Shweet Tomato Juice...YUMMO MY V8

I love V8 Juice BUT it has way to much salt and other stuff in it that I just do NOT want to put into this body any longer. So I set about playing around in the kitchen one day when hubby was away at work. I decided after several attempts at creating the *prefect* V8 that I would just created one that we both loved and call it my SHWEET TOMATO JUICE.  As you can guess from my recipes I create them for two people at least and usually make them for a pitcher size.
Here is the one we both agree'd is our Favorite one.

Shweet Tomato Juice


2 cups of red grapes
1 sweet green onion
5 stalks of celery ( you may add more if you like your tomato juice saltier)
2 large carrots (4 if they are smaller)
1 large hand of FRESH basil
1lime peeled
1 large cucumber
10 -12 Roma  Large Tomatoes

Juice all your items together. Make sure to juice the green onion and basil before the cucumber and tomatoes so that their liquids will clean out all the herbal goodness. Taste to see if you need to add any of the veggies or fruits to adjust for YOUR tastes.
Save your pulp in freezer safe bags or boxes for sauces. I'll have a post about that soon on here and also in the Living the Shweet Life Blog too.

This juice can be served cold or can be served luke warm as a soup. Never heat more than 118 degrees

Shweet Italian Style Juice

I like to experiment in the kitchen much like a mad Scientist does in the lab. Only I think I am luckier 'cause I get to taste what I create when I am finished mixing up the veggies and fruits.  This is one of my Tomato Juices that I drink about once a week to make sure that I get my weekly dose of turnips. Turnips have a beneficial effect on the urinary system, purify the blood and aid in the elimination of toxins.You can use both the greens and the bulb of you wish. I can't use the greens due to a stomach issue, but the bulb is nice and mild when juiced, not at all like the cooked critter.

Shweet Italian Style Juice

12 Large Roma Tomatoes
6 Carrots (if carrots are think use 4)
3 Sweet Green Onions
1 small Turnip Bulb
1 Large Handful of FRESH Basil
2 Large Cucumbers (peeled)
( You can add 3 stalks of Celery )


Juice all above and serve. This makes more than a glass so share with a friend or love one. Make sure to juice the Sweet Green Onion and Basil before you juice your Cucumbers so that the Cucumbers will remove all the nice yummy herbal goodness.

Make sure to save your pulp and store it in your freezer in a freezer safe storage bag or box I will be showing your ways to use your pulp to create sauces, make cakes and even use it in things like meat loafs (if you eat meat still).
