Who said that smoothies need to be sweet? I highly recommend giving this one a try. It is also a good way to get in your recommended vegetable portions for a day and you could even blend in some lettuce or spinach leaves to make it extra nutritious.
I always find that smoothies need some kind of a creamy element. In sweet versions, I usually use banana for that. In savory versions, avocado works well, making this smoothie creamy and luscious. As tomato is rather watery, I recommend preparing this smoothie right before enjoying it as otherwise, it will split. If you need to prepare it in advance, make sure you shake it well before drinking!
I always add a ton of hot sauce and pepper, sometimes even a drop of Worcestershire sauce as I enjoy strong flavors and everything spicy, but feel free to start adding only a drop and working up from there. You can always add spice but never take it away.
