How To Make Blueberry Grapefruit Orange Smoothie:
The smoothie consists of 3 main ingredients which are the fruits, and a liquid to help the blending process.
These are the ingredients you will need:
- Frozen Blueberries
- Fresh Grapefruit Juice
- Fresh Orange Juice
- Water or coconut water for blending
The process of making the smoothie:
- Juice your own grapefruit and orange (avoid using store-bought fruit juices)
- Grab a blender, then add your frozen berries in first since they need to be closer to the blades.
- Add the rest of your ingredients to the blender and blend.
- The blending took 2-3 minutes when I made the smoothie, but it will depend on the power of your blender.
- Serve this blueberry smoothie with fruit juice and enjoy!
Smoothie Recipe Tips & Customization Ideas
Since the smoothie recipe is quite basic, only containing 4 ingredients, there are plenty of options for you to elevate it a bit more.
Here are some ideas:
- For a thicker smoothie, add 1/2 cup of frozen banana slices, it will also help add more sweetness and nutrients to the smoothie.
- The smoothie is fat-free, which means it’s not as filling. If you want to make it a bit more filling and rich, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or nut butter.
- Instead of blueberries you can use other berries too; raspberries or strawberries both work just fine.
- As an addition to the berries, you can add 1/2 cup of pineapple pieces too, which can add a nice tropical flavor to the smoothie.
