Ready to rock … or we mean, rawk? This raw smoothie is powered up with lots of vitamin C and so much fruit and veggie flavor that your immune system should feel stronger just by looking at it. Talk about a fiesta for your mouth!
Just like the Citrus Cold Recovery Smoothie and the Turmeric Smoothie we recently shared from Jen Hansard and Jadah Sellner of Simple Green Smoothies, this smoothie recipe comes straight from their new book: Simple Green Smoothies.
Party on with this delish smoothie recipe!
Vitamin C Fiesta Smoothie
Serves: 2
This smoothie will give your body a rawkin’ immune boost with more than 842 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C (that’s more than 400 percent per serving)! Red bell peppers, oranges, strawberries and kiwifruit all pack a powerful vitamin C punch, which is just what you need when you’re fighting a cold. It’s best to power up on the vitamin as soon as you start feeling cold symptoms to recover the fastest.

- ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
- 2 cups strawberries
