Healthy Tomato Breakfast Smoothie

I copied this from a Korean show called "King Of Food". I used to eat tomatoes sprinkled with sugar when I was young, and was interested to try this sweet & slightly savory idea.

Recipe (adapted from the show)

- 1 large tomato, cut into chunks

- 1 cup skim milk

- 1 tbsp honey

(They added 1 tbsp olive oil too but I omitted it because.... I don't have any when I made this. Ooops!)

Put all ingredients in a blender & pulse until smooth.

The verdict?

I like the flavors but the smoothie doesn't get smooth, there are many bits of tomatoes that makes drinking not too smooth. I feel that running the smoothie through a sieve would be such a waste. Have you guys experienced this? Any solution?

Healthy Dragon Fruit Smoothie & Popsicle - Perfect For Summer

This smoothie is yummy & refreshing, and it is great for digestion ;)

It's fun for the kids to make too! OB had a great time helping out & he generally likes things more if he's involved in the process.

In goes banana... Mama's heart stopped seeing him using a knife, but papa closely supervised him. Phew..

In goes the chunks of dragon fruit..

And then yakult, ice & honey.

Pulse in blender 'til smooth.

Cheers!

How was it?

All smiles! 

(And hello, beautiful poo poo, bye bye constipation! - oh gosh, being a mom has reduced me to THIS)
