Just because we know the formula for a smoothie is fruit + ice + something doesn’t mean we get it right all the time. Thankfully there’s Superfood Smoothies, the cookbook to show us the way to healthy frozen nirvana. Sweet strawberries and grassy basil are our new favorite combination.
Basil gives strawberries a lightly floral accent, but that’s not the real secret here. Instead, say hello to tomatoes! Strawberries and tomatoes share many of the same flavor notes, which is why incorporating the lycopene-rich beauties in this blend is a seamless addition.
