Since much of the country is dealing with the color white today, I thought I would try and brighten things up with a bright and sunny smoothie. The color of the day today is sunshine. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables are chock full of antioxidants like carotenoids and bioflavonoids. Along with antioxidants, sunny-colored foods also have an abundance of vitamin C. These bountiful nutrients can help your heart, vision, digestion and immune system. Other benefits of naturally yellow and orange foods include maintenance of healthy skin, wound healing, and stronger bones and teeth. And they are delicious!
