Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup cherries, pitted
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
- Carefully peel the grapefruit and separate it into individual segments, removing any white pith and membrane to ensure a clean, sweet citrus flavor.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks to help it blend more smoothly in the shake.
- Pit the cherries by using a cherry pitter or carefully removing the seeds by hand to prevent any hard bits in the final drink.
- Add the grapefruit segments, banana chunks, and pitted cherries into a high-powered blender.
- Pour the vanilla almond milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the fruit to help with smooth blending.
- Measure out one scoop of protein powder and add it to the blender with the other ingredients.

- Serve immediately while cold and enjoy the refreshing, nutritious drink.
