Tomato Smoothie | VEGAN | Probably a little weird...

[@veronicaenamorado8991]

Hey Lisa! I'm from Spain and during summer we eat a lot of gazpacho, a cold tomato soup loaded with veggies. I've moved to the States and since smoothies are a bigger thing here this summer I made a lot of "gazpacho" smoothies. They're savory so they're not for everyone, but since I prefer savory than sweet, I love them! I put ripe tomatoes in the blender, cucumber, a small piece of onion, a small piece of bell pepper, some salt, garlic powder, a bit of cumin and olive oil and vinegar. Sounds very weird but its very delicious and very satisfying, specially during the summer months bc it's so refreshing!

My mind cannot wrap itself around what this must taste like, but I really really wanna try it! Once you started adding the sugar you had me intrigued. I don't have any butt tomatoes, but store-bought ones will have to do lol :D

[@Thevietvegan]

Haha vine tomatoes would work best! You want sweet and juicy ones with a thin skin :) It's a childhood favourite of mine XD But maybe my tastebuds are weird. I DUNNO.

[@cadryskitchen]

I'm intrigued! I love tomato smoothies with bell peppers, cucumbers, and garlic. That's more on the savory side, of course. I'm going to give yours a shot!

[@Thevietvegan]

+Cadry's Kitchen oooh savoury smoothie. Hope you like my sweet tomato one!

[@Antestor]

Had the exact same stuff growing up. Good times.

[@maremacd]

I'm not sure I'll try this, but the video was really entertaining. Ice cream in a bun. Haha! When my siblings and I were really young and on the very rare occasions that my mom was out, my dad made dinner. He always made burnt butter scrambled eggs with ketchup, toast, and "banana mush" (bananas, sugar, and a little milk). I remember one time my sister's friend stayed for dinner and was absolutely appalled. He used to tell us it was what he ate in the army (um, ok), and we loved it! He eventually became the primary cook and a really good one at that, but nothing was ever as good as his signature meal. . 😊

I know it's still a ways away but could you do a video on some traditional thanksgiving recipes made vegan? Like green bean casserole, turkey alternative, candied yams etc.

[@Thevietvegan]

I could try, but I never really grew up with Thanksgiving the way most North Americans did. I've never had candied yams or green bean casserole before ^^;;

[@bellagoth8882]

ok this makes a lot of sense. you know i see a lot of people veganizing poke by using tomato OR watermelon as the imitation fish and it never made any sense to me. but since lisa says tomato and watermelon can be interchangeable in recipes, i am now a believer. (side note lisa you should totally try to make a poke recipe)

[@glueandglitter]

Oh my gosh, what a fun smoothie idea! I can't wait to try this.

[@Omnom3702]

Whoa my mom and I do something similar where we cut tomatoes thinly and put it in a tall glass w/ sugar and muddle it up into a drink. It's really delicious and I enjoy the chunky bits haha (oddly enough we're Viet too!) I'll try this version out sometime

[@Thevietvegan]

+Omnom3702 my mom said it was a viet thing! But I have never heard of anyone else doing this lol. I like the chunky bits too 😜 i think i'll only blend it a little next time.

[@thewellsoul8879]

I've been obsessing over tomatoes lately. This sounds so weird but so incredible? I don't care that it's a treat I want this for breakfast tomorrow 😌

[@EverythingEman]

This really tasted good. I'm amazed. And yes, some sweetness is required. I used Stevia sweetener. I went from someone who cannot stand tomato to someone that just drank two tomatoes🍅 😂

[@leeflesher3688]

I mean as a child, or at least in my house. We would eat steamed Broccoli with ketchup, or pomegranates with honey and cinnamon.

[@shannonhughes8488]

When I was a kid I would eat slices of tomato dipped in sugar, I can totally see how this would work

[@Thevietvegan]

Hah yay I feel less weird.

[@memphistigers777]

I like the watermelon to tomato comparison. I'd like to try that smoothie with salt replacing the sugar

[@jeiheek7613]

This isnt wierd at all! This is actually my favorite treat for summer i would actually freeze the tomatoes, rinse the skin off and blend it with a bit of sugar or honey! That way it has a more of a thick sorbet texture! So delish👍

[@Thevietvegan]

mmmmm that sounds good :)

[@Kadhyaa]

Love these cleaning out my fridge videos! I actually did a variation of your curry today and it's delicious :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Yay! Curry for everyone!! :)

[@amberflower6667]

[@forfreedomssake4315]

[@timnguyen8782]

Refreshing, delicious and healthy. This is perfect for a hot Summer day. Thank you for sharing.

[@Thevietvegan]

:) Thanks for watching!

[@JustLindsayH]

This sounds so good! I'm going to the farmers market today to get some tomatoes.

[@lulublue9108]

Lisa I Love your videos I live in Detroit and your donut video inspired me to get my enhanced license so I can do a day trip to Canada to experience the great Vegan food thank you💖😊

[@Thevietvegan]

Oooh that's so cool! I'm so excited for you

[@lulublue9108]

Wow thanks for responding I will keep you posted on how it goes😀

[@nickyboehlen6836]

Add some vodka and seasoning called bloody Mary I might have to try that I'm going to have tons of cherry tomatoes in my garden this year with have to try this

[@ROMANJRIII]

Wow very nice,I like it too.

[@Twocityvegans]

Yum!!!! Reminds me of the simplicity of my watermelon limeade. I wanna try this with agave!!!

[@Thevietvegan]

Mmmm now I want watermelon limeade.

[@kennylang7125]

I don't know what to call this.... Ketchup

[@beimnetagiza3967]

Love it...but we can skip the sugar😉

[@korrmc]

This is so bizarre to me. I love tomatoes just not in beverage form. I am hesitant to try this... But I think I will... My Grampa used to make us onion and peanut butter sandwiches... I think it's a generation thing... I was not really a fan lol.

[@Thevietvegan]

+Korr Mc hahahah it's actually a delicious smoothie, i swear! Onion and peanut butter though? I'm skeptical lol

[@TheTamago]

I hate raw tomatoes with all my heart, i would rather eat your knife and your t-shirt BUT i still gave a like to your video because i really wanted to be the 100th thumb up :DDD Also, if it can help your channel to grow weeeeeell i'm all for it.

[@Thevietvegan]

Aw thank you hahah. I really appreciate your support even if you don't like raw tomatoes or fork biting XD

[@lotussy4498]

I tried it ! Its so good tbh

[@meanngirl]

tomatoes and watermelon interchangeable ... hmmm. I'll try it. #kindaweird

[@Thevietvegan]

Tomatoes are pretty versatile and more like, mainstream when it comes to innovative recipes, but I draw insp from watermelon.org sometimes (not a vegan site). They come up with some bizarre looking stuff, but they know their stuff! It works. Haha. Full disclosure I've worked with them as a blogger in the past.

[@TheKaleSandwichShow]

Ice-cream banh mi! We use to eat that all the time!

[@Thevietvegan]

OMG NO WAY! I thought I was the only one. It's so goood!! Now I wish I had an o banh mi to put some ice cream in.

[@willlakai]

Tasty taste? What are we 8

[@Thevietvegan]

You seem mad

[@pizza9095]

Actually, that's ketchup

[@Thevietvegan]

You eat weird ketchup then, yall.

[@rinoluna8193]

You talk a lo you know? If your making a video for something just make it directly to what you want to show to your viewrs. Talking a lot all the time makes your video so boring. Really.

[@Thevietvegan]

+rino luna you don't need to watch if you don't want to, i always have the full recipe linked in the description.

[@rinoluna8193]

The Viet Vegan LOL ! Its just a joke! I love you! Thanks for the vid...

[@rinoluna8193]

The Viet Vegan just subscribed. Trying ur tomato smoothie right now hehehe.
