Refreshingly Ugly Blueberry Cucumber Antioxidant Boosting Power Smoothie

Whip up all the colors of the rainbow into a smoothie and what you get looks like a slushy mud puddle. It's an optical reality. But the ugliest, muddiest, smoothies can also be some of the healthiest. Why? Because mixing together colorful fruits and veggies makes for smoothies that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. This sweet minty fresh smoothie tastes better than it looks. And it makes you feel even better than it tastes!
