Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 person

Equipment

  • 1 Juicer or blender (I used the Kuvings Auto 10)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 grapefruit (peeled)
  • 2 oranges (peeled)
  • 1 inch piece of Fresh Ginger (you can adjust the amount based on how spicy you like it!)
  • 2 key limes (or regular limes if you can't find key limes)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Ingredients:
    Peel the grapefruit and oranges. Peel the key limes  to make them juicer-friendly.
  • Juicing Time:
    Start with the citrus fruits. Feed the peeled grapefruit, oranges, and key limes into your juicer.Next, add the fresh ginger piece. You can either slice it up a little more for easier juicing or just drop the whole chunk in.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Pour the juice into a glass and give it a quick stir. The fresh flavors will combine beautifully.Optional: Add a few ice cubes for an extra refreshing touch.
  • Optional Extras:
    For a touch of sweetness, try adding a small spoonful of honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup to balance the tartness.If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in a pinch of turmeric for an extra antioxidant boost or a couple of fresh mint leaves for a cool aftertaste.
  • Clean Up:
    After juicing, be sure to clean your juicer right away—this helps avoid any sticky residue, especially with the citrus pulp.

Why You’ll Love This Juice:

  • High in Vitamin C: The citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, key limes) pack a punch of vitamin C, which is fantastic for boosting your immune system, improving skin health, and fighting off colds.
  • Ginger’s Benefits: Fresh ginger helps with digestion, inflammation, and metabolism—plus, it adds a lovely, zesty kick.
  • Easy to Make: Using a juicer makes the process fast, mess-free, and gives you a smoother juice with all the nutrients intact.

A Few Tips:

  • Customize the Ginger: Ginger can be quite strong, so start with a small piece and taste-test the juice. You can always add a little more if you love that spicy flavor!
  • Make in Bulk: You can juice several servings and store the juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just be sure to give it a good shake before serving, as natural juices can separate.

Enjoy this energizing, vitamin-packed juice as a morning pick-me-up or as a refreshing treat throughout the day. You’ll feel the difference in your energy and mood!
