Ingredients You’ll Need
-
3 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
-
1/2 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
-
Juice of 1/2 lemon
-
A few fresh mint leaves or basil (optional)
-
1/4 teaspoon black salt or regular salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup cold water or ice cubes

How to Make Fresh Tomato Smoothie Juice
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Wash all the vegetables and herbs well. Cut the tomatoes into chunks. Peel and chop the cucumber. Squeeze the lemon juice and set everything aside.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
In a blender, add the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, salt, pepper, herbs, and water or ice. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of chili powder. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Strain or Keep It Whole
You can drink the smoothie as is if you prefer a thicker texture. If you want a clearer juice, pour it through a fine mesh strainer into a jug or glass, pressing the pulp with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Serve immediately with a few ice cubes and a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon on the glass rim if you want to make it extra refreshing.
