Spring has arrived in Poland for good, everything around us is getting green, and birds are starting to brighten our mornings with their cheerful warble. Pleasant temperatures make us more physically active, in my case that means long walks and facing my own weaknesses while running. Spring is also a good season to look more carefully at what we place on our plates and what we drink on a daily basis. I just adore healthy beverages, and on the other hand, I avoid the ones which are unhealthy and the ones which contain too many calories, just to treat myself to some other pleasures during the day, such as sweets for example … however, one can’t live drinking just water … that’s why, today I’d like to present you delicious and healthy tomato smoothie according to the recipe by Nun Mary, which will satisfy the palates even of those of you who are really not fond of this kind of drinks.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe, fleshy tomatoes
- a piece of chili pepper or a little of Tabasco sauce
- 1/3 glass of still mineral water
- 2 sprigs of parsley
- salt, pepper to taste
- some crushed ice
Portions:
- 1 person
Time of prepearation:
- around 10 min
Preparation:
Remove the stalks out of your tomatoes and blanch them lightly in hot water. Peel the tomatoes, cut their flesh into small pieces. Take the seeds out of chili pepper and chop it carefully. Rinse parsley with some water, next make it dry with a paper towel. After draining your parsley, chop it well. Mix tomatoes with chili pepper or Tabasco sauce and mineral water. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, add some crushed ice and mix everything together for a moment. Ready made smoothie should be served in a tall glass, you can sprinkle it with some chopped parsley. The beverage should be drunk at once. Bon Appetit!
See you around!
Yours,
Passion Piece

How interesting! I admit, I've never tried a tomato smoothie before. I bet I'd like it though since I'm a fan of tomatoes.
Basically a bloody mary without the vodka! I do like tomatoes, I think I might like this.
The last time I had a tomato drink was when I was a kid but maybe I should give it a try too.
Put a little alcohol in there and you've got a Bloody Mary!
Tomato drink? I tried Bloody Mary once and I didn't love it! xD
It's good to know that spring has come to Poland and I am going to visit in just 2 days. This smoothie sounds like a bloody mary without the alcohol. :)
I snack a lot on tomatoes as they are not only healthy but they are also so yummy! I have not tried this one but now you got me curious!
I have never ever thought of making a tomato smoothie. It is an interesting concept but I am sure is one that I would just have to try!
This sounds like a healthy version of Bloody Mary or Ceasar, i love both lol. Thanks a lot.
This looks cool and easy. I have the ingredients so I will try it today.
Tomato smoothie? Wow! I have made tomato sauce nut not smoothies before. I don't know if I'd drink it, unless in a bowl of soup.
oh very interesting! I never made one before, but I will give it a try.
My husband would really like this. He is a big fan of V8 and drinks of the like!
I have never had a tomato smoothies before. Not a big fa of V8 juice but maybe I should try this!
It sounds like a frozen Bloody Mary! Not sure if I could get on board with that but I can give it a try.
I'm afraid this one isn't for me as I really don't like toms!
This looks like a pretty good pick me up in the morning. I know that my mother would love it for sure.
I am yet to try tomato smoothie looks delicious. I will give it a try.
