Red Pepper Peach Protein Smoothie

Another weird one, I know, but trust me, it's delicious.  And of course very healthy.  I really enjoyed this one. 


Ingredients:
1 Cup Frozen strawberries & Blueberries
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
2 medium sized Carrots (Peeled & Chopped)
1/2 Red Pepper (Seeded & Chopped)
1/2 Cucumber (Peeled & Sliced)
1 Green Apple (Cored & Sliced)
2 Peach (Pitted & Sliced)
Juice of 1 Lime
1 Cup Apple Juice (Not From Concentrate)

Directions:
Add the frozen ingredients into the blender first and then add the protein and the remaining ingredients, top with the apple juice (This helps ensure a better overall blend).  Blend on medium/high speed until well blended and serve.  This gives you 2 smoothies to enjoy so that you can take care of 2 days at once, refrigerate the remaining smoothie.  Enjoy!


Add all of the ingredients
Blend
Serve & Enjoy!

Apple-Banana-Tomato Protein Smoothie

I know, I know, it sounds gross.  I was honestly nervous about how this one was going to turn out, but I just kept thinking about V8 and how they can make tomatoes work so I gave it a try anyway.  I must say that I am glad that I did because it turned out delicious.  It smelled like banana and the flavor was mostly banana and apple with an occasional fresh tasting bite of kale thrown in. 
*I apologize for missing my initial pretty pre-mixed photo, I accidentally deleted it on my camera :(

1 Apple (Cored & Sliced)
1 Peach (Pitted & Sliced)
