Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 medium-sized Red bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 4 Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Begin by washing all vegetables thoroughly under cold water.
Chop the tomatoes, carrots, celery stalks, red bell pepper, and cucumber into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Peel the fresh ginger and garlic clove.
Add the tomatoes, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, cucumber, spinach leaves, ginger, garlic, and water to a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother texture. This step is optional for added fiber retention.
Pour the strained or unstrained juice back into the blender and add lemon juice, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
Blend for another 15-20 seconds to ensure all spices are evenly mixed.
Taste and adjust the spices to your liking if needed.
Serve immediately over ice cubes if desired for a refreshing chill, or enjoy it plain at room temperature.
