Pink Lady
Zingy
Ruby red grapefruit give this drink its brilliant pink color and a sharp edge that will wake up any sleepy head.
1 ruby red grapefruit, peeled
1 white grapefruit, peeled
1 handful cranberries
Juice the grapefruit and cranberries together.
The white pith of grapefruit contains pectin and bioflavonoids which make them an excellent antioxidant food.
Cranberries aid in the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections.
Avocado Ice
Creamy
A liquid, Japanese-inspired guacamole on ice -- nutritiously delicious and refreshing. We love it.
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed
1 lime, peeled
1/4 cucumber
1/2 avocado, peeled and stoned
1 tsp wasabi (optional)
3 ice cubes
Juice the lettuce, lime and cucumber. Transfer to a blender and blend with the avocado and wasabi. Serve over ice.
Avocados are the most energy dense and nutrient-rich fruit per calorie.
Wasabi, which is also called Japanese horseradish, is available in specialty stores and Asian markets in both paste and powder form. It has a hot, fiery, pungent flavor. Take care.
