and apple, which add a creamy, natural sweetness I adore. As far as texture, it’s somewhere between a juice and creamy like a traditional smoothie. In other words, light and super refreshing. I think you guys are going to love this smoothie!

John enjoyed this recipe and he’s not as adventurous as I am in the smoothie department. Definitely a win in my book. If you guys make this smoothie, please let us know!
