Tomato Smoothie

The Tomato Smoothie is a pleasant adaptation of the regular smoothies, the natural abundance of tomatoes (sweet and acidic in flavor) is mixed into a fresh taste of lemon. It is a chilled beverage that was created as a refreshing and light drink in hot climates and has now turned into a wellness beverage used by people in need of hydration and supporting their digestive system. This one has a distinctive taste palette, unlike a smoothie based on fruit products- it is just ideal when the end result is more savory, rather than more sweet. It is particularly perfect with persons of sensitive stomachs like it provides non-heavy nourishment.
