Salad Smoothie

Recipe inspired by Chef AJ. 

Salad Smoothie
Yields: about 4 cups
dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free

Ingredients:

• 2-3 handfuls Spinach (or Greens of choice)
• 1-2 cups Water
• 1 large heirloom Tomato
• 1-2 Baby Cucumbers
• 2 tbsp. diced Onion
• Sea Salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Blend everything together using a high speed blender
2. Consume immediately

 
Hoff Thoughts: At first, the thought of this was not appealing at all, but since one of my new goals is to consume greens at every meal and I hate salads, I decided to give it a try.  It's not bad, it's not good, but it is drinkable.  Heirloom Tomatoes have more flavor, so do yourself a favor and try them over a typical Tomato.  This won't be replacing my beloved fruit smoothies, but to get down a lot of greens & veggies in a pinch, this will work.
