Grapefruit Kiwi Smoothie
Juicy, tangy and bittersweet, with a creamy base from the banana.
Grapefruit is loved for its mix of sweetness, acidity and light bitterness. Blended whole instead of juiced, it gives the smoothie more body and keeps the fibre of the fruit. Kiwi adds more acidity and its tiny seeds, while half a banana softens the drink and makes it creamier.
Pink or red grapefruits are sweeter than yellow ones and give a prettier colour. Note that grapefruit can interact with some medicines, so check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take regular medication.
Usually because of the white pith or seeds of the grapefruit. Trim them carefully.
