Peppers in the protein shake

So I as I'm watching Dr Oz, I am reminded about how excited he gets about peppers. I like peppers too, but sometimes I forget to look for ways to sneak them into my diet. Today's protein shake includes 6 mini bell peppers--2 yellow, 2 red and 2 orange. And it tastes interesting! Well, it's not awful, especially considering how many I was able to get in there. So in all, the shake has

 

1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder --Target's Market Pantry brand

1/2 cup of reduced fat organic milk (usually I put in some low fat vanilla yogurt, but I'm all out)

2 tablespoons of pb2 (that's low calorie dehydrated peanut butter)

water

ice

6 mini bell peppers

 

Not bad, not bad!

I put a handful of raw spinach or kale in my smoothie every day. I can't really taste it and it turns it a funky color, but the nutritional benefits, like with peppers, are great.

Spinach works great! I agree.
