Green Smoothies

I have had a full blenderful every day this week, and most days I have to hold myself back from making another.(Why do I stop myself? I don’t know.

1 can (16 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (16 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
1 can (16 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed (actually, it’s better to use fresh tomatoes if [...]
