John likes to experiment with our Vitamix. It reminds him of chemistry class. Here is his latest green smoothie creation. We call it Afternoon Boost smoothie. Wow!

Sweet carrots, an apple, some kale, and half of an avocado. Then he added celery, garlic and some watermelon. Yum. I love watermelon in smoothies.

Finally, add a dash of cayenne pepper for extra zing.

This is so good, I just have to share it with you.

Instructions

Just place all ingredients into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. 

Then set the Vitamix to the pre-programmed Smoothie setting and start the machine. It will automatically shut off once the cycle is complete.
 
And that’s it. Easy peasy.
 
I hope you enjoy your afternoon boost. I’d love to hear from you. Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe?
