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 !!!!! 

Ingredients:

Serves one cup
Tomato - 1 
Carrot - 1 small
Celery - 1 stalk
Lemon - 1
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - a pinch

Method:

Wash all the vegetables. 
Peel the carrot and chop it, cut one stalk of celery and remove the ends, chop the tomato, squeeze the lemon juice and remove the seeds.



Now add tomato, carrot, celery into the blender and add the salt and pepper.
Blend it till the veggies turn to a smooth paste.
Add 1/2 cup water,  little by little while blending. 
Add lemon juice and give a final blend.
Pour it in a juice mug and serve immediately. Add ice cubes for chilled mocktail.
Garnish it with cut lemon piece or with some mint leaves.
