[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tomatoes!  I have a Vitamix and try to drink a veggie smoothie every day.  I ALWAYS put tomatoes in and they give it a really nice flavor.  I vary the greens, but also use any of the following: broccoli, red or yellow peppers (you could do green, I just prefer the other colors), a sliver of onion, half a clove of garlic, parsley, cilantro (really any herb), zucchini, cukes, celery, etc.

Carrots will also give it a sweetness as will beets.  I don't really like fruit so I don't add any, but hubby likes to add apples, pears, or bananas.

I go to the farmers market every weekend and buy tons of veggies.  It's a great way to start the day.[/quote]

Is this like a gazpacho?  Or, how much greens do you put in relative to the tomatoes?[/quote]

PP here.  Yes, sometimes I make a Gazpacho-like smoothie by leaving out the greens.  Just tomato, peppers, celery, little onion, cucumber.  I like to add a chili too to give it some kick!  It's like a homemade V8 or even a Virgin Mary.  But if I add other green veggies, especially broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. then it becomes more like a green smoothie and the tomatoes just make it a little sweeter and less grassier tasting.  I also like adding a little onion and garlic - just  tiny amount works.  It gives the smoothie a little zesty kick.  [/quote]
