Kale and Tomato Smoothie
Servings: 1
This savory tomato kale smoothie is fresh, bold, and surprisingly satisfying. Made with ripe tomatoes, leafy kale and crisp celery, it delivers a garden-fresh flavor that feels both refreshing and nourishing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale stems removed
- 1 ½ cup tomato
- ½ stalk celery
- 1 stalk green onions
- ½ garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- pinch sea salt, unrefined
Instructions
- Blend the kale and tomatoes until smooth.
- Add the celery, green onions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, and salt and blend again.
Notes
- Adjust consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of water and blend again until it reaches your preferred texture.
- Start mild with spices: Cayenne pepper and hot sauce can quickly overpower the smoothie. Start with a small amount, taste, and increase gradually to suit your spice preference.
- Choose fresh produce: Ripe tomatoes and crisp celery will give you the best flavor and overall result.
- Blend thoroughly: Leafy green vegetables like kale need extra blending time. Blend long enough to fully break down the fibers for a smoother, more enjoyable drink.
