Gratitude to Grapefruit Juice

“Gratitude is one of those things that cannot be bought. It must be born with men, or else all the obligations in the world will not create it”

— Edward F. Halifax

Looking for an extra citrus punch for your morning wake up? With a combo of greens, and lots of citrus fruits not only will your taste buds pop open, but your immune fighting cells are supercharged with all that Vitamin C!! Grapefruit, lemons and limes all are rich in Vitamin C that helps to combat colds, reduce risk of infection, and prevent against harmful free radicals that damage our cells and can lead to chronic disease and cancer.

Note: Your Citrus Peels actually contains lots of phtoynutrients, like the compound called limonene which has been shown to protect against certain cancers.  It usually is a taste preference for juices (I usually shave about half of my citrus fruits), as the peel will impart a bitter flavor.  But for those that want an extra nutritional WOW - leave the rind on! Just be sure to WASH WELL!!

Serves: 2 servings (each serving 16-20 oz)

  • 3 Ribs celery

  • 3 Limes

  • 1 Lemon

  • 1/2 Grapefruit

  • 1 Cucumber

  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce

  1. Wash all ingredients well and put through the juicer chute.
