Savory Fiesta Mole Smoothie

Do you like V8?  Or another version thereof?  I think I've got something you'll really like.  I've created this savory smoothie that uses our yummy Fiesta Mole raw superfood mix and it's super-delicious.

Here's the recipe:

In a Vitamix or other high-powered blender add these ingredients:

2 Tomatoes (about 2 cups)
2 Celery Stalks
1 Granny Smith Apple (or other tart apple) quartered
2 Tbsp Fiesta Mole Mix
2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Cucumber (optional)
Ice as desired for a chilly drink (optional)

Blend on high until smooth. Just like the Boutenko-Style Green Smoothies, this smoothie can last for about 3 days in the fridge or otherwise kept cold.  You can also play with the ingredients ... we're experimenting with adding cucumbers in since we have so gosh darn many of them from our garden right now.

We just tried the cucumber in the smoothie at our raw food dinner tonight and it was scrumptious!  Made for a delightfully refreshing smoothie!

If you don't have a high-powered blender I suggest you cut the ingredients into smaller bits (and core the apple). You might have to blend it longer than you would in a vitamix, but it should still work out great.

Enjoy!
