Homemade Grapefruit Juice Is the Best – Tasty, Healthy and Easy to Make

Wild Blueberry JuiceThe best grapefruit juice is homemade grapefruit juice.  Store-bought grapefruit juice with sugar and added preservatives are not healthy. Also, it has usually been brought to a high temperature to preserve it, which reduces its nutritional value.

The best way to have a healthy glass of grapefruit juice full of health benefits is to make it yourself. You do not need a juicer. In fact, using a blender is better because a juicer removes the pulp, which is full of nutrients.  Some people add sugar to reduce the sourness of grapefruit but there are healthy alternatives to white sugar.

Homemade Grapefruit Juice Recipe Ingredients

Stevia is an important ingredient to give this homemade grapefruit juice some healthy sweetness. As I don’t use sugar  I often use stevia which is a healthy option.  The stevia plant is incredibly sweet and also incredibly good for you.  The leaf is 30 times sweeter than sugar while extracts are 300-400 times sweeter.  The best stevia will, therefore, be the one that retains some whole food value and is water-based.  Liquid forms will be less processed.  Go here to learn How to Get the Best Stevia Without the Bitterness.

Honey is so good for you that we have included it in our list of superfoods that should be in your kitchen right now. Honey helps prevents cancer and heart disease reduces ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders as well as reduces cough and throat irritation. It is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and increases athletic performance.  Honey is a probiotic and helps to heal wounds and burns while strengthening the immune system.

You can choose whichever sweetener you have on hand for this grapefruit juice.
