How to Make Our Slimming Veggie Drink
- Prepare the vegetables by thoroughly washing and roughly chopping the tomatoes, carrot, and green pepper.
- Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender, including the garlic, water, and lemon juice if you prefer a bit of tang.
- Blend the mixture until completely smooth. This usually takes about 30–60 seconds, depending on the power of your blender.
- Adjust the flavor after tasting. You can add a tiny pinch of salt or an extra squeeze of lemon to make the flavors pop.
- Serve this Weight Watchers drink immediately over ice for the most refreshing experience.
Pro Tip: For a silkier texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. However, I recommend keeping the pulp! It adds essential fiber, making this a more slimming and filling option that keeps you satisfied longer.
