While this isn't the typical greens-based juice that we make in our house, it's absolutely DELICIOUS. The tart, slight bitterness of the grapefruit combined with the super sweetness of the pineapple makes for a ridiculously awesome combo. And, as usual, there are tons of benefits:
Benefits of Grapefruit:
- Prevents arthritis
- Acts as an antiseptic

- Packed with vitamins A and C (great for flu and cold prevention!)
- Boosts liver function

Ingredients:
- 1 large pineapple

How to do it:
- Peel grapefruit
- Clean pineapple, cut into slices. Don't worry about coring the pineapple, the juicer can extract from the core.

- Juice and enjoy!! The ginger adds an awesome kick.
