Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes
When I shared this smoothie on my YouTube channel, a lot of my followers there asked me why this smoothie wasn’t red.
The reason is that I used ingredients that overpowered the color. Ingredients such as the spinach, avocado, and even the cream cheese dominated the color of the smoothie.
If you want to make the smoothie purey red, you will need to make a few adjustments, such as:
- Use Frozen Strawberries Instead Of Avocado (1/2 cup).
- Do Not add Any Spinach.
- Add More Tomato Juice (Increase it from 1/2 cup to 1 cup).
Other variations:
- Make It Vegan: If you are vegan, swap the cream cheese for a vegan alternative, or use silken tofu instead.
- Boost With Herbs: Add a pinch of herbs of choice for flavor enhancement; for example, dried mixed herbs, or even a couple of leaves of fresh basil.
- Add Extra Protein And Tang: Drop a couple of cubes of feat for a salty higher protein tomato smoothie!
