Color Me Pink
This recipe is a great way to start the day, especially if you are on a weight-loss program. It is low in calories, but the natural fruit sugars will keep your appetite in check. This drink is particularly rich in flavonoids. Make sure you leave as much of the albido (the white pithy part of the peel) as possible on the grapefruit, as this is rich in flavonoids.
Ingredients
1 cup raspberries
1 large pink grapefruit, peeled
Preparation
Juice the raspberries, then the grapefruit.
