This Limey Orange Smoothie is one that Bugs Bunny would go crazy for; it blends a winning combo of sweet veggies and fruit, creamy cashew butter, tangy yogurt, and lime zest into a nutrient-packed smoothie that doesn’t hold back on flavor. Bonus: Both orange bell pepper and carrot contain a boatload of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A in the body and supports bone, eye, and immune health.
Put down that peeler
