Ingredients
Scale
Smoothie:
- 1/3 cup almonds, slivered
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
- ½ cup plant-based milk, plain, unsweetened (i.e., soymilk)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ¼ jalapeno
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ice cubes
Sea Salt Paprika Rim (optional):
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 lemon or lime
Instructions
- Place almonds in a dish, cover with boiling water, and soak for about 15 minutes, until softened. Drain water.
- While almonds are soaking, place tomatoes with juice, plant-based milk, green onions, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro, black pepper, and ice cubes in a blender container.
- Place the soaked, drained almonds to the blender, and process until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- If desired, make a sea salt paprika rim for two smoothie glasses by mixing the paprika and sea salt in a small saucer. Rub a half lemon or lime against the rim of the glass. Dip the glass in the saucer with the sea salt paprika mixture to create a crust.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into 2 glasses (about 1 1/2 cups smoothie per glass). Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in air-tight containers to enjoy later.
