Pineapple and Grapefruit Smoothie

Last Updated on By 26 Comments

I have decided this pineapple and grapefruit smoothie is my welcome to spring signature smoothie. Seriously, I just spent an hour sitting under the nectarine tree in the yard, sipping on a grapefruit smoothie while the kids played (QUIETLY!), and I am so so ready for spring (not that we have had much of a winter).

Pineapple and Grapefruit Smoothie

I was in the very lucky position of being gifted a massive bag of grapefruits from our lovely next door neighbours. It was a very Home Improvement-esque moment (that TV show from years ago with Tim Allen – loved it 🙂 ), where I was in the yard playing/weeding with the kids, and a little neighbourly head popped over the fence offering gifts of fruit.

I massively craved grapefruit during both pregnancies, but I have never really done anything with them, other than eating them straight, so I figured I would have a bit of a play and come up with something a bit more exciting to be enjoyed in the beautiful 76F degree day we were having.

Pineapple and Grapefruit Smoothie

This grapefruit smoothie was absolute perfection. You still get that tartness I love from the fruit, but the pineapple cuts right through it and gives it a sweeter edge, while the pomegranate adds some extra health benefits, and makes everything a pretty pink colour.

I hope you love this grapefruit smoothie as much as we did! For more drink recipes, check these out:

Ingredients

  • 1 grapefruit peeled (I used a yellow grapefruit, but pink would work well)
  • 1/2 cup frozen pomegranate arils (sub frozen berries if needed)
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut water (sub filtered water if needed)

Instructions

  • Pop everything into a blender and blend until smooth (see notes)
  • Serve and enjoy

Notes

If you don't have a high speed blender, you may have to do this in batches so you don't have bits of the pomegranate seeds left in there. Pop the pomegranate and coconut water into the blender, blend until completely smooth, then add the rest of the ingredients, blend and serve

    This looks so good I just had to pin it so I have it ready when we have grapefruit available (goal: this weekend’s grocery run)! I wish I could drink it under our nectarine tree in our yard too. But first we have to plant the tree. Or get a yard. Lol. Thanks for sharing!

      Haha that gave me a good laugh Jolina 🙂 We were in the same position for a long time – now finally have a yard big enough for fruit trees (and I like to soak it up as much as possible!) I hope you love it as much as we do!! I have one neighbour grapefruit left, and then will have to start adding them to the shopping list again

    That color!!!! Now that I think of it, I hardly ever do anything with grapefruits either, just eat them the way they are. But this sounds like a delicious way to take them to another level. The combo with pineapple is just amazing

      I have actually only started adding them this season, and I now have it in there every morning 🙂 I am totally addicted to grapefruit though!
