I wanted to make a pretty pink juice to celebrate this special week for Valentine’s Day! I was admiring pink vegetables and fruits this week so I thought a nice blush juice would be a great juice to make. This juice contains high amounts of lycopene, carotenes such as lutein and zeaxanthin, anthocyanins, potassium, and pectins which are shown to have many health promoting benefits in the form of soluble fiber such as a decrease in heart disease and LDL “bad” cholesterol.
Ingredients:
2 cups of watermelon
½-1 pink grapefruit (depends on how tart you like it!)
1 pink lady apple
1 wedge of red cabbage
Directions:
1.) Peel the grapefruit (optional to peel – leave plenty of the pith) and watermelon.
2.) Chop all ingredients.
3.) Juice & ENJOY!
Substitutions:
Watermelon – tomato, red grapes, lychee
Pink grapefruit – mandarin, blood orange, orange, lemon, lime
Pink Lady Apple – any type of apple, red grapes
Purple cabbage – any type of cabbage
Sounds interesting enough! gonna give it a try!
I’m definitely gonna try this.
just made it with BrusselSprouts as it was the closest thing to cabbage i had in my fridge.. it’s a little lighter pink than yours of course but it taste very good!! happy with it!! thanks!!!
Gonna make it today..sounds yummy
[...] I am going to try Blush Juice, because I’ve been wanting to put a grapefruit in something. I expect it will be fresh [...]
Love the recipe, but it’s hard to find watermelon in February.
Red grapes it is.
Now when you say a wedge of red cabbage what exactly does that mean or how much is that?
Normally a wedge is 1/4 of a head of cabbage or lettuce.
I will definitely try this and use the recipe as a cocktail drink when I take my own drinks to parties.
Thank you for this! My husband and I had this juice last night instead of cooking a V-Day dinner
It was cute and fancy and we loved it. It is also very versatile – if you let it sit for a bit then pour you get a very rich clear juice. If you stir then you get more of a foamy creamy juice. This juice made a lot of froth (at least for me).
Tried this today – I used blueberries instead of the watermelon and I used a whole grapefruit. Ran the pulp through a second time. My husband thinks is tastes like cranberry juice.
My tastebuds are all out of whack right now because I’m fighting off a cold but it’s definitely not bad and I’m hoping it makes me feel better more quickly.
Can this be a meal substitute?
Just made this juice, but seeing as watermelon is a bit out of season, I used red grapes. I put the whole grapefruit in and it was kind of tart, but what a wonderful color! Decided in order to give it a bit more of a veggie kick and to sweeten it up a little, I added 1 red bell pepper. It wasn’t so blush anymore, more of a reddish/orange… but it made it just the right amount of tart! Delish! Gonna have to try it with watermelon and 1/2 a grapefruit next time though. Thanks for the recipe!
I am very interested in juicing and I do on occasion juice, but I am a Type 1 diabetic. I am on insulin which makes it easier for me to control my blood sugars. I wanted to know if you have diabetic friendly recipes and detox recipes?
It was pretty good. Cabbage overpowered the taste though… I think I’d use half that amount of cabbage and throw in another veggie that isn’t as strong.

I had only two of the actual ingredients here but I used raspberries, red grapes, grapefruit, a red apple and a few handfuls of spinach – oh my goodness it was so delicious!!!!
I just juiced this recipe, placed it in the freezer 2min for a chill, it’s so good and refreshing. I made one substitute 1 lime vs. grapefruit, I’m looking forward to having this again with the pink grapefruit. Thanks;)
Sounds awesome!
I KNOW this juicing is best fresh, but going to work, don’t have juicer at work, i freeze my next days, 2 juices…..anyone else doin g that??? I hear i lose alot of the nutrients???any thoughts on that?
Is it for blender or what? What kind of Machine juicer should I use for Blush Juice?
Thanks
