Tropical Bliss Smoothie

The produce stand is really coming through for me the past couple of days. I stocked up on some really flavorful fruit to get me through the next couple of days.

Tropical Bliss Smoothie
2-16 oz glasses 

1 champagne mango, skin on
1 large apricot
1 small carrot
1/2 cup coconut water
1/4 pineapple, cored
2 tbl chia seeds
3 ice cubes

 Blend and enjoy!

Coco Carrot & Peach Juice

A perfect, naturally sweet, creamy orange drink for any time of the day.

Coco Carrot & Peach Juice
2-20 oz glasses
1 peach, skin on
1 large apricot, skin on
1 large carrot, unpeeled
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1/4 cantaloupe
3 ice cubes

Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Just a note- I recently received the greatest gift of any serious cook or juicers dreams...a vitamix! I went big and got the professional series and man this thing does not joke around. Because of the serious horsepower, I don't have to peel any of my fruit (except with the obvious exceptions of bananas, pineapple etc.) thus I retain all of the rich vitamins that are stored in the skins. I also do not have to add very much liquid. You may have to adjust the recipes to fit your blenders power and your preference for thick or thin juices.
