Vegetable Smoothie with Carrots, Onions, Tomatoes, Zucchini, and Herbs and Spices

Ingredients

1 tsp. Basil, sweet dried leaves

1 tsp. Curry Powder
4 tbsp. Flax Seeds
1/3 to 1/2 cup Onions, sweet
1 tsp. Oregano, dried leaves

Preparation

This is a recipe we like to make in the summer when we can get fresh tomatoes from the farm stores, as the flavor is so much better.  This recipe makes four 12-oz. glasses of vegetable smoothie, which we prepare in our Vita-Mix high speed blender.  If you have a smaller blender or wish to make less, cut the recipe in half.

Wash and clean the veggies, peel the onion and carrots, and remove the stem ends from the tomatoes and zucchini squash.

Put the tomatoes in the bottom of the blender container and add the other ingredients on top.

Cover the blender container and run the blender on high speed until the smoothie is creamy smooth.  (We usually add additional veggies and/or ice to bring up the volume once the veggies have been ground up and the air spaces around the veggies are gone.)

Serve with a straw and enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
