Savory V8 Tomato Smoothie
Servings: 1
This savory tomato smoothie blends ripe tomatoes, kale, celery and green onion with garlic, lime and a pinch of cayenne for anyone who skips sweet blends. Just 83 calories and five minutes.
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
- Add the kale and tomatoes to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the celery, green onion, garlic, lime juice, cayenne and salt and blend again until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Spice Level: Cayenne adds heat quickly. Start with a pinch, taste and add more to suit you.
- Ripeness Tip: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor; they also supply the liquid for blending. If it's too thick, add a small splash of water.
- Greens Swap: Spinach blends more easily than kale and tastes milder. Any other leafy green works too.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, since the tomato can separate.
