Hi everyone! If
you're like me, you like an occasional drink of healthy vegetable
juice. Consuming the commercially prepared version, however, will
provide a plethora of unwanted ingredients. Granted, there are food manufacturers that concentrate on making all-natural versions. Still, you need to be weary for a number of reasons.
Canned or bottled
versions usually contain too much sodium, which can be labeled as any
number of things. It can contain veggies you may be allergic to.
The spices may be a mystery. The cost is always more expensive than a homemade version, too.
Here's
an EASY and quick homemade version that will satisfy your juicy
needs. You can make it with cooked or raw veggies. The choice is
yours.
3
large tomatoes, diced or 1-24 ounce canned tomatoes
2
slices onion, diced
1
cup spinach or kale, rinsed and chopped
¼
cup zucchini, diced and peeled
2
garlic cloves, minced
1
t ginger, chopped
1
medium carrot, peeled and diced
Place
all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Or, use a hand blender. Blend until a puree
consistency is reached. Add water, if necessary.
Adjust
spices per your liking. Serve immediately.
Store
leftovers in airtight container in the fridge.
NOTE:
Increase the protein content by adding some cooked beans prior to
pureeing.
Enjoy!
