Good to know

When you fancy something cool and crisp, this smoothie fits the bill. Fresh, slightly bitter and pleasantly smooth in the glass.

Swaps

Grapefruit → orange (milder in flavour, also contains vitamin C). Apple → pear (a little softer, also contains fibre). Coconut water → still water (plainer, just as refreshing). Mint → lemon balm (similarly fresh, with its own plant compounds).

Allergens

Naturally free of milk, egg, gluten and nuts. Grapefruit can interact with certain medicines – check the leaflet or ask your pharmacist. For children and in pregnancy, use fresh, well-washed ingredients.
