Suitable For: Waking up tired eyes, fighting off the common cold, and anyone who loves tart, refreshing citrus flavors.
Health Benefits: This is a pure antioxidant bomb. It supports collagen production for firm skin, boosts the immune system, and improves iron absorption from other foods. Kiwi is also excellent for digestive health.
Ingredients
- Grapefruit -- 1 medium (peeled)
- Oranges -- 2 medium (peeled)
- Kiwis -- 2 fruits (peeled, though skin is edible if washed well)
Steps
-
Prep: Peel the grapefruit and oranges, removing the bitter outer rind but leaving the white pith. Peel the kiwis (or scrub well if keeping skin).
-
Juice: Alternate the softer kiwi with the firmer citrus segments to ensure smooth processing in the juicer.
-
Mix: Stir well, as the kiwi can sometimes separate slightly.
- Serve: Best served chilled or over plenty of ice.
Tips & Variations
-
Sweeten it up: If the grapefruit is too tart, add a red apple or a handful of strawberries.
-
Green Power: Throw in a handful of spinach; the strong citrus flavor will completely mask the taste of the greens.
- Mocktail: Top with sparkling water and a sprig of mint for a healthy non-alcoholic spritzer.
Best Time to Drink
At breakfast to jumpstart your metabolism, or whenever you feel a sore throat coming on.
