Start your day by drinking your veggies in this Green Grapefruit Smoothie that’s packed with protein & gut-healthy probiotics!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent some time planting flowers, herbs, and a bell pepper plant this weekend, so I’m pretty excited about the delicious things to come in the near future 🙂 Did anyone else get some gardening done this weekend, or do you plan to start a garden this year?
Y’all know I’m a big smoothie fan, and I love sharing my latest smoothie creations here for all of you to enjoy. This Green Grapefruit Smoothie is one of those that just had to be shared. It’s not a very sweet smoothie, but it’s a great way to sneak in some veggies and protein.
With one cup of baby spinach, cucumber, and grapefruit, this smoothie is a great way to get fresh fruits and vegetables at the start of your day. For protein, I added vanilla Kura Protein Smoothie Powder and Siggi’s filmjölk, a Swedish-style drinkable yogurt. Have you tried either of these?

I’ve been using the Kura Protein Smoothie Powders for quite a while now, and I like that they provide a nutritional boost to whatever smoothie I’m making. It’s like a multivitamin & probiotic supplement all-in-one! One scoop (40 grams) of the vanilla Kura Protein Smoothie Powder provides 14 grams of protein, 5 grams of dietary fiber, and 26 vitamins and minerals in 140 calories. It also contains probiotics, which help improve digestion and our immune system.
The Siggi’s filmjölk is a nice addition to the smoothie because it’s thinner than their Icelandic-style yogurt (aka skyr), and it contains 8 grams of protein in an 8-ounce portion + live active cultures and probiotics. Your gut is going to love you for treating it to this Green Grapefruit Smoothie!
