Shot of Citrus Punch
This is the perfect winter beverage to enjoy when citrus fruits are at their most succulent. It's a tantalizingly fragrant, sweet-tart, pinkish-orange explosion of vitamin C! Great for breakfast or any time you need a shot of energy that's both powerful and tasty.
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium grapefruit
- 1 medium orange, tangerine, or tangelo
- 1 medium lime
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 tablespoon raw honey, raw agave nectar, or maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Cut the grapefruit, orange, lime, and lemon into halves and juice with a manual or electric juicer; strain out the seeds.
- Vigorously stir the honey and salt, if desired, into the juice until thoroughly blended.
- Serve immediately, complete with all of the fiber, as I do, or strain through a mesh strainer to yield a more clarified beverage. Mix with a splash of carbonated water to make a naturally yummy sparkling soda.
A good source of: antioxidants, vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, natural sugars, and fiber (if you don't strain it out)
