Cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit just enough to reach the flesh.

Turn the grapefruit so one of the cuts is facing up and cut down the rind following the curve of the flesh.

Continue removing the peel all the way around the fruit and slice off the remaining white pith.

Quarter the grapefruit from top to bottom and trim off the center core of the wedges.

Cut each quarter wedge in half.

Place the grapefruit into a blender first to ensure the mixture contacts the blades.

Cut the cabbage leaf into small pieces.

Slice the celery stalk into about 2cm (0.8") pieces.

Add lemon juice to the blender.

Add water to adjust the consistency.

Add 5 to 6 ice cubes, ensuring to use a blender capable of crushing ice.

Cover and pulse several times, then blend the mixture until smooth.

Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy.

If not sweet enough, add ripe bananas, honey, or soy milk to taste.
