Spinach- 1bundle
Tomato-1 big size
Carrots-1-2
Beetroot-1 head
juice of one lemon (about 4-5 tbsp)
salt to taste
Black salt- 1 tbsp
Crushed peppercorns -1tsp

Method-

1-wash and clean all vegetables and chop roughly.
2-Blanch all vegetables with little water or Microwave them for about 2-3 minutes.
3-Let them cool.
4-Put all these blanched vegetables in blender and blend till smooth paste.
5-Strain and add water if its too thick or add ice cubes.
6-Add lemon juice ,salt,black salt and crushed pepper.
7-Serve chilled.

I am sending it to spicytasty's sizzling summer contest.

Richa, I always liked those vegetable juices (as they are commercially called), but was skeptical to drink them. But, your cooler looks amazing and is bookmarked now in my list :)

Thanks for the recipe.

A perfect, nutritious drink. I am wondering about the taste. But I am sure black salt, lemon and pepper can make this drink tasty too :)
