I had some salad greens heading for their last legs, also some leftover salad with Italian dressing which I never got around to eating last night ( had to run out on short notice ).
This morning, I dumped the salad and greens into the blender, added some plain tomato juice.....wow, I think I'll be getting my helpings of veggies now a lot more often. I never DID trust that there was much nutrition in that V-8. Next time I'm going to add a bit of
Veg-it to it or maybe some green Tabasco.

BOGO on mayo in my market - I think I'm set thru summer.

Hmm, all those gallons of mayo will surely cancel out any health
benefit from your veggie smoothies. LOL

I've been making my own tomato juice for many years from tomato paste
and water, and add powdered dehy soup greens for V-8... costs less
than half as much by not paying for large containers and for
transporting all that water. ALL tomato juice and most tomato
products, like ketchup, are made from tomato paste... listed in
ingredients as tomato concentrate.

Del Monte tomato juice is quite a bit thicker than V-8 or Campbells tomato juice.

It is certainly true that tomato juice that was reconstituted to the same
concentration calorie wise would contain at least twice the fiber if it
were reconstituted from tomato "paste," rather that bought already
reconstituted in a bottle or can as "tomato juice," and I imagine that it
would also taste quite a bit better.
