Grapefruit Juice Blend

Slice grapefruit in half, then into quarters. Peel the skin off each piece, trying to remove the white pithy section as you peel it. Place this into the blender first.

Cut apple and remove seeds. We leave the skin on and cut into cubes that are 1 to 2 inches in size. Place this into your blender on top of the grapefruit.

Cut the ends off the carrots and peel (optional) then slice into 1-inch or smaller pieces. Add carrots to blender and blend for 1–2 minutes.

If needed, have your tamper nearby. With our Vitamix, we never need it, but depending on your specific blender you may. You can also add 1/4 cup of water if things aren’t blending well but we never need to do this.

Use a tea towel, 4 to 5 layers of cheese cloth, or a nut milk bag to strain the juice. Place the fabric over a large mixing bowl and pour the juice into the nut milk bag. Squeeze and twist gently to slowly push the juice through while leaving the pulp behind. If you squeeze too hard or too aggressively, more pulp will escape through the bag. If using cheese cloth or a tea towel, I find it’s best to layer the material over a sieve prior to pouring the juice out.

This is best consumed immediately or within 24 hours when stored in the fridge.
