Other, Recipe
Apparently there’s a holiday for everything. EVERY-thing. Today it’s National Drink Your Veggies Day. I guess I’m down with that. I love the idea of cramming a bunch of veggies into a single glass. I don’t know that I could ever really get into juicing because the idea of owning another piece of kitchen equipment, needing to clean it, and having to always have juice-able veggies on hand doesn’t completely appeal to me. Neither does the idea of drinking cucumbers and beets. Gross. Why does every juice recipe use those?
Anyways, I digress. Probably because I’m currently sitting on a balcony over looking the ocean. The fabulous life of the self-employed. 
Back to National Drink Your Veggie Day. One way to drink your veggies without all of the above nonsense: buy juice premade. Like the Naked juice I used to make these enchiladas.

Entree
Today I have a fun post sponsored by Naked’s new Power Garden juices.
I’m not particularly a fan of hiding fruits or veggies in other foods, because it’s so often done in a deceitful manner to deceive kids. I don’t like lying about what’s in foods, but I definitely love maximizing the nutrition of my favorite recipes. It’s why I put zucchini, pumpkin, or carrots in muffins, apples in oatmeal, loads of veggies in pasta sauce, and spinach in smoothies.
Naked is known for their juices and smoothies that pack pounds of fruits and veggies in a single bottle. Their new line, Power Garden, has two flavors loaded with the good stuff: Tomato Kick and Berry Veggie.

Ahem… I may or may not be sitting on a porch with a bunch of helpful toddlers…
As I was saying, Naked asked a few of us to create some recipes using their pumped up juices. I’ve probably mentioned 5,495.394 times that I hate tomatoes, so I was pretty sure I would use the Berry juice for my recipe, but once I got to thinking, I decided to embrace the challenge and use the Tomato Kick juice.
The result? Pretty snazzy:
Slightly spicy meets cilantro-citrus infused enchilada sauce, made with Naked’s Tomato Kick juice- a fun way to add in an extra dose of veggies. A great way to jazz up your favorite enchilada recipe. Complements these pineapple-laced enchiladas quite well!
