Grapefruit

Back to A - Z

Jason says...

Grapefruit is great for stimulating the digestive enzymes, so really boosts the digestive system. If you haven't tried a fresh grapefruit and orange juice - you haven't lived! It tastes completely different to pre-packaged grapefruit juice.

Juice or smoothie?

Juice. Just peel the outer layer of the fruit leaving as much of the pith (the white stuff) as possible.
