Key Ingredients

Tomatoes contain antioxidants and are the main ingredient of this fresh juice. You can use plum tomatoes or really any variety of tomato that you like. One of the benefits of tomato juice is that you’ll get a lot of nutrition in just one glass of juice.

Carrots add a natural sweetness when juiced. I think the carrots help balance the tomato juice taste, along with the other ingredients.

Celery contains fiber and is hydrating and helps balance the flavors of this homemade tomato juice recipe.

A pinch of salt brings out the best flavors. Feel free to add some black pepper or cayenne pepper if you wish!

Hot sauce makes this a really fun drink! Definitely give it a try, or leave it out if you don’t like spicy foods.
