Veggie Mocktail - A Healthy Way to Welcome Spring/Summer!!

Veggie mocktail is one of the juice you can drink without any worry of calories or sugar. Its a combination of veggies and no fruit or added sugar in it. Its totally healthy and calorie free drink. As its sugar free and no fruit is added its a pure Diabetic friendly drink. 

I used blender instead of juicer as the juicer tend to remove the fiber and nutrients from the veggies. If you like your mocktail watery and clear,use juicer or use a strainer to strain the pulp after grinding it. But i prefer it with the pulp, as the purpose of this mocktail is to fill you with all the goodness of the veggies.

I used just vegetables here, if you not watching your calories or not on sugar free diet you can add some fruits like berries, orange, watermelon, pomegranate to this mocktail. Always the fruit, veggie combination gives a good taste to the mocktails. Create your own flavors with your creativity !!!!!
