Red peppers to the rescue!
When it comes to nutrition, the red bell pepper is the king of bell peppers. This vibrant vegetable is chock full of vitamins A and C, which are excellent for your immune system. The antioxidant responsible for that beautiful red color, beta carotene, is great for your skin and vision. Simply blend up your peppers with cashews and water for a delicious raw red pepper soup.
