From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I've been saving recipes for Pink Saturday for several weeks now. I was, however, uncomfortable about sharing them until I had a recipe of my own to use as a lead-in for the post. I didn't want to republish something you had already seen, so things stalled for a while. Then I remembered this very simple smoothie. It is a perfect drink for spring and early summer and the tangy grapefruit sipper is a wonderful way to start the day. It has fabulous color, great taste and, with just three ingredients, is very easy to make. It you like a bit of tang to start your day, I think you'll love smoothie. Here's the recipe.

They all look wonderful. And the smoothie looks like a must try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

The picture of the smoothie looks beautiful! Happy Weekend :)
I absolutely love all of these pink recipes! Yum!
Happy Pink Saturday, dear Mary! This is not only a delicius post, but a pretty one, too. I adore pink. It just makes me feel good. What would make me feel better, though, is if I could reach through the screen and help myself to those goodies! ;-)
Did I return to thank you for your recipe. I hope I did because I appreciate you and your thoughtfulness always.
Happy Pink Saturday, Mary!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Delicious smoothie and an awesome pic .I really loved all the other pink desserts and dishes .
what a lovely lineup of pink recipes!!!
I am not much of a smoothie person...but this ONE entices me! I want to sip it right now! Sounds so unique and refreshing!
That smoothie looks delightful! Love all the pale pinks together, just lovely.
This one is for us girls, right? All pretty in pink. I love the idea of a grapefruit smoothie, I can almost feel the tang in my mouth!!
This is a feast for the eyes. Matter of fact, these are really too pretty to eat!! I just like to look at them and not spoil their beauty.
Raspberry rose souffle - how grand! Now back to the smoothie - do you know I have never used anything but berries in my smoothies. What a creature of habit I have become. The ruby grapefruit just adds a little zest to the palate. Grand idea.
Another great recipe that I'll be sure to try! A good friend gave me the most delicious grapefruits and I love smoothies when the weather is warm. All the other recipes look scrumptious too so I'll be sure to link on them. Hope you have a beautiful pink weekend!
THANKS...now I'm craving PINK SWEETS! DEIDRE great shots!!!
After that pink showing, our sweet tooth should be having a fit. Never saw so many good looking, tasty pinks in one place.
I LOOOVVEE grapefruits and really can't get enough of them! This smoothie looks fantastic! And all those pink recipes are so cute!
Hi Mary! All of them look so wonderful! Couldn't bear to eat any of these beauties if i were you!

It's a bit funny, my last cooking theme was any dishes that are red and white, when combined it makes. I highly suggested my friend to make something pink none has dare to make it. It didn't cross my minds any dishes that are pink...Great pink goodies!
WOW! It's like heaven for a girl in here, all that pink, so beautiful. I love all of these treats!
Delicious and fabulous pinks recipes!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Soo pretty and wonderful looking pink beauties..Smoothie tempts me a lot..
I've never thought of a grapefruit smoothy... or grapefruit and strawberry.... it sounds so refreshing... lovely!
Beautiful, Mary. And I love the idea of Pink Saturday! Grapefruit really is an under-appreciated ingredient, isn't it? (It makes a very interesting swap for lemon in a lot of recipes.)

I'm crazy about grapefruit, have it every morning of my life. And I often have a smoothie mid afternoon made with frozen strawberries. Going to add grapefruit today!
Okay, I'm a big supporter of Pink Saturdays! I'm loving the bunnies and the pink iced tea. Brilliant.
And I totally dig the dummy-proof smoothie :)
I've clicked on all of them and still can't decide. I have a hard time passing up anything pink.

Happy very belated Pink Saturday, Mary. Can you believe I am still trying to visit from last Saturday, and here it is again.♥
You know I am loving all of this delectable pink bliss. I wish I could have some of each.
New to food blogging (since January) so did not know about Pink Saturday until finding your recipe through Foodie View! Our Strawberry Freeze post would have been perfect! Will have to check it out for next time.
Your smoothie looks and sounds delicious. I love pink foods, and I think the pink lemonade cupcakes sound wonderful also!
