Rise and shine, readers, it is a New Year! Happy 2025, everyone! Before I get to the recipe, I want to share that I will be making changes to The Galley Gourmet. I started this blog back in 2010, but a lot has changed with the platform that I am currently using (like the HTML codes and my printable recipe link that prints out HUGE pictures, and what is a 404 error anyway?). So, it is time to make a fresh start. Having said that, it will take me a bit of time to transfer all my recipes and updates to a new site, but I promise you will still have access to my over 700 recipes until the big reveal!
Did you know that grapefruit is an excellent stimulant to cleanse the intestinal tract when consumed first thing in the morning? After the last two months of rich holiday food, that is a great way to start off your health this year. With the addition of oranges and strawberries (they are higher in vitamin C than grapefruit), you’ll get a nice dose of vitamin C, which I think we all need after mingling with family and friends. I use pink or red grapefruits because they are sweeter than the white ones. I also use Cara Cara oranges for the same sweet reason. I was lucky to find some delicious fresh strawberries this time of year, but if you cannot find any, frozen ones can be used. They are usually IQF (individually quick frozen) right after they are picked, so they retain the sweet berry flavor. The only thing that will change by using frozen berries is that the end result will take longer to blend and have a slightly smoothie texture. Either way, it is a great way to start off any day of the year! Happy juicing!
*WARNING- Grapefruit juice can interact with certain medications, so please check with your healthcare provider before proceeding with the recipe.
Rise and Shine Juice
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large pink/red grapefruits
- 2 large oranges, I use Cara Cara
- 6 large fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters
Instructions
- Using a handheld reamer, a press, or an electric juicer, juice the grapefruit (you should get about 2 cups) and the oranges (you should get about 1 cup). Strain the juice to remove small seeds from the grapefruit and any excess pulp, if you prefer. Transfer the juices to a blender, add the strawberries and blend until completely smooth. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
