Citrus Smoothie with Hummus

Tossing things in the vitamix to make this smoothie.  It was pretty good! 

However... I have been reading Fat Chance by Dr. Robert Lustig. Finally, a book about how bad added sugar really is!  He is offering evidence for why we have an obesity pandemic.  I highly recommend the book.

He also talks about other facets of food, including the role of fiber and how soluble fiber can’t do its job without insoluble fiber being present (which gets completely destroyed in all processed or blended food, yes blended, as in a blender, as in a vitamix).  So I won't be going full blended meals; and I'll probably still have smoothies, cause it's just so easy.

Blend

1 orange
1+ cup of Kale
3/4 cup raw pineapple
2 Tbsp hummus
5 grape tomatoes
1/2 yellow pepper

Rated a 4.51 on the Kale Scale.
