Cucumber Grapefruit Juice

Cucumber Grapefruit Juice, anyone?

Happy Saturday! My favourite day of the week is finally here and it is a nice, unseasonably warm and sunny day.   It doesn’t get much better than this especially since everyone woke up this morning in a good mood.   My husband seems to think it is warm enough to get all the outside furniture out and ready but I think he is just asking for it to snow again. 

After a busy morning, lots of walking, and a little grocery shopping I’m sitting back with my feet up and sipping on this simple, delicious, and refreshing Cucumber Grapefruit Juice that has just a hint of ginger.

Given how easy juice is to make even when you don’t have a juicer I can’t imagine ever resorting to buying juice from the grocery store again. Besides, you aren’t too likely to find interesting flavor combinations in the aisles of your local store, at least not here in Canada. I also love that this adds just one more reason why I love my Vitamix to the already lengthy list.

Cucumber grapefruit juice with a touch of ginger is a super simple, light and refreshing juice that will quench your thirst and leave you hydrated.

Peel the grapefruit, cucumber and add a slice of ginger, filtered water to the blender and blend away.   I recommend running the resulting mixture through a fine-mesh strainer then pouring into your glass filled with ice and sliced cucumbers.   Then guard your glass so that you don’t have what happened to me the first time…I was slowly sipping and took my eyes off my glass for a minute and turned and my 8-year-old daughter had drained the glass. I guess you could say this was another kid-approved recipe.

  1. Vitamix lady .. I might have to buy one. How much room does it take on your counter .. will it fit under the counter?

    1. I have the Vitamix Pro 750 and it does fit under my upper cabinets. You would want a “low profile” container to have enough clearance. If you are serious let me know and I can help you choose a blender that meets your needs.
