🥘 Ingredients

My savory tomato smoothie requires just a handful of simple ingredients, easily found at your local grocery store! For the exact measurements and nutrition facts, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Fresh Tomatoes: The key ingredient for my tomato shake! I used Roma tomatoes, but you can use hot house, grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or even heirloom.

Tomato Juice: I used 1 cup tomato juice for this recipe to add a little liquid without sacrificing any of the rich tomato flavor.

Baby Spinach Leaves: Fresh spinach leaves add a punch of nutrition that you can’t even taste among the rest of the ingredients – which is why baby spinach is one of my go-to greens for most smoothies. You can use other leafy greens too but just be aware that others like kale will not be as mild and may change the flavor.

Green Onions: For just a touch of spice and peppery flavor, I like to add green onion.

Celery Stalk: I include some celery pieces with their fresh and clean taste to make this recipe even more refreshing.

Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice provides a citrusy, acidic element that makes the smoothie pop.

Salt And Pepper: No savory recipe would be complete without seasoning. They are essential for enhancing flavor, don’t skip these!

Hot Sauce: I love to spice up my drink with Tabasco sauce, or if you don’t have hot sauce you can try cayenne pepper, black pepper, or even crushed red pepper. This ingredient adds a layer of depth but is totally optional.

🔪 How To Make A Tomato Smoothie

Making a smoothie with tomatoes is just as easy as making any other smoothie. Once you have all your ingredients ready to go it takes just minutes. 

Watch my video below to see how quickly my recipe comes together in just 3 easy steps.

Cut The Tomatoes: To begin, I cut the tomatoes in half and then dice them.

Blend: Once diced, I put the tomatoes and all the other ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

Taste, Adjust, Serve: After its completely pureed, I taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If I’m adding hot sauce, I mix in a bit as well. When ready, I pour the veggie smoothie into tall glasses and serve immediately to enjoy. 

📖 Variations

Cucumber Tomato Smoothie: Add an even more fresh and crisp flavor to this delicious recipe by adding cucumber.

Tomato Banana Smoothie: This might sound like an odd combination, but trust me, adding banana will give this recipe a subtle sweetness and a rich, creamy texture.

Tomato Carrot Smoothie: Sometimes I’ll toss some carrots in the smoothie mixture for even more health benefits and a slightly sweet flavor.

Tomato Avocado Smoothie: Make your drink creamier by adding avocado. This high-fat fruit will barely be noticeable in the taste and add even more nutrients. 

Sweet Tomato Smoothie: Use cherry tomatoes and omit the greens and hot sauce to make a sweet cherry tomato smoothie.

V8 Juice Smoothie: One of my favorite variations is to turn this into a V8 smoothie recipe! Just add some carrots, beets, and Worcestershire sauce, and you’ve got yourself a delicious v8 juice copycat.

Add More Flavor: Add even more heat with cayenne or other hot spices like chili powder. I have also added fresh garlic, fresh basil, or lime juice for more flavor without the heat.

Add Other Fruits or Veggies: For fruit smoothies – try mango, apples, pear, pineapples, or even a mix of berries (strawberries & blueberries would taste great). For veggies, I’ll add other leafy greens for more of a green smoothie feel, a bell pepper, or even sweet potatoes. Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint would also work well in my recipe.

Add Protein: Feel free to add protein and healthy fats as well by adding in chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flax seeds.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

My tomato spinach smoothie recipe is so versatile! I have enjoyed it for breakfast, as a mid-day snack, alongside lunch or even dinner, and it adds a refreshing and nutritious touch to my day every time. It’s also a great base for fun drink options. 

With Breakfast: I will often enjoy my smoothie alongside a hearty breakfast. It pairs wonderfully with my vegan bagels, cornmeal porridge, and/or my low carb breakfast casserole on a slow weekend morning.

With Snacks: For a more filling quick and healthy snack, I’ll have it with some fresh veggies and hummus, a handful of nuts, or a piece of avocado toast. 

With Sandwiches: I love to pair this drink with a sandwich for lunch or a light dinner. It goes particularly well with my vegan hummus avocado wrap, cheesy veggie panini, or sourdough grilled cheese. 

With Alcohol: For a fun twist, use my recipe as a base for a Bloody Mary. Just add a splash of vodka and a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.

🧊 Storage Directions

Fridge: I pour any leftover smoothie into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will stay fresh for 1-2 days. Before drinking, I give it a good stir or a quick blend to restore its smooth texture.

Freezer: Veggie smoothies are best enjoyed fresh but you can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to pour the smoothie into freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays. Once frozen, I transfer the cubes to a resealable plastic bag. When ready, I then let it thaw in the fridge overnight or blend the frozen cubes into a slushy treat.
