Apple-Banana-Tomato Protein Smoothie

I know, I know, it sounds gross. I was honestly nervous about how this one was going to turn out, but I just kept thinking about V8 and how they can make tomatoes work so I gave it a try anyway. I must say that I am glad that I did because it turned out delicious. It smelled like banana and the flavor was mostly banana and apple with an occasional fresh tasting bite of kale thrown in.
*I apologize for missing my initial pretty pre-mixed photo, I accidentally deleted it on my camera :(

Ingredients:
1 Cup Frozen strawberries & Blueberries
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Banana (Sliced)
1 Leaf Kale (Ripped into pieces)
1 Medium Tomato (Seeded & Sliced)
1/2 Cucumber (Peeled & Sliced)
1 Apple (Cored & Sliced)
1 Peach (Pitted & Sliced)
1/4 Cup Blueberries
1 Cup Apple Juice (Not From Concentrate)

Directions:
Add the frozen ingredients into the blender first and then add the protein and the remaining ingredients, top with the apple juice (This helps ensure a better overall blend). Blend on medium/high speed until well blended and serve. This gives you 2 smoothies to enjoy so that you can take care of 2 days at once, refrigerate the remaining smoothie. Enjoy!

Mix all of the ingredients

Serve & Enjoy!
