Grapefruit Raspberry Smoothie is made with bananas, fresh raspberries, honey and grapefruit juice for the perfect morning smoothie that is sweet but with a little bitterness from the grapefruit that is delicious.
I think grapefruit is an acquired taste for many. Grapefruit has a citrus note like an orange but is also very bitter so pairing it with some sweet raspberries in a smoothie is really good! Grapefruit is high in vitamin C giving your immune system a little boost and high in fiber to help you feel full longer. Grapefruit may be a great addition to your diet!
This smoothie also offers nutrients from bananas and raspberries which also have great health benefits.
Raspberries
Raspberries have a high concentration of antioxidants which help protect your cells from damage and may even help fight wrinkles. Vitamin C and fiber are also high.
Bananas
Bananas are rich in potassium which helps in muscle contractions and in regulating water fluid in the body. Potassium may even help you maintain a healthy blood pressure by removing excess sodium.
