The combination of sharp-tasting grapefruit, the tangy pineapple, and the delicious vegetables makes this smoothie truly unique. Not only does it pack a big nutritional punch, it also provides plenty of energy in the form of carbohydrates. This is a great smoothie for when you need a more substantial meal in a glass compared to many other low-calorie greens smoothies. Great for immediately after exercise.
