"Compost Smoothie"

While this is not for you but your soil. I would recommend the use of a seperate container due to pesticides and filth that maybe on the rinds of the fruits and vegetables.

Save the rinds and peels of the fruits and vegetables from smoothies and soups

Place them in container and fill with water

Blend on high for 1 minute and pour mixture in garden or on compost pile

This will help replenish your soil with valuable nutrients and cut back on the waste going to the landfill. Thus, making you a much "Greener" person.
