Step 1

Select tomatoes that are firm to the touch yet fully ripe and a vibrant red. While tomatoes are delicious raw, blending them with nuts like this enhances their nutritional value and flavor profile.

Step 2

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into manageable pieces before placing them into the blender.

Step 3

Secure the lid of the blender and blend until smooth.

*Tip: For an extra refreshing drink, add a few ice cubes along with the tomatoes before blending. This will create a wonderfully cool and invigorating beverage.
*Tip: If you enjoy a bit of texture, blend for a shorter time. If you prefer a perfectly smooth consistency, blend until completely liquefied.

Step 4

Pour the 50cc of cold water or the entire bottle of plain yogurt into the blended tomato mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of honey for a touch of sweetness.

*Important Note: When mixing honey, use a wooden or plastic spoon instead of a metal one. This helps preserve the beneficial nutrients in the honey.

Step 5

Pour the finished tomato juice into your favorite glass. Sprinkle a small amount of sliced almonds on top for a delightful garnish. This juice pairs wonderfully with soft rice cakes (tteok) as a healthy and satisfying snack for children.

Step 6

Feeling uninspired or drained? A tall glass of this cool, fresh tomato juice is the perfect pick-me-up. It’s a fantastic way to boost your health and satisfy your taste buds simultaneously!
