I’m the first to admit I don’t do healthy resolutions, goals, workout plans, endless bowls of kale, etc when the new year rolls around.

Oh, and did I mention the touch of coconut that almost makes you think you’re drinking a piña colada/lounging on a tropical beach somewhere far away?
I mean, you’ll almost forget tat you’re just out here living you’re most balanced life because these are that good…

Instructions
To make the grapefruit bowl:
- First, make the grapefruit “bowls”. Slice the top third (or fourth, depending on the size) off each grapefruit (feel free to snack on the tops or save them for garnishes).
- Run a paring knife around the edge, loosening the fruit. Then, use a serrated spoon/grapefruit spoon to gently remove the fruit and juice.
- Continue scraping out the insides until most of the fruit is removed (they don’t need to be perfectly cleaned out), give the “shells” a quick rinse under warm water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
- You will need the fruit and juice of one grapefruit for the smoothie recipe, but the rest can be saved for snacking or other recipes.
To make citrus smoothie:
- To make the smoothie, add the fruit and juice of one grapefruit to a blender, along with the oranges, bananas and coconut milk.
- Blend on high until smooth, about 50-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut milk or grapefruit juice. If the smoothie is too thin, add more frozen bananas.
- Immediately pour the smoothie into the grapefruit bowls. Jazz them up with the toppings of your choosing!
