Instructions
Who doesn't love tomatoes? They're rich in calcium, iron, copper, fluoride, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc (whew!). Though actually a fruit, tomatoes are more widely used as a vegetable.
According to the USDA's Nutrient Base, tomatoes contain both mono- and polyunsaturated fats which help control cholesterol levels, support weight loss and are good for the heart.
Add some leafy greens, carrots and spices and you're sure to love this vegetable smoothie as much as I do.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, carrots, baby spinach, garlic, dill, balsamic vinegar and a dash of salt to the Vitamix container.
- Add purified water to reach your desired consistency.
- Blend until smooth and serve.
