This smoothie was created because I needed to get something in me before I went to the grocery store. Shopping on an empty stomach is a huge no, no for me because I end up with a cart full of random stuff that doesn't make any sense.
I don't like making a whole meal for myself, so I decided to just go with a smoothie. It's quick, easy and super healthy! I always like when I can sneak veggies into my smoothies and this one was a serious home run!! I was throwing the frozen fruit into the blender and thinking, hmmm...what else? I looked over on my counter and there was a big, beautiful bowl full of plump, juicy grape tomatoes just begging to go in and join the frozen cherries and banana. I grabbed a handful, threw them in, and away we went. The result was sweet, thick and creamy. Tomatoes are technically a fruit anyway so why should it even be weird to put them in a smoothie, I no longer think so!
I urge you to give this a try it's a wonderful, energy boosting and healthy way to start your day or keep yourself fueled during the day when you are desperately in need of a pick me up!
