Ingredients
1/2 - 3/4 Grapefruit
2 Passion Fruits
3-4 Basil Leaves
2 tbsp. Agave Nectar
1 Medjool Date
1 cup Yoghurt (non-fat or Greek Yoghurt)
pinch of Sea Salt
6-8 Ice Cubes, you can add more to get the desired thickness!
Directions
Prepare the fruit: Carefully cut the grapefruit, ensuring to remove the bitter white pith from the pulp, scoop out the pulp of the passion fruit.
Place all the prepared fruit in a blender, however, begin by adding only half of the grapefruit to the blender. This gradual incorporation ensures a balanced flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
Add the basil leaves, agave nectar, pitted date, and plain yogurt to the blender.
Add a pinch of sea salt and a few ice cubes for a thicker and colder smoothie.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more yogurt or a splash of water if needed.
After starting with half a grapefruit, continue by adding small, cut pieces of grapefruit to the blender. Adjust the amount until you achieve the perfect balance of flavors in your Grapefruit Passion Basil Smoothie.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more agave nectar or another sweetener if desired!
Once blended to your liking, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious smoothie!
