This healthy Citrusy Kale Smoothie is delightfully refreshing and healthy. It sports vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in abundance. The center of attraction are the freshly squeezed grapefruit and organic baby kale. One serving of grapefruit generates over sixty percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin C and 28% vitamin A. Kale adds even more vitamin C and A. It also adds almost three grams of protein and some calcium. Avocado and peanut butter adds a combination of healthy fats and protein. I love adding peanut butter to smoothies for the protein and healthy fat and the flavor adds a lot of smoothness – it brightens the taste of the Kale or any green leafy vegetables.

Notes
- This recipe used a whole ruby red grapefruit juiced – you can substitute the regular pink grapefruit. It yields anywhere from 1/2 cups to 3/4 cups of freshly squeezed juice. Both 1/2 and 3/4 cup works in the recipe without the need to add more of the other ingredients.
