Skinny Girl Bethenny Frankel lands $4.2M SoHo pad after exhaustive apartment search
Bethenny Frankel has finally landed new digs
Another skinny girl is moving to SoHo.
“The Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel’s exhaustive apartment search — which spanned Hudson Square, Tribeca and SoHo — has finally concluded, she revealed on this week’s episode of Bravo’s reality show.
Frankel, whose business empire includes Skinny Girl cocktails, nabbed a two-bedroom, two-bathroom pad at 22 Mercer St. in SoHo for $4.2 million last year and is now in the midst of renovating it before she and daughter Bryn move in, the Daily News has learned.
The property, at 22 Mercer St., has just 16 apartments
The apartment, which had been on the market for four months, has a sunken living room, soaring 14-foot ceilings, double mahogany framed arched windows, plank walnut flooring, wine storage and a large wood burning fireplace.
The stunning landmark building has just 16 units.
Listing broker Sabrina Saltiel of Douglas Elliman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Frankel — who split from hubby Jason Hoppy in 2012 but is still in the middle of a messy divorce — had long been on the hunt for a permanent home since Hoppy refused to move out of the $5 million pad they shared in Beyoncé’s building at 195 Hudson St. in Tribeca. Frankel owns a house in the Hamptons but she and her daughter had been hotel hopping when they were in the city.
“I’m the richest homeless person in Manhattan right now,” Frankel, 44, said on the show.
Frankel appears to still be hopping mad over Hoppy’s refusal to leave their former love nest.
“The fact that I live in different hotels, corporate apartments, I’m totally without a home for over two years and he lives in the apartment that I worked my whole life to buy — it doesn’t even make any sense,” she tells broker and “Million Dollar Listing New York” star Fredrik Eklund on “RHONY.”
Frankel was seen working with designer Aaron Kirsten to make changes to her new pad on the episode.

How to Make a SkinnyGirl Margarita
How to Make a SkinnyGirl Margarita. When summer is approaching and you're out for a night on the town or hosting a party--it never hurts to watch your waistline while you're drinking. Here's a quick and easy recipe for the SkinnyGirl (or, guys, you can drink it, too!) Margarita. It is skinny because most margarita recipes call for sweet and sour or margarita mix, both of which contain a large amount of sugar.
Make a Skinny Girl on the rocks by adding ice to a rocks glass, add 2 oz. (a two-count) of white tequila, the juice of four lime wedges and a splash of Triple Sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau. It's that easy!
If you're ordering a Skinny Girl at a bar, you can have it on the rocks, but replace the Triple Sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau with a splash of frozen margarita mix. You get the same great flavor and a little bit of a different texture.
If you want a frozen margarita, combine all of the ingredients in a blender; just make sure that there is 2 oz. of tequila per serving and you're ready to go. Serve in a chilled glass--and if you'd like to garnish the glass, rim it with a lime and dip in salt or sugar or both.

Baked Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Happy (almost) Friday y’all!
Ok so I am absolutely loving spaghetti squash right now. It really is one of the most versatile vegetables to cook with and is the perfect substitute for pasta! You may be thinking “yeah right,” but it’s true. Hey I love pasta as much as the next person, but if I can find a healthier swap
You all are going to seriously LOVE this baked spaghetti squash casserole with meat sauce! Are you a vegetarian or not a fan of beef? Leave it out because this homemade marinara is absolutely delicious all on its own. Confession: I literally couldn’t stop shoving heaping spoonfuls straight to my face “taste testing” this meat sauce, it was just THAT good and when layered with spaghetti squash, cheese and topped with fresh basil this lightened-up dish makes the perfect dinner for all those hungry men, or kiddos, in your life!
OH and it’s a great way to sneak in those veggies!
This was a huge hit in our house and made a ton of great leftovers for lunches the next day. It was also super easy to throw together too! You just need to give yourself enough time to bake the spaghetti squash before shredding which takes about 45 minutes. What I like to do is prep this a day or two before (I usually do this on Sundays – you know I love my meal prep!) and do all the steps up until topping with cheese. Then just cover, throw the casserole in your fridge and when you’re ready to bake it, top the whole thing with cheese, cover and bake for 30 minutes.
BOOM dinner done in no time!
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I’m loving that Fall weather has officially decided to make an appearance as opposed to being 85 degrees in October so I’m looking forward to making the most of this weekend, especially since last week I was sick with the flu. Let me know if there are any dishes you’d like to see lightened-up or any other recipes ideas you might have – just comment below! I love getting inspiration from you all and I, of course, loving hearing from you!
- 2 ripe spaghetti squash
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 packet Stevia
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 3 Tbsp basil, chopped (divided)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- To make the spaghetti squash, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cut squash right down the middle. Scoop out all the seeds and place cut side down on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with oil so they don't stick.
- Bake squash in the oven for 45 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, drizzle oil into a large pan over medium heat and saute onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, Stevia, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow sauce to simmer until the spaghetti squash has finished baking.
- When your squash is about ready, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons fresh basil in with the sauce; continue to simmer.
- Remove squash from the oven and scrape out all the strands of spaghetti using a fork, placing into a large bowl for convenience.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spoon 1½ cups of meat sauce into bottom and spread out evenly. Layer with ½ of the spaghetti squash then 1½ cups more of meat sauce, then the rest of the spaghetti squash, the rest of the meat sauce (1½ cups) and top with mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake spaghetti squash casserole in the oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake and additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Top with remaining tablespoon of basil, serve and enjoy!

This looks wonderful. I can hardly wait to try it!
Oohh I love that it’s spaghetti squash casserole with beef! Sounds like my kind of meal, it looks fantastic!
It is good with Italian turkey sausage also
Can you believe there’s no such thing as a spaghetti squash here in Australia?! Can’t wait to be in Canada to give this recipe a go. It looks delicious! xx
I have become such a fan of spaghetti squash as well! Also this recipes looks absolutely delicious, I cannot wait to try it!
YUM. totally going to have to try this!
love the blog too girl! please feel free to check mine out and let me know what you think. 🙂
<a href=www.so–hi.blogspot.comSo, hi.
Thanks for the great recipe! I love spaghetti squash. I’m prepping this today to have this week. Awesome.
I made this a couple nights ago and it was SO good. Even my husband loved it, and he was pretty skeptical. I halved the recipe because it was just the two of us, and I wish I had made it as it is written so I could have had leftovers (my husband finished it off). I will definitely be making this again!
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow night!! Seems like the perfect recipe to pre-make for if my hubby gets outta work before me too! He can pop it in the oven!
turkey ground beef was on sale (2.88!) so I’m trying the recipe with that instead…do u think it’ll make much difference?
No that should taste great!! 🙂
My husband likened this to a lasagna without noodles, and he went back for seconds! The darn grocery store was out of fresh basil though, and I really missed that flavour profile in the dish…oh well, next time. I turned the broiler on low for a minute right at the very end to get the cheese all golden and bubbly, too.
This was such a great dinner idea! Thank you for sharing!
This has been on my menu for several weeks and we finally got around to making it last night and WOW! It was so good! One of my daughters has requested spaghetti for dinner and so we cooked this up. When we asked her what she thought she motioned to her half empty plate and said,” What does it look like?” LOL! It was a hit and we still have a ton of leftovers. Great recipe!!
Trying this tonight–on the new Smart Points this recipe registers at 4 points for a SIXTH of the pan! (Instead of a tenth.) I can’t wait!
Can you microwave the spaghetti squash instead of baking for the first half of the recipe?C
Yes you can! Just put the squash cut sides down in a microwave-safe dish and fill the dish with a little water, about an inch. Microwave on high for about 12 minutes until tender and can be pierced with a fork – then just shred! 🙂
You have get ideas, I’m looking for Ketogenic recipes, your spinach and quinoa and as well as your spag. squash are great! do you have more like those?
So is it One whole spaghetti squash total?
Two small ones or one large one! 🙂
Looks good, I am going to try this recipe. I have to point out though, that I do not think the serving size should be listed as a 1/2 cup. That would maybe be a serving size for a preschooler! Not a typical adult.
What an amazing meal! Thank you for this recipe! My family loved it.
I found this tasty but too watery. Next time I will leave out chicken broth and drain the spaghetti squash. But the taste is wonderful.
Hi! I’ve never used spaghetti squash for anything before, I’m wondering if this is a recipe that would work well if I made it ahead of time and baked later
Yes you could certainly do this, although spaghetti squash tends to get watery after the strands have been pulled. I would suggest baking the squash ahead of time, scrape out the strands and tightly wrap everything with plastic wrap to avoid them from getting watery. Then you can also make your sauce ahead of time (while the squash is baking) so when you’re ready you can throw the casserole together 🙂 Just an idea so you can avoid a watery casserole!
I added some balsamic vinegar to the sauce near the end of its cooking time, and it took it to a 10 for me! So good! I also used my Instant Pot to cook the spaghetti squash, and that was a huge time saver. I sliced it into rings, and I think it only took about 4 min on manual. I’ve also made the meat and sauce in the IP, and that sped up the process tremendously without sacrificing any depth of flavor.Thanks for one of our favorite recipes.
Soo soo good. Ate it last night for dinner and again today for lunch. It might even be better the next day. I think the fresh basil makes the sauce. Tastes amazing! I also threw some fresh spinach into the sauce just to add a bit more veggies. So good! Will for sure be making this one again. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed this Melody! I agree, the fresh basil really makes this dish! 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight, and it was a hit for all of us: me, hubby, our 4 year old, and our 2 year old!! You have some amazing recipes; we have loved every recipe that we’ve tried on your blog! Thank you for helping us eat healthy!!
Aww I’m so glad Nicole! Thank you so much 🙂
Just made this last night and am obsessed! I am not a fan of spaghetti squash (texture and taste weird me out) but this recipe is to die for! The sauce is amazing and the texture of the squash is a little crunchy (not as mushy as typical squash can get). Second recipe I have tried of yours and LOVE them both! Thank you and can’t wait to try some more!
Hi Kelly, I ran across this recipe and just had to share it with my readers. I linked it back to here for them to get the recipe. Thanks do much! Here is the link to the blog post with your Spaghetti Squash Casserole. http://thehappypreneur.com/low-carb-recipe-baked-spaghetti-squash-casserole/
I do not like spaghetti squash, but I do enjoy substituting sautéed green cabbage for pasta. I can’t wait to try this recipe with sautéed cabbage. Thank you for the recipe.
Is there a trick to preparing this ahead and avoiding watery a watery dish?
Made this last night and oh my. I can’t get enough of it! I immediately shared this recipe with family and friends. This has been added to the “cook at least monthly if not more” categories! Absolutely delicious!
Thanks Shannon!! So glad you all enjoyed this! 🙂
Hi! Read your receipt for spaghetti squash casserole & can’t wait to make it. But what do I add for sides Tomsk a complete dinner? Thx!
I think a big salad would make a great side to this casserole! 🙂
Do you think his would turn out good with chicken meat instead of beef or turkey?
Can I freeze leftovers?
Delicious. Will make again. ’n
This is one of the BEST recipes I have ever tried! It is so good!! It was great the first night but gets even better the next day!
What 5 Models Really Think About France Banning Extremely Skinny Models
"The girls who wanted it really badly just didn't eat."
The French government is close to passing a bill that would ban models with a BMI of less than 18 from getting hired. That means a model who is 5-foot-10 would need to weigh at least 125.5 pounds in order to be eligible to work in France.
How do models feel about the potential ban of extreme thinness in the fashion capital of the world? We asked and got responses ranging from enthusiastic to ambivalent. Read on to hear these real models' tales.
Lyndsey Scott
"I was an All-American 400m runner at 5-foot-9 and 108 pounds during college. Perfectly healthy but still way under an 18 BMI. Bodies naturally come in all shapes and sizes, thin and otherwise. Even people with eating disorders can have a so-called healthy BMI. Perhaps they should have doctors check for signs of anorexia and bulimia instead of making assumptions based on weight. Having a bunch of tall, thin, pretty, potentially healthy teenagers cram cupcakes for two weeks and fill themselves with fat injections until they're runway-ready might sound like a great idea for a reality show, but really, is forcing some models into a thicker body type that may not be natural for them the best way to solve a health problem? There has to be a better solution. It would be great if the industry would be more representative of different ethnicities and body types in general."
Aline Fernandes
"I left Brazil when I was 16 and was doing fashion modeling in Milan, Paris, and Germany before moving to New York when I was 20. We slept 11 models in one apartment. You see who's eating, who's not eating, what they're eating. The girls who wanted it really badly just didn't eat. They needed to look a certain way for a particular client and that's what they're about. You're 15, 16, and you just want to be cool and fit in.
"For me, I got into yoga pretty seriously when I moved to the U.S. My body started changing, not just because of the yoga but because I was becoming a woman. But at that point, it wasn't cool to be fit or athletic if you were in fashion. I would go to some jobs and they'd tell me to move the way I was holding my arm because it looked too fit and muscular. There was a lot of pressure on me to be thin when I was doing fashion. I transitioned into doing more lifestyle modeling because I wanted to be healthy and I was strong enough to not get affected by the pressure. Things are getting better for the industry though. Having the law in France would be wonderful. The whole world is going in that direction. It's beautiful to see that the new standard of beauty is one of health. We're all human. We're not hangers."
Sierra Anderson
"I understand that this industry is very hard on girls. Some agencies say that you have to be a certain weight and height. I've never felt threatened in the industry, but I have felt out of place when I've been on certain runway castings. That's where you see more underweight models. It's out there. There are people who are extremely hard on themselves and who've gone through weight issues. Their confidence isn't where it should be. I feel like it's good to let people know that [extreme thinness] is not healthy and it's not a look people want to see. People want to see natural women who work out and eat healthy and are not frail."
"I was initially signed to my modeling agency to be in the fashion department. Honestly, I didn't like going to those castings. They're based on measurements and numbers. I couldn't put aside that this industry is perpetuating really damaging standards for girls. It's not necessary for people to be skin and bones.
"One time, during Fashion Week in New York, I went to a casting. They were like, 'Oh, great, you're a size 4, can you come in? We're looking on the larger end of things.' The other girls were at their skinniest because it was Fashion Week. It's really unnecessary torture. I was at another casting for a designer's private showroom for a designer. Her sample sizes were 0 to 2. She was just looking at our bodies. She looked at me and said, 'Thank you, you're so beautiful, but I'm looking for girls with really small heinies.'"
It's not necessary for people to be skin and bones.
"The motivation behind the legislation makes sense. We do want to promote positive body image with our girls. But it penalizes those who are smaller naturally. The only solution is to accept women as they are. Have more size opening in general. Instead, the samples are getting smaller every year and you have to fit the samples.
"I'm a size 4 and when I started out, agencies would find interesting ways of telling me I wasn't small enough. 'You're more girl-next-door, but if you slim down, we can see your features better.' 'We can see your cheekbones if you lose weight.' 'It's just your baby fat. Maybe when you're more of a woman and your face slims out. ' I've been told that my butt's too big, but I'm a black girl. If I lose weight, my butt's still there. It's about proportions.
"I'm 28 and I have model friends my age who are trying to stay the size they were at 17. Not only does it completely kill your self-esteem because you're punishing yourself for becoming a woman, it creates a deeper cycle of self-loathing. You're watching your calories every day. You're thinking, I better walk to this casting instead of taking the subway because I had fries. That burger is not going to make you five pounds heavier and keep you from working tomorrow. But we have a sense of urgency because of the career path we've chosen. The problem is not going to be solved by legislation. We have to have a complete reformation of what we believe beauty is."
Spinach Feta Pinwheels #SundaySupper
Flaky, buttery puff pastry is rolled around spinach, feta, mozzarella and green onions to create these outrageously delicious Spinach Feta Pinwheels!
Spinach Feta Pinwheels
I hosted my book club earlier this month. Our book selection was Exit West, a fictional account of a couple escaping the war torn Middle East though magical doors. Through these “doors” they were transported to three different countries to the west, one being Greece.
Instead of making a traditional spanakopita, I incorporated some of the Greek spinach pie ingredients into spiraled nibbles. No fussy phyllo dough to fiddle with! Brushing the puff pastry with an egg wash before rolling helped keep the spirals from unfurling, though a little reshaping was necessary before and immediately after their time in the oven.
Tips for Working with Puff Pastry:
Even though the traditional phyllo dough, which is used for spanakopita, is more finicky, you still need to understand how to work with puff pastry to get the best results.
- For the best tasting spinach feta pinwheels, look for an all butter puff pastry brand. I use Dufour, but note that it will be much more expensive.
- To prevent your pinwheels from unraveling while baking, make sure about 1/2-inch of one short end of your puff pastry is free of filling. Double check that it’s brushed with egg wash, then roll up from the opposite end, so that filling free edge adheres to the rolled cylinder.
- The pastry can warm up while you’re working with it. It bakes up best when chilled so I always pop it in the freezer while the oven heats up. If you have the time, you can cover the sheet pan with the pinwheels with plastic wrap and park them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.
- Puff pastry puffs up best when baked cold, but it also needs to be baked at a high temperature. This recipe calls for the oven to be set at 400°.

- Starting on the short side that's covered with filling, roll up the pastry like a jellyroll.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice the roll into ½-3/4 inch slices and place them on the prepared sheets. Pop into the refrigerator or freezer to let them cool as the oven preheats to 400 degrees.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until they're golden.

Is it a sin to want those puffy treats for the breakfast? Gosh..they look so good with feta and spinach filling.
You truly are the queen of the gourmet and gorgeous Liz <3 Appreciate, as always, your great tips…And tasty recipe! Love the combo of spinach and feta encircled by puff pastry. P.s. Your bookclub is very lucky.
Yep, I’d even eat them for breakfast! They sound amazing:@)
Liz these little spinach and feta treats are gorgeous. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between are the perfect time for this little treat. If we can get ours to look as perfect as yours these would be a great dish to pass at all of these events coming up. Just pinned!
Spinach and Feta are a match made in foodie heaven, don’t you think? I love these pinwheels they just look so pretty!
Hi Liz, these beauties are definnitely speaking to me this morning. Love everything about them, great tips too, Happy Sunday!
Thanks for the tips about preventing them from unfurling. Could you bake them in a muffin tin, tucking them tightly into the tin might also prevent unfurling. As luck would have it, I have some spanakopita mixture in the refrigerator from a stuffed french stick I made last weekend, this will make a very tasty hors d’œuvres for cocktails this evening.
I like that idea, Eva! It’s worth a try!!
These are super pretty and they sound truly delicious, Liz!!
Hi Liz – I’m as interested in these delicious pinwheels as I am the book Exit West. I love to read. I just finished All the Light We Cannot See – a novel from the WW II era, and now I’m starting The Nightingale. Your yummy Spinach Feta Pinwheel are big treat and so pretty!
A classic that I love!
Pinwheels are always a “go to” appetizer for me and yours look delicious!
This is so tempting. I’m a sucker for anything with spinach and of course add cheese and puff pastry and it would be challenging to stop me.
As soon as I saw the picture, I thought, “Those would be perfect for book club!”
I love the way you tied the food in with the location of the book.
Spinach and feta in a pinwheel, how creative and tasty. I wouldn’t mind having one of your rolls right now, yummy!
These flavors are my favorite- something about spinach and feta and puff pastry is such a treat- great finger-food appetizer!
What a classic combination – they look tasty!
These look perfect, Liz! Love that you used puff pastry. Spinach and feta are one of my favorites!
Dear Lizzy, These look so very delicious!! I know these were a hit! xoxo Catherine
I bet these would be the first thing gone at a party. They look incredible and aren’t too hard to make.
These look absolutely delicious. I am sure they were a hit!
I was pretty excited when I saw these on Insta because I LOVE spanakopita and so the idea of an easier way to get those flavors is just fantastic! These look so great Liz! Thank you for introducing them to the world!!
What a gorgeous pinwheels! You have a good idea put in the greek feta. I think I could eat one of this even in breakfast time.
Picture perfect and delicious! I’m adding this to the collection of contenders for our anniversary celebration. I hope the Mr wants this one as much as I do!
Wow, these look fantastic, and I’ll bet they’re as delicious as they look. Thanks for all the tips.
Our book club choice for this month (meeting Wednesday) is the excellent and well-written “The Lightless Sky: An Afghan Refugee Boy’s Journey of Escape to a New Life in Britain.” The Afghan Boy is 12 years old and the book, likes yours, probably, was unbelievable. We really have no idea. This kid spent a few months in Greece also . So, since I am scheduled to bring a nibble, I am going to make these Pinwheels which I think are jazzy as well as delicious. I plan to share your story and recommend your book also. Thanks for your tips. I always like them.
I fail immensely when working with puff pastry. Thanks for your tips – I guess I always do it wrong. I figured it’s always still raw because I’m putting it in the oven while it’s still cold. Maybe it’s just not cold enough?
I’ll definitely try again with this recipe – YUM! Probably on my Christmas Eve party menu
We can totally tell you made your own spanakopita properly lots of time from this line alone – for the feta: “buy a block and crumble it yourself”!:)
LOVED your yummy pinwheels dear Liz, the only thing we’d add, would be a little very finely chopped fresh dill, to give this a more spanakopita flavor:):) Can’t help it, we are from natives ourselves lol :):):)
Thank you for the delicious recipe!
Mirella and Panos
Love!! Pinterest win! I added damoked salmon, and it was the cherry on top!
I want to make these for a brunch housewarming party I’m giving for a friend. I will never use the rest of the fresh nutmeg, but I can only imagine the tastiness it will add. Would it be possible to use the ground nutmeg I already have in my spice cabinet, and if so, how much would you suggest? I can’t wait to try these!
Hi, Hillary! I know what you mean as I have a very old jar of whole nutmeg that I don’t think I’ll use up in my lifetime. I think just a pinch or two will be fine–I bet if I measured it would be 1/16th tablespoon or less. Hope you enjoy!
Can these be frozen?
I have no experience freezing these, but I think it might work. If you try it, I’d bake them directly from the freezer and add about 15-20 minutes to your baking time.

Blood Orange Old Fashioned for #CocktailDay
If you read my last post, I know what you're thinking: Blood Orange. again?! Well, admittedly, I look forward to January mainly for those beautiful little crimson jewels of citrus. Naturally, I've been on a bit of a blood orange kick lately. And, if we're being honest, I've been on a whiskey kick too. I've been a bourbon fan for a while now, but ever since trying an Old Fashioned at Krust (the bourbon & pizza bar next to the amazing cupcake company where I work), I've sort of been obsessed. They use these fancypants cherries that I'm absolutely gaga for and since I had my first one a few weeks ago, I can't seem to order anything else when I go!
The drink that started it all!
When I decided to participate in #CocktailDay with some of my favorite bloggers, the old fashioned was the first cocktail to come to mind. It also happened that I was in the middle of making Blood Orange Egg Tarts, so I was staring at deep red citrus segments as I dreamed up a way to customize the cocktail.
Sadly for me, I didn't have any schmancy-pants cherries lying around, and cherries are out of season [womp womp], so I had to settle for glaringly-red generic maraschinos from the jar. If you're so inclined, you can definitely make your own (which I plan to do this spring!).
The recipe is relatively easy, as there are only a few ingredients, which means you'll be making this all the time. Not that I'm complaining, especially if you're sharing one with me ;)
Blood Orange Old Fashioned
Blood Orange Old Fashioned
2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon sugar
few dashes bitters
1 blood orange, half for the juice and the other half cut into wedges for serving
2-3 good maraschino cherries
In a whiskey glass, muddle together a few drops of bitters with the teaspoon of sugar. Add a splash of blood orange juice and muddle to combine. Top with bourbon and ice. Add cherries and stir to combine. Allow to sit a few minutes to allow the flavors mellow before drinking. Enjoy!

Pink Lady Skinny Detox Power Juice
The Ultimate Detox Juice:
Pink Lady Skinny Detox Power Juice
Simple. Healthy. Refreshing. Three (3) ingredients. Exquisite taste. The “cream of the crop” in nutrient-rich, detoxifying fruits and berries. And, it’s pink.
I know, I know. This is the season of “green juicing” and “green smoothies” and all. Everywhere you look, there they are! While the recipes are incredible ones, and the health benefits cannot be disputed, I am here to be different. So, pink it is!
Honest, I didn’t enhance these photos by punching up the color in editing. It’s just pure Mother Nature shining through in a brilliant, absolutely radiant hue of hot pink. Due to its color and beyond satisfying taste, this juice just brings a smile to my face each time I make it and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
So, today I present to you the Pink Lady Skinny Detox Power Juice. Wait. Why such a long title for a simple 3-ingredient juice recipe, you ask? Well… Pink Lady is obviously due to its color as well as if you go with Pink Lady apples to make this recipe. No brainer there. But, it is also the regal name this juice deserves, in my humble opinion. Skinny is because this juice will rev up your metabolism like nobody’s business to burn unwanted body fat. Detox because this particular combination of fruits and berries has known detoxification properties. And… Power due to the sheer amount of energy this juice provides in addition to essential nutrients that will feed your body’s cells for overall health and vitality—not to mention the cancer-fighting properties. It’s a powerhouse. Pink. Power. People!
When I developed this recipe for freshly squeezed juice, it was purely on the fly with my all-time favorite fruits and berry—ruby red grapefruit, Honeycrisp apples and the red raspberry. In fact, this beautiful fruit juice, Pink Lady Skinny Detox Power Juice, was the very first juice I made in my new juicer (a crushing or masticating juicer, the Breville Fountain Crush Juicer) that The Big Lug gave me as a gift when I was incredibly ill. He gave it to me at the end of September, and I took to it like a duck to water. Immediately, I started juicing as part of my 3-week all-fruit detox, which was amazing. I will definitely share this information and my results (even urine test strip photos, ha!) in another post. Your mind will be blown. Blown. Mine was.
Anyway, one morning in early October, I sliced a ruby red grapefruit to eat. Ruby red is my favorite! Instead of eating it as per usual, I decided to set up my new juicer and jump in with juicing my breakfast. So, in went the ruby red grapefruit. Next, I spotted the bowl of big Honeycrisp apples sitting on the table. I grabbed two and cored and sliced them to fit through the juicer’s hopper. Next, I went to the fridge and remembered we had extra red raspberries on hand because I love eating a bowl of them for a snack and we had just stocked up. It was kismet. No other fruit juice combination I have made has tasted as good as Pink Lady Skinny Detox Power Juice. Honest and truly, I crave this juice! Soon to be featured on the blog will be my recipe for The Pink Lady Margarita. Oh, yeah.
And, yes… I know alcohol probably shouldn’t be discussed in a blog post about detoxification. But… when you want to indulge, celebrate and live life, you might as well do it right—even if it’s wrong! 😉
“The ancient Greeks, before the time of Lycurgus, ate nothing but
fruit,” (Plutarch) and “each generation reached the age of 200 years.”
—Onomacritus of Athens
Apples and Their Benefits
Apples are the most versatile of fruits for juicing as they blend well with nearly any fruit and vegetable while adding sweetness. Look for organic blemish-free apples with very firm flesh and tight skin.
Apples are a good source of Vitamin A. They also contain Vitamins B and C as well as riboflavin and are high in two important phytochemicals: pectin and boron. Here are some benefits of apples:
- Enzyme-Rich to Aid Digestion
- Great Cleanser (detoxifies by eliminating free radicals and toxins)
- Good source of Vitamin A & Amino Acids
- Strengthens the Body
- Great Energy Source (keeps blood sugar levels up)
- Lowers Blood Cholesterol
- Excellent Diuretic
- Good Antiseptic
- Excellent Laxative
- Liver Support
The French use the peels of apples in preparing therapeutic remedies to treat rheumatism and gout as well as urinary tract conditions.
Grapefruit and Its Benefits
Most people know that grapefruit, and all citrus fruit for that matter, is high in Vitamin C. However, citrus fruits are rich in limonene, which is thought to prevent breast cancer.
Furthermore, Ruby Red Grapefruit is high in cancer-fighting lycopene. The combination of carotenoids, flavonoids, terpenes, limonoids and coumarins makes citrus fruits pack a powerful all-around cancer-fighting punch.
Look for organic, plump, juicy fruits that are heavy for their size. Grapefruit should yield slightly to pressure. Although citrus fruits will keep for at least a couple weeks if kept refrigerated, they are best if used within a week. Here are some benefits of grapefruit:
- Excellent Source of Vitamin C
- Boosts the Metabolism
- Great Immune Booster
- Alkalizes the Body
- Great Antioxidant
- Cancer-Fighting
- Nourishes Skin Cells
- Strengthens Capillaries
- Low Glycemic
- Seeds contain cancer-fighting limonoids, calcium, magnesium and potassium
Red Raspberries and Their Benefits
Scientists now believe that the metabolism in our fat cells can be increased by the phytonutrients found in raspberries—especially rheosmin, also called raspberry ketone. By increasing enzyme activity, oxygen consumption, and heat production in certain types of fat cells, raspberry phytonutrients like rheosmin may be able to decrease the risk of obesity as well as fatty liver disease.
When shopping for raspberries, select organic, whole, plump, brightly colored berries. Sort and discard soft or broken berries. Store in crisper drawer of refrigerator. Rinse and dry before using. Here are some benefits of raspberries:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Great Antioxidant
- Great Immune Booster
- Boosts Metabolism
- Cancer-Fighting
- Rich in Potassium
- Rich in Niacin
- Iron Source
- Some Vitamin C
- Low Glycemic
The Benefits of Juicing
There is no escaping it. Juicing has caught on like wildfire and is taking the world by storm. Still. The movement is far from over. In fact, it has now become a lifestyle for many. More and more, people are jumping on the bandwagon and for good reason.
Of course, everyone’s personal journey will be different. However, the benefits of juicing are numerous and quite universal. Whether you wish to enhance your already raw diet, or if you simply wish to take on a round of detoxification to better your health, you will enjoy bringing juicing into your life. I never knew how much I would enjoy juicing as being a part of my daily routine.
As a general rule, and being a recent convert to juicing and adopting a more raw diet lifestyle, I prefer to juice my vegetables for easy digestion but eat my fruit so that my body gets the healthful benefits of consuming fiber to help metabolize the sugars (fructose and glucose) in fruit. However, sometimes my mind and body craves freshly squeezed fruit juice. I am telling you, there’s nothing like fresh fruit juice to start your day!
From time to time, as I mentioned above, I enjoy fresh fruit juice as a part of my diet. When I do juice my fruit, I do not include any vegetables. I do not wish to debate my choice in food combining as it is purely a matter of personal preference and dietary needs. (I am trying to heal my gut after taking a super-strong antibiotic that messed me up.) In fact, as part of my food-combining regimen, I eat melons separate from other fruits as well. I won’t go into proper and improper food combining now, but will leave it for a future post when I share the 3-week all-fruit detox program I was on and the results.
Here are some of the benefits of juicing:
- Increased Energy
- Cellular Regeneration (healthy heart and anti-aging for healthy skin, hair and nails)
- Mental Clarity
- Better Sleep
- Reduced Cravings
- Improved Digestion
- Less Bloating
- Weight Loss
- Improves Heart Health
- Cleanses Toxins to Heal the Causes of Disease (detoxifies)
It is suggested that at least two to four 10-ounce glasses of vegetable or fruit juice a day, along with a raw diet, is the healthful way to go when detoxing.
Here’s to a fit, happy and healthy New Year, my friends!
Below is a Pinterest-friendly sized image to pin at Pinterest!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Makes 24 ounces; two large 12-ounce servings or three 8-ounce servings.
There is nothing quite like fresh squeezed juice to get your motor running in an alkalizing and detoxifying way. Our Pink Lady juice comprises the very best of the crop in fruit for detoxing and an energy boost—Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples, ruby red grapefruit and red raspberries. So refreshing and the apple, citrus and berry flavor profile simply cannot be beat!
- 1 large ruby red grapefruit, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium to large Honeycrisp or Pink Lady (red) apples, cored and sliced
- 1 6-ounce (170 grams) package red raspberries, rinsed and dried
Using a juicer, process grapefruit first. Then follow with the apples and raspberries.
Skim any unwanted foam from the top and discard.
Whisk and pour into chilled glasses, over ice if desired.
Garnish as desired with fresh berries and fruit as well as a fresh sprig of mint or basil. Insert straw and serve immediately.
Select the freshest organic fruits and berries for the ultimate in health benefits.
When preparing grapefruit, leave most of the white fiber surrounding the sections (not the bitter white outer pith) intact as it contains pectin and bioflavonoids which help the body to absorb Vitamin C. These phytonutrients also strengthen the body’s capillaries supporting overall circulation and thus enhancing the skin and facial complexion.
Leftover juice? Freeze into ice cubes for cocktails or popsicles for a refreshing treat!
The cook time above indicates juicing time.

Wow! Oh my goodness that is just the prettiest juice drink I’ve seen! That color is simply over the top gorgeous! I cannot wait for your Pink Lady Margarita! I love your suggestion for a good juicer too. I need to get my hands on one..
Thank you, Maria!
This power juice is gorgeous, Stacy! I’m so glad you shared a pink juice because the color totally reminds me of you 🙂 So bright and beautiful and the combination of grapefruit, apple and raspberries sound so refreshing! Love all their detox benefits too! I could always use a boost of energy and wish I had a big tall glass of this right now! Thanks so much for sharing and hope you have a great rest of the week! xo
Thank you, Kelly! Happy weekend, my friend!
This looks incredible! We actually enjoy at least two of these fruits everyday. I need to turn them all into this gorgeous juice!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet recently posted…15 Best Game Day Recipes
Thank you, Anna! Enjoy!
I love how informative this post, is Stacy, but most of all, I love the looks of this juice! That color is intoxicating, and it sounds so refreshing! Pink lady apples are so sweet, they’re like nature’s candy, and I’ve been buying up ruby red’s a lot lately. I love to just eat them plain…no sugar…because I don’t think they need a thing. They sound lovely in this juice, and I’d love a glass! Pinned. 🙂
marcie recently posted…Spicy Shrimp Linguine with Kale Pesto
Thank you, Marcie! You will love this juice, girl. Thanks so much for the pin and have a great weekend! 🙂
I so understand what you mean about not doctoring the color – I didn’t do any on my beet crepes – mother nature is a beautiful thing right? 😉
Stacy this juice is WICKEDLY GORGEOUS. I am looking forward to that post on how juicing helped you!
Thank you, Shashi! xo
Wow, you weren’t kidding about the delicious, beautiful juice you made! As though the color isn’t enough for me to want to drink this every day, I love anything involving grapefruit! Yum!!
Nora (A Clean Bake) recently posted…Pineapple Nutmeg Detox Smoothie
Stacy, you are so good with your posts. It’s very informative. I love grapefruits and you just reminded me to incorporate it more. You know, honey crisps are one of our favourites at home. This is a power house drink, I’m going to make them. Hugs girl. Have a fabulous weekend.
Thank you, Ash! Enjoy your weekend, my friend!
This ‘pink power’ looks amazing, Stacy! Raspberries are by far my favorite berry and we have two pink grapefruit trees, which we share with many of our friends, and so no excuse not to try this combo. Again, so happy to have you back!
Thank you for the warm welcome back, sweet Dina! You will love this juice recipe. I made some again this morning for me and my husband. We just love it. Of course, if we eat protein for breakfast or brunch in addition to fruit and fruit juice we just wait an hour between the juice and protein. It’s better for digestion. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy!
I love how this looks but I can’t eat grapefruit due to an interaction with a medicine I take. Is there something you can substitute?
Hi there, Kristi! Thank you for writing. To answer your question, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist first if it is okay to substitute any other citrus juice for grapefruit juice. For instance, ask if it is okay to drink orange or tangerine juice in its place. Another good suggestion is pineapple juice. I understand that grapefruit juice can interact with certain medications (like statin drugs). As always, safety first. Be careful and ask questions to avoid any serious health issues with a drug interaction. Good luck and happy juicing, my friend!
I can’t wait to try this….One challenge is that I don’t have a juicer. Has anyone tried this recipe with the NutriBullet?
Hi there, Susan! Thank you for writing. To answer your question…I have not tried this juice recipe in my new Nutri Ninja yet. As soon as I do, I will let you know my results. I’ll give it a whirl this weekend. 🙂 Thanks again for stopping by and happy juicing!
Interesting post. Gosh I love Pink Lady apples. It’s a lovely color to be sure. Reving up the metabolism is VERY appealing. And no I did not know about the apple peels.

Thank you for writing, Lucy! You and me both, girl. 🙂 I love this juice and made it for breakfast today to sip while eating my apple. It’s good to add a little fiber when you sip fresh squeezed juice. Thanks again for writing and happy juicing!
Hello, just a quick question could you blend this into a smoothie. Looks yummy but I don’t have a juicer. Thanks Tab
Hi there, Tabatha! Thank you for writing. I don’t see why you couldn’t blend this in a smoothie. If you enjoy tart citrus smoothies with grapefruit, apples and berries, you will love it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
I am in love with detox juices! Currently, I’m into green blends and carrot cleansers, but I think my husband would love this Pink Lady power juice because he loves apples and berries. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for writing, Jenny! Well, this particular detox juice is fab and I hope your husband enjoys it. However, you can make it along with the fiber of the fruit (sans raspberry seeds), too, so your husband gets his fiber along with the fantastic flavor blend of the fruit juices. I really enjoy it that way, too. Thanks again for writing and have a great day!
That’s a great idea, thanks! He’ll like it for sure. Thanks for the reply, Stacy. Have a good one!
