Doctor Tomato Juice

This is my rendition of my favourite juice that Fresh discontinued :(

First, why is it called Doctor Tomato?

I assume its because of the healing properties within the lycopene of the tomato. Its a mega anti-oxidant which means it helps fight aging as well as having your back the day after you kick your own butt by eating badly/having drinks/smoking/taking medicine/using unnatural products on & in your body (including creams and facewashes!).

It's also known to fight cancer, diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol & cataracts! Your chances of these diseases are said to vastly decrease with a vegetarian lifestyle BUT a little Doctor Tomato safety net never hurt nobody :)

What You'll Need
  • 2 or 3 medium tomatoes
  • 1/2" chunk of ginger
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1 or 2 carrot
  • 1 clove of garlic (if I don't care that I smell garlicky)
  • handful of cilantro

I like to put the garlic & ginger (unjuicables) between the juicier bits (like 2 tomatoes) to get it flowing.

It kind of tastes like V8 but without all of that sodium.
