Fruit Smoothie With Kiwi, Grapefruit, Apple, And Banana

NOTE: Depending on the size of your blender, you may have to cut in half for each batch.

It is best to refrigerate the fruit several hours before preparing the fruit smoothie. To make the smoothie even colder, the banana could be peeled, cut into pieces and frozen ahead of time.

Thoroughly wash the apples. Cut into quarters. Remove and discard the core and stem. Place apple sections into the blender.

Thoroughly wash the kiwis and remove and discard the hard ends. Cut each kiwi into halves and add to the blender container. Peel the grapefruit and add the sections to the blender. Add the peeled bananas. Add the dates and flax seed.

Add the ice. Cover the blender and run it at "high" until the fruit and ice are thoroughly blended into the smoothie (about 1-minute).

Serve in a tall glass with a straw, and enjoy. A fruit smoothie also makes a great breakfast.
