    Spicy Tomato Juice - easy to make at home and YOU control the ingredients! No salt, no sugar, and you can make it as spicy or mild as you like. I've never liked tomato juice until this recipe!! Try it for yourself! And feel free to add some vodka to make it a Bloody Mary if you wish!

    Spicy Tomato Juice – a delicious, sippable way to get your veggies!

    *Just a quick note to let you know this post is sponsored by Hurom. As always, all content and opinions are my own.

    A Spicy Sip

    Confession: I’ve never liked tomato juice….until NOW! I find store bought tomato juice too thick and not very fresh tasting. It’s like drinking tomato sauce that, maybe belongs on pasta, but cold. It’s just never been appetizing to me. But, I’ve always liked the idea of tomato juice (and, hello, Bloody Mary’s!) so I was determined to create a homemade tomato juice that I actually enjoy drinking. This Spicy Tomato Juice is perfect! The perfect balance of earthy and sweet, with a subtle kick of spicy heat. So good!

    Get Your Dose of Veggies

    You know vegetables are good for you. But, are you eating enough? Fresh vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. For some people, the thought of needing to meet the daily requirement is daunting. Juicing is the perfect answer. A lot of vegetables can go into one glass and the absorption of nutrients is quicker than when you eat them.

    Hurom Slow Juicer

    I’ve recently had the opportunity to test the Hurom Slow Juicer and I have to say I’m loving it. First of all, it’s the sleekest looking juicer I’ve ever seen and it’s quite compact. Looks good on my counter and doesn’t take up a lot of room – I’m already sold.

    The Hurom brand of juicers uses Slow Squeeze Technology, which has nothing to do with the speed, but the way the juicer works. Instead of using sharp blades like most juicers, Hurom uses an energy efficient auger which is much more like juicing by hand. Why does this matter to you? The Slow Squeeze Technology minimizes damage to the produce so that it retains more nutrients and it also produces more juice than your typical juicer. While it might not be quite as fast as other juicers because you have to prep the vegetables a bit more, it’s still quick and easy to use, easy to clean and the juice speaks for itself.

    Nature is Beautiful

    Just look at that gorgeous color above! That is the totally natural, beautiful rainbow color that was created as I alternated the different vegetables going through the juicer. Isn’t nature awesome?! That’s 35 ounces of pure homemade Spicy Tomato Juice. It was almost too pretty to disturb, but trust me, you’ll want to whisk it all together so the flavors are balanced throughout.

    Make It Your Own

    The combo of vegetables in the Spicy Tomato Juice recipe below is the perfect balance for me. I used one jalapeño and thought it was just enough for a kick of heat as a background flavor. You can easily play around with these ingredients to make it your own.

    Want it sweeter – add more carrots. Want it more peppery – add more arugula. More earthy – add another beet. Spicier – add an extra jalapeño. Wanna make it a cocktail – add some vodka! (<- adults only, obviously!)

      Growing up we ate a lot of “spaghetti with v8 juice” which is literally as simple and cheap as it sounds. I’m bettering this would make an amazing grown-up version!

        Oh my, I’ve never heard of that! I would think it would be too thin for pasta, but maybe if you cook it long enough so it concentrates?? I might have to try that!

          I really don’t remember how thin / thick V8 juice is, but it would kind of coat the noodles but be a little soupy. Budgets meant lots of canned food in the 80’s with my mom! But honestly, it was pretty good.

          Oh for sure, we were pinching pennies for much of my childhood. I’m totally going to try it! 🙂

      I’ve never liked it either 😉 I like cooking with it (any veggie juice) but drinking…NO….I guess I’ll have to try if you try sauerkraut 😉

        Oh, for sure, I cook with it all the time, but could never do it cold. It’s a deal, Rebecca!
