red-pepper-smoothieA reader, Elle, sent in this recipe for us to try. I have never used bell peppers in a smoothie before and I was curious to try this one. I gathered my ingredients and was pleasantly surprised at this brilliantly colored, orange-red smoothie! It was delicious and sweet.

Sunrise Surprise – The Recipe

– 2 handfulls of red grapes
– 1 red pepper
– 1 apple

I added 4 ounces of water to my Blendtec blender which was enough to mix the ingredients with minimal water separation in the pitcher. I could probably have used a little less than 4 ounces. These are water-rich fruits so you will not need as much water as you usually would use for a green smoothie.

Variations

This smoothie is quick and easy to make because it is so simple. After I drank a glass as is, I added a large bunch of raw baby spinach and made it a green smoothie, which tasted just fine.
