| A summer fruit salad smoothie. |
British journalist Miles Kington once said, “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”
I wonder what he would say about this summer smoothie recipe, which is pretty much a blended-up version of a fruit salad... with just a touch of tomato.
Just a touch, mind. One single cherry tomato. Baby steps. Or kind of a wildcard, if you will. I'm not the biggest fan of the taste of raw tomato, in general, so really, this is me living life on the edge.
I was pleased that I tasted only just the tiniest hint of tomato in the end result - just enough to be discernible if you think about it, but so subtle that you might just completely miss it. I might be more daring next time in an attempt to slowly endear myself to the taste of raw tomato. Maybe.
mixed summer salad smoothie
(serves 1)
1 ripe banana
1 soft ripe nectarine or peach
1 orange (use whole segments with seeds removed)

10 mint leaves

4 ice cubes
Blitz all ingredients together with a blender until smooth.
Serve and drink immediately while it's cool and fresh!

ReplyDeleteAw thanks! :)
DeleteThis sounds really interesting. I like the idea of tomato in a fruity smoothie to give a bit of tang.
ReplyDeleteIt does add a different touch to the regular fruit smoothie, that's for sure!

ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a wholesome start to the day. :D
DeleteThat sounds really interesting. I am a huge fan of raw tomatoes, but have never tried them in a smoothie before.
ReplyDeleteWould love to know how you feel about raw tomatoes in smoothies if you ever try it!
DeleteI'm game! I had a couple of lovely cherry tomato and raspberry dishes in Auckland a year ago and was completely converted.
ReplyDeleteThe cherry tomato and raspberry dish sounds intriguing!
