Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (about 2 pounds) tomatoes
- 2 large carrots
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup (packed) spinach
- 0.25 cup (packed) parsley
- 1 stalk green onion
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 1 cup water
- 6 pieces (optional for serving) ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Core the tomatoes and roughly chop them. Peel the carrots and cut them into smaller chunks. Chop the celery, cucumber, red bell pepper, and green onion into manageable pieces.
In a high-speed blender or juicer, add the tomatoes, carrots, celery, cucumber, red bell pepper, spinach, parsley, and green onion.
Pour in the water to help the blender process the vegetables smoothly. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth liquid. If using a juicer, follow the instructions for processing the ingredients into juice.
Once blended, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp for a smoother juice, if desired. (Skip this step if you prefer a pulpier drink.)
Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika according to your preference.
Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes if serving immediately, or transfer the juice to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving. Shake or stir before drinking.
