Tomatoes are a great ingredient for a healthy smoothie recipe because of their antioxidant properties. Men in particular should add tomatoes to their diet to help prevent prostate cancer.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (chopped) tomatoes
- 1/2 cup tomato juice
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup carrots
- 1/4 cup (chopped) celery
- Tabasco or hot sauce to taste
- 2 cups ice
thats shoulds preety good until you added the hotsauce.I don’t eat hot food I eat verrryyy healthy
I just gave it a try. It’s pretty good. The hot sauce is a nice touch.
What hot (spicy) foods do is speed up your metabolism. If you’re dieting, it’s recommended that you eat hotter foods. If you live in Third World (Thailand, Mexico, etc.) countries where sanitation is an issue, hot foods are used to kill worms, etc. in your digestive tract. Now you know.
That sounds a bit farfetched. If our stomach acids don’t kill parasites, it seems unlikely that spicy foods would either. BUT then I read this: http://www.livestrong.com/article/54060-spices-foods-kill-parasites/ Who knew? Andrew did.
yes! Spicy food is actually good for you! Just as long as you can tolerate it.
This was unbearable. It had such a horrible tangy taste it made me gag.
Here’s another link abt spicy foods vs parasites:

Another candidate for the ‘healthy smoothie recipe’
Thanks, i will try this recipe but all i will be able to think about is parasites! haha, and yes, spicy foods are known to increase the metabolic rate so i will be adding extra :-)
i will try this. Thanks
I tried this smoothie last night and it was very tasty. I followed the recipe with the following modifications/additions. I used Spicy V8, 1/2 clove of garlic, and a leftover piece of cucumber. I substituted water for the apple juice.
I was very happy with it.
Ridiculous story there. What happened after? Take care!
