Strawberry & Pink Grapefruit

Tart, pale coral and not remotely sweet. This is the one for people who find most smoothies taste like pudding.

350ml

One bottle

3 min

Start to finish

Ingredients

Vegan

Swap the honey

Strawberry and pink grapefruit smoothie in the Blitz bottle

What you need

100gFrozen strawberries, roughly seven whole
½Pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1 tspRunny honey
120mlCold water, up to the fill line

Worth adding

None of these are needed. Each one changes it in a specific direction.

1 tbsp Greek yoghurt — rounder, creamier 4 leaves Fresh mint — lifts the citrus 1 tsp Chia seeds — thicker, more filling A pinch Sea salt — sharpens the grapefruit

How to load it

Water first

Pour the water in before anything else. Liquid at the bottom is what lets the blades catch, and it stops frozen fruit jamming against them.
Grapefruit, then strawberries

Segments next, frozen strawberries on top. Keep everything below the fill line or the lid will not seat properly.
Honey last, then press twice

Drizzle the honey over the top so it does not sink and stick to the base. Lock the bottle on, press twice, and let the forty-second cycle stop itself.

What you get

A pale coral smoothie, thin enough to drink through the spout rather than eat with a spoon. Sharp on the finish from the grapefruit pith, with the strawberry filling in underneath. If it comes out too sharp, another teaspoon of honey fixes it without tipping into sweet.
