Homemade vegetable juice
Today, I will be making a homemade vegetable juice that tastes similar to the original V-8 juice. However, unlike V-8 juice, I do not use beet juice or watercress lettuce in my recipe. You can use frozen or canned tomatoes, carrots, and spinach if you don't have any fresh vegetables, and you can use dried parsley flakes if you don't have fresh parsley. This juice isn't just delicious; it's also very healthy and can be used as a meal or snack replacement for those of you who are watching your calories.
Ingredients:
4 cups of tomato, diced
1 cup of carrots, diced
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup of spinach
1 tablespoon of parsley
1 tablespoon of celery flakes
1 cup of water, divided
To double the recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:
8 cups of tomato, diced
2 cups of carrots, diced
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon of seasoning salt
2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup of spinach
2 tablespoons of parsley
2 tablespoons of celery flakes
2 cups of water, divided
Instructions:
Combine the tomatoes, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a half cup of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat. Allow the tomato mixture to simmer, covered, for twenty minutes.
Add the spinach, parsley, and celery flakes. Simmer for another five to ten minutes while keeping the pan covered. Remove the pan from the burner and then allow the mixture to cool for about twenty minutes.
Now, pour the mixture into a blender. Add the remaining half a cup of water and purée until smooth for about two minutes. Strain through a mesh strainer if you don't like vegetable pulp in your juice.
Pour the juice into jars or a pitcher and store your delicious vegetable juice in the refrigerator. Serve it once it's chilled. Enjoy!
