I am not a grapefruit kinda gal, never have been. Seeing as I’ve been finding them at the bottom of my CSA basket, I had to come up with a recipe to use them. Usually, when I receive a fruit or veggie I do not like, it goes right to the juicer. The grapefruit was no different, except I had to mask the strong grapefruit taste with something. I decided to choose ginger. That stuff can mask any taste!
I am pleasantly surprised and happy to announce that, on the first try, I made a yummy juice. I know, hard to believe, eh? I don’t know how I did it, but it worked.
Now, I know you are dying to know how I pulled it off. Because I am a such a nice person and want to pass on “how to mask grapefruit in a juice the right way” or at least my way, I guess I will let you in on it.
Drum roll, please.
Pamplemousee Ginger Juice
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 ginger nob or as much as you can take
Serving: Makes one pint
Juice it all in your juicer and enjoy all the goodness in a glass!
However, my juicer isn’t the top of the line, so I decided to juice the orange and grapefruit the old fashion way with my glass juicer. The celery, apple and ginger went through the electric juicer. I find I get more juice from the orange and now, the grapefruit this way.
If you do not have a juicer and want to try it anyways-no guarantees this will work though. Place the apple, celery, ginger and peeled orange and grapefruit in a blender or food processor. I would recommended dicing the fruits and veggies before putting them in. Blend it all.
If anyone attempts option 2- please let me know if A- it worked and if B- it tasted good.
I think I am going to go and sip my refreshing juice with my new bendy Glass Dharma straw. Nothing else quite says the perfect juice than a reusable glass straw!

I am the Good Girl Gone Green. Seeing garbage cans overflowing with recyclables breaks my heart.
Sounds great! I love ginger, but like you, am not the biggest fan of grapefruit. I do like grapefruit juice though. Thanks for sharing.
Peace.
It really is delicious!
I puffy heart adore grapefruit. When I was pregnant (eek ten years ago…) I worked for a commodities company and at Christmas we got a ton of Harry and David gifts and for some reason because we sold frozen concentrated orange juice, people gave us crates of grapefruit…I was the only one who liked grapefruit! So I ate a lot of it. To this day if there’s a grapefruit in the fridge, it could be 5 am or 11 am or 10 at night, I’ll eat it.
I want some just thinking about it….
The juice sounds good minus the celery. I just don’t know if I could do that one.
Puffy heart! Love that expression! You can taste the celery. Let me know if you like it, Andrea.
I’m not a grapefruit fan either. Whenever they come in our CSA box I usually end up leaving them in the donate box. Maybe I’ll give your recipe a try the next time one appears!
Let me know if you try it!
Yum!!! This sounds delicious!

Thank you.
This sounds sooo tasty, but unfortunately, I’m unable to try it because my medicine reacts badly when coupled with grapefruit. I didn’t know it at first, but am glad that I found out before eating something with grapefruit in it. Everyone should definitely make sure that if they are on meds of any kind, that it won’t be affected adversely by grapefruit.
You could always just leave the grapefruit out! I am sure it will still be tasty!
