Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Tips for Tuscan Tomato Basil Smoothie

A ripe, deeply colored tomato gives the smoothie a fuller flavor; watery or underripe tomatoes can make it taste thin.
For the creamiest texture, use mozzarella straight from the refrigerator and blend until no small cheese pieces remain.
Serve in a small chilled glass as an appetizer; a wide straw may clog because of the mozzarella.

Storage

This smoothie is best served immediately. Keep any leftover covered and refrigerated, and use within 24 hours; shake or reblend before serving, as separation is likely.
