Val’s Moms Fruit and Veggie Smoothie

Val’s Moms Fruit and Veggie Smoothie

So my mom’s been making me this smoothie for years and I love it. I’m not sure where she came up with this combination of fruits and carrots, but it works and now it’s one of my favorites.   Raspberries and blueberries are loaded in anti-aging antioxidants.  Bananas pack an awesome potassium punch and carrots are high in Vitamin A. Add some high quality, muscle-building protein powder and you have a vitamin-rich, fat burning smoothie that tastes amazing!   So I always take my own food photography but this particular picture from istock photos caught my eye and looks exactly like the smoothie I made, so I went for it!  Enjoy the smoothie and let me know if you like it…my mom will want to know!
