Spicy Strawberry Smoothie

This smoothie is deliciously sweet and spicy at the same time. It looks a lot like some of the others, but the taste is completely its own. It's time to go grocery shopping, so I was working with what I had on hand. Sometimes I think I have no food in the house, and then I come up with something this good because it's what I had on hand. I call this a happy accident because I might not have thought of it if I wasn't limited in ingredients.

Spicy Strawberry Smoothie:

2 c. strawberries
1 c. orange juice
1 red bell pepper torn into pieces
1/4 c. cashews
2 medjool dates
1 red hot chili pepper
seeds from one vanilla bean

Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender. Serves 2.
