Okay, it sounds terrible. These two things were on the table, but not together. Hubby and I juiced again, and truly we thought we’d have to hold our noses to get this one down. Our inspiration was V-8 Juice, which we both like, only amped up and health-ified even more. Here’s the recipe (or Mad Scientist list of ingredients):
4 Roma tomatoes (3 for hubby’s drink)
1 red beet (top removed)
3 carrots (2 for hubby’s drink)
2 celery stalks
sm handful of spinach
1/8 head of cabbage
1/2 Romaine heart
sm handful of cilantro
(hubby added a few olives and some Sriracha sauce to spice his up a bit, I liked it and did the same)
The pink color is a bit misleading, as if it should taste like a Tripleberry Julius… oh, SO not a Tripleberry. Hubby was not fond of this drink, but he downed it all like the soldier he is. I didn’t think it was too bad. I didn’t hold my nose to drink it. The mixture could have used more tomato (and maybe some vodka…) but its definitely savory, not sweet. No competition for V-8 yet.
The TUNA on the other hand was wonderful. We used white Albacore tuna and chopped red pepper seasoned with a little Mrs. Dash, Sea Salt, and fresh ground pepper. We wrapped it in Romaine lettuce leaves. Healthy and yummy.
To summarize: One “no-go” and one “eh” for the juice…. thumbs up for the tuna wraps.
