My Skin Quencher Smoothie

Pink grapefruit contains high levels of vitamin C, cucumber floods the body with anti-inflammatory properties and rose soothes the body on a cellular level.  The antioxidants in this smoothie will fuel you for days, brightening your skin and your spirit - plus it tastes absolutely yummy.

Ingredients
3 small pink grapefruits, or 2 large
5-inch piece of cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/4 tsp. rose water
5 ice cubes
Stevia or maple syrup to taste

*Make it into a cocktail - add a measure of vodka or gin*

​Remove the skin, seeds and membranes of the grapefruits - you should end up with about 2 cups of peeled grapefruit slices.

Starting with the grapefruit, place the cucumber, rose water, ice, sweetener (and gin/vodka if making a cocktail) in to a blender.  Bend on high speed until fully mixed.  Taste and add more rose water if desired.  If it tastes slightly bitter you can add a few drops of stevia or 1/2 tsp. maple syrup - blend to mix and serve over ice.
