mixing vegetable juice in jar If you like to sip at something during the day or prefer a light, between-meals snack, vegetable juice is an excellent option, hot or cold. Staying hydrated isn't always easy, and eating the recommended amount of vegetables every day can be challenging. Vegetable juice is a good solution, cold from the fridge or heated in a mug. Naturally, juice does not replace vegetables; think of it as a supplement not a substitute.

Mixing your own vegetable juice can be extremely economical. No juice-extraction appliance required. Check the price difference between a can of tomato paste and a litre jug of veg juice.

measuring cups and spoons
small funnel
can opener
whisk

2 liter (1/2 gallon) jug with tight-fitting lid
Ingredients
1 small (5.5 oz) can tomato paste
4 cups water
