Limes

Has anyone put limes in the smoothies? I LOVE them. In the past I had been squeezing limes in them from time to time, but that is nothing like the flavor from quartering the lime and tossing two quarters into the blender - peel and all! It makes it so good!

I thought that lime peel was bitter. I know that Green Smoothie girl recommends tossing in a piece of lemon with rind. I have tried that. Guess I will try a lime quarter sometime.

I haven't noticed it being more bitter. It just tastes more like lime and I really love lime. I have not tried that with oranges, but I have heard that orange peels are bitter. I know that for a while I was seeding the oranges before blending them because the seeds were bitter.
