Who doesn’t love a fresh fruit juice, packed with vitamins and energy? This simple fruit juice recipe is perfect for an energizing morning or as a healthy treat throughout the day. It combines the fruity flavors of apples, grapefruit, lemon, and strawberries to create a refreshing drink that not only cools you down but also boosts your mood. We will focus on a simple yet effective technique to obtain a natural juice, free from additives or extra sugars.

Your ingredients, kitchen friend, are:

- 1 pink grapefruit
- 1 sour apple (preferably a green apple, like Granny Smith)
- 1 half lemon
- 150-200 grams of strawberries (fresh, preferably)

Now, let’s embark on this simple yet flavorful process!

Step 1: Preparing the Fruits
Start by peeling all the fruits. Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruit in half and remove the peel. Likewise, peel the apple and lemon. Make sure to remove all the seeds to avoid bitterness in the juice. The strawberries should be thoroughly washed and cut in half if they are large. The fresher the fruits, the more delicious the juice will be!

Step 2: Cutting the Fruits
Once you’ve peeled all the fruits, slice them thinly. This will facilitate the juicing process, allowing the juice to be released more easily. The apple slices should be slightly thinner to blend well in the mix, while the grapefruit and strawberries can be cut into larger pieces.

Step 3: Juicing the Fruits
Now comes the fun part! Use a fruit juicer with a pulp separator. Add the apple, grapefruit, lemon slices, and finally the strawberries one by one. Each fruit brings a distinct note, and layering them in the juicer allows for an even extraction of the juice. Make sure to let the juicer do its job while you enjoy the aroma wafting through the air.

Step 4: Serving the Juice
Once you’ve obtained a delicious and aromatic juice, pour it into glasses and serve immediately. The fresh and vibrant taste will be a true delight! You can add a few thin lemon slices or whole strawberries for decoration, turning the drink into a true work of art.

Useful Tips:
- Use organic fruits if possible, to enjoy a truly healthy juice.
- You can experiment with other fruits, such as oranges or pineapples, to vary the juice flavor.
- Fresh juice can be refrigerated, but it’s best consumed immediately to benefit from all the vitamins and nutrients.
- If you prefer a cooler juice, add a few ice cubes to the glasses before pouring the juice.

Nutritional Benefits:
This juice is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients! Grapefruit is known for its detoxifying properties, while strawberries are rich in antioxidants.
