Studies have proven that a beta-carotene rich diet can make your complexion glow, and that particular skin tone is usually considered healthier than a regular skin tan. This smoothie can help you get that healthy glow without risking your skin lying under the sun.
1/2 cup of cantaloupe cubes
1/2 cup of papaya
Juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup of carrot juice (or water)
1 small knob of fresh ginger

Key Lime Smoothie
Contributed by Teddy Cunningham
1 can coconut milk (NO SUGAR)
OR 8oz. coconut water
*on second thought, the coconut MILK has a lot of fat in it, so to make it more game friendly, you could substitute the coconut milk for coconut WATER
Slice of Avocado
1/2 Cucumber
Lime (peeled and seeded)
Stevia to sweeten if desired (could also use honey or xylitol)
Blend until smooth and add ice to consistency you like.
Fun add in's would be a drop or two of peppermint, raw cacao, vanilla . . .
You can even pour this shake into popsicle molds for a cold treat and I would use the coconut milk if you want it to taste like a creamie.

Green Shake (for the blender)
Contributed by Teddy Cunningham
1 scoop wheat grass powder (optional)
2-4 cups spinach (I buy bulk spinach in the tubs and throw the whole tub in the freezer and use the loose frozen spinach leaves)
sliver of avocado (I take my avocados and cut them in fourths and bag them up and freeze them and throw them in that way.)
1-3 limes juiced (I like A LOT of lime)
1/2 English cucumber (these are the ones on the top section of the produce wrapped in plastic. If they are not organic and certified non-pesticide I peel them)
Water to cover the ingredients
Ice to the consistency you like
optional sweetener (I use xylitol or stevia and a tiny bit goes a long way)
Blend until completely smooth.
Helpful hints. If your blender is not very powerful (I use a vita-mix and it's the bomb!) put in a couple cups of water and add your veggies one by one and blend
that way. You can even alternate liquid and veg and then do ice at the end. The key to this tasting like a key lime pie is to get the coldness and consistency
right.

Teddy's Greens
I juice a huge batch and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days in glass quart jars.
Celery (up to 7 bundles)
Spinach (about 5 bags or 3 of the bigger plastic containers)
Cucumber (I use english cucumbers, usually at least 3)
Kale (one stalk, it's powerful stuff!)
You can throw in anything really. I don't like bell peppers though, too sweet. I do love a little thumb sized
chunk of ginger. Lemon and lime will give it a kick but will turn bitter if kept more than a day.
I use a champion juicer to do all this. DON'T TRY IT WITH A BLENDER. It's totally sick. The point of this
is to give your body very concentrated liquid nutrition. It really is so healing.

I feel like I cheated!!! I made a yummy smoothie out of frozen raspberries, strawberries, skim milk, raspberry yogurt, ice, and agave nectar. It was delicious!
