BETA CAROTENE BLAST
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
3 small ice cubes 2 apricots (sliced and pitted) 1/2 papaya (frozen in chunks) 1/2 mango (frozen in chunks) 1/2 cups carrot juice 1 tablespoon honey
Add ingredients (except for honey) to blender in the order listed, then blend on high speed for 30 seconds.
Add honey and blend a few seconds more. Serve in a frosted glass.
Option: add orange juice for a thinner consistency.
Carrots contain carnitine, a compound that increases stamina by transporting fat to the mitochondria and burning it for energy.
Just ont serving of Apricot brings on deeper, more restful sleep, thanks to the fruit's rich stores of tryptophan. Norwegian researchers discovered that the amino acid boosts levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter key to regulating healthy sleep patterns.
