Late summer...vegetable smoothie to enhance breakfast

o

We love to eat vegetables for breakfast. Here is a new way: a veggie smoothie. It is not very beautiful, but includes tomato, cucumber, apple, pear. The tomato and cucumber are from our own garden. Try it, it is so refreshing to go with whatever else you are having for your breakfast. The key is to chew it first for a few seconds before swallowing, like you are eating food and not just gulp it like you are drinking a beverage.

We had some of this smoothie left over. Here is what we did with it.

1. Mixed it with Malaysian red lentil curry over rice. It was like a fresh chutney!

2. Next day, we added the remainder to our pasta sauteed with eggplant, birch mushroom, and pine nuts.

The tomatoes shown here, we have picked from our yard; currently we are harvesting all the different varieties of tomato that we are growing this year. We even had some volunteer seedlings.
