Today I am making my Anti-Aging How To Have Beautiful Skin At Every Age Smoothie. It’s very similar to the previous Grandest Grapefruit Green Smoothie that I made the other day, except this time we are adding to that the secret skin ingredient, which is cucumber. Cucumber is full of silica for our skin.
A large grapefruit yielded enough for this smoothie, I peeled it down to the membranes, removing the pith and the skin, and add the peeled grapefruit to the VitaMix.
Even if you’re not crazy about grapefruit, try this. I have to tell you that prior to my Grandest Grapefruit Green Smoothie, I’d never used grapefruit in a green smoothie and I’ve been drinking green smoothies for over 4 years. So you never know what you’re eventually going to crave and what your body is going to want.
To that I am adding almost an entire bunch of fresh parsley and a handful of mint. Deep green for super clean, mmm, the cleansing properties. I am only one of 70 million baby boomers and as we get older our skin gets thinner and drier, I noticed it in my parents as they aged and I notice it in myself. Our skin just doesn’t spring back the way it used to, but what we can do to help ourselves along is consume silica. I try to get a little bit of cucumber, raw and fresh, every single day.
I’m adding half of a large English cucumber, peeled because I couldn’t get organic, to the VitaMix. Grapefruit, parsley, mint and cucumber – and it’s amazing how creamy the cucumber makes the smoothie. You will see in a just a moment.
(Blending now approx 30 seconds.) There’s so much water in these ingredients it doesn’t take long to blend them into something smooth and creamy. Let’s see what we’ve got. Mmm, the parsley and mint just bursts out at you. It’s not a sweet smoothie but it’s not a bitter smoothie. It’s an astringent, cleansing smoothie. It’s a “Hi, I’m awake!” smoothie.
I like to pour smoothies like this into a big mug. Ever since I started drinking my greens, ever since I read Victoria Boutenko’s book, life has been better.
And you don’t have to be a vegetarian. I am an Everything-arian, I eat what I want when I want, but by adding green smoothies to my daily diet, everything is better.

[..YouTube..] MMM, I need to get some grapefruit. This looks really good!
[..YouTube..] Thanks. Make it and let me know what you think, and if you make any modifications, etc.Jane.
[..YouTube..] Awesome recipe, I do believe I will be trying this one!
[..YouTube..] @Jesavae I hope you do, and I hope you will come back ands tell me what you think – I love getting reviews, and it’s good for others, too, to get opinions other than mine

[..YouTube..] @blenditandMendit Hi, I got the ingredients for this from the store. I was unable to find the mint unfortunately. I did get the grapefruit, cucumber, and parsley. This was the first time I’ve used any of these ingredients in a smoothie. I didn’t really like the results and it might because I didn’t add the mint I’m not sure. However this smoothie is such a healthy one:P
[..YouTube..] @Jesavae Glad to hear it, let me know how you like it.Jane
[..YouTube..] @Jesavae If you are new to using greens in your smoothies and especially grapefruit, you may have to start with small amounts until you are used to these new tastes and combos – but you are right, they are healthy

[..YouTube..] @blenditandMendit Thanks it was actually my first time trying parsley ever actually, not just in the smoothie so that was probably a big reason. I usually always use spinach and arugula and so I’m so used to that I suppose. Yes either way its healthy and I did drink quite a bit of it. I appreciate your videos they are very helpful to me.
[..YouTube..] Can u freeze this?
[..YouTube..] @thisisyourdream67 I haven’t frozen green smoothies unless I’m making ice cubes, which I then use in other green smoothies or ice creams, shakes, etc.So I only have experience freezing them in small quantities. All you can do is try it and see what happens. If you do, please come back with the results so we can learn.Thanks, Jane
