I love this cranberry and grapefruit smoothie! It’s refreshing, sweet, a little sour and all the flavors blend beautifully! I love grapefruit and you can taste it loud and clear in this smoothie but you can also tastes the cranberry and the honey, which I think is a part of the magic in this smoothie, nothing is over powering the other.
This makes about 24 ounces and if you have any leftovers you can freeze them in a sandwich size bag and lay flat in your freezer, that way you can easily eat then later by letting the bag sit in hot water for a few minutes then mashing up with a fork or spoon to create more of a slush or you can place in a blender with a little more cranberry juice for a really quick smoothie.
