About

Take your veggies and go! This smoothie is for those who prefer savory to sweet. It’s, of course, a play on the popular vegetable juice. Serve chilled in a glass with a salted celery–hemp seed rim and all the trimmings you’d use in a Bloody Mary. If there’s a veggie you don’t like, leave it out or add more of another.

Pour into glasses and serve, garnishing with additional parsley or basil.
