Grapefruit, Basil and Ginger Smoothie

Grapefruit, Basil and Ginger Smoothie

If you’ve never tried basil in a smoothie, it’s a must. Herbs add a kick of flavor and some of the most potent antioxidant power of any whole food. Grapefruit is also a health superstar, known for its powerful combination of potassium, lycopene, and vitamin C. Substitute orange for grapefruit if you're taking any medications that grapefruit can interfere with.
