Did you know that February is National Grapefruit Month? My family loves grapefruit, so I made them this red grapefruit and pineapple smoothie – it’s the perfect way to start the day!
Our family has been hooked on Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise bowls lately (they make a great on -the-go breakfast or snack!), so it was only a matter of time before my smoothie fanatic children started begging me to make them a grapefruit smoothie. The peeled grapefruit segments are picked at the peek of ripeness, and packed in 100% juice, so the pre-packaged bowls are actually perfect for smoothies. Just toss everything straight into the blender, and it’s ready to go!
What You'll Need:
- 12 oz Orange Juice
- 1 Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise Cup
- 1 cup Pineapple, frozen
- 1 cup Strawberries, frozen
- 1 cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- Handful of Ice
Instructions:
- Blend all ingredients until smooth. Serves 2-3.
This smoothie is incredible delicious and packed full of vitamins and nutrients, so it’s great anytime…but since grapefruit and pineapple are both thought to have fat burning and metabolism boosting properties, it’s extra awesome if you’re trying to slim down.

I have pinned this smoothie recipe, but I have a question regarding the pineapple. It isn’t clear to me whether you are using frozen pineapple juice or frozen canned/fresh pineapple. I hope you will respond to this. Thanks
Hi Sherry! I used Dole frozen pineapple chunks for this recipe! It comes bagged in your grocer’s freezer section. 🙂
Thanks Heidi. That makes it clearer. I bought fresh cute pineapple chunks. I wondeer if I could freeze them and use them.

This is going to be a refreshing treat when the weather gets a little warmer. It will probably be my go-to snack all summer so that I can wear my swimsuit with a little confidence. Thanks for linking it up at This Is How We Roll Thursday.

let me confess – I don’t like grapefruit but you made this look so good that I pinned it because I want to try it! Looks good!
Thanks, Laura! 🙂

This seriously looks so good. I want to try it. I love grapefruit and have been eating one every morning lately. This will be a nice substitute!
We’re addicted, Jillene! Seriously, we’ve had this almost every morning for a couple of weeks now. SO good!
