Orange Grapefruit Smoothie

An orange grapefruit smoothie with a secret ingredient

Try this delicious orange grapefruit smoothie. You’d never guess that the secret ingredient is carrot but you’ll love the refreshing taste.

Still enjoying my latest batch of Florida Oranges. Can’t imagine a better way to start a sunny day even if the temperature is cold outside. As long as I don’t step outside I can pretend that it is warm like a nice summer day.

If you like grapefruit then this is the perfect light and refreshing smoothie to get your day started right.  If you aren’t a big fan of grapefruit then I suggest you try my favourite Strawberry Orange Green Smoothie which still benefits from the sweet taste of Florida Oranges. 

This smoothie isn’t bitter from the grapefruit like you might expect and you’ll never guess the secret ingredient but I’ll tell you anyway..another “orange” ingredient – carrot! I use any opportunity to get more veggies into our diet and this has worked very successfully.

Would love to know what “secret” ingredients you use in your own smoothies….I’m always looking for new ways to get veggies and extra nutrition into my daughter’s diet.

Try this delicious orange grapefruit smoothie. You’d never guess that the secret ingredient is carrot but you’ll love the refreshing taste.

        1. No problem if the banana isn’t frozen. It will change the texture of the smoothie but won’t impact the taste.
