Grapefruit Mango Smoothie



This Grapefruit Mango Smoothie recipe I found on Pinterest called for
  • 1/2 grapefruit
  • 1 orange
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 date 
  • 1/4 inch piece of ginger
  • few sprigs of mint
I didn't have any cucumber, dates or mint, so I used the whole grapefruit and added some honey to tone down the grapefruit taste. If you really love grapefruit you will like this variation. If the bitter grapefruit taste is too much for you, I'd say to make sure to add the cucumber.

It made it somewhat sour, but I also added frozen cranberries. Cranberries happen to be very high in iodine, so if you have hypothyroidism like me, they are great to add to smoothies. And if you enjoy sour things, then you will really love this smoothie with the added cranberries.

Overall, I would say that I really enjoyed this smoothie. It was sweet, but tart and very refreshing. I would give it four stars out of five.
