It's 100% Vegan and Gluten-Free
Did you know that traditional Bloody Mary drinks that are made with some premixes are not vegan or gluten-free?
It's true!
For example, in the ingredient list below, one non-vegan ingredient is "anchovies" and one gluten ingredient is "wheat + gluten".
You don't have to worry about that with my healthy version because it's 100% vegan and gluten-free!
Ready In Under 10 Minutes
My goal when making this healthy bloody mary recipe was to keep it clean and keep it simple.
It's really a basic recipe but I made mine with freshly juiced tomatoes using my Omega J8005 juicer, and using freshly juiced tomatoes instead of a processed pre-mix makes all the difference!
It had such a clean taste to it!
The juicer I used, an Omega J8005 (a low-speed masticating juicer), is a powerhouse but I primarily purchased it because it was the best for juicing leafy greens and wheatgrass.
Since I was juicing tomatoes today, it really wasn't a problem because they were so soft, with a gentle push, the went right down the chute in ¼ size pieces.
Because the tomatoes were "soft", I alternated hard/soft as I juiced...piece of celery, piece of tomato, piece of celery, piece of tomato, etc.
The celery helped to push the tomato through more easily.
Once I finished juicing the tomatoes and celery, I strained the pulp...and had to do this several times because of the tomatoes.
With a little patience, I ended up with a beautiful pale red juice that smelled unbelievable!
I played with the seasonings a little and got them exactly where I liked them...but everyone is different so adjust them if you prefer.
One important note...start very light with the cayenne pepper!
Made With Clean, Real Food Ingredients - No Premixes!
If you buy a traditional Bloody Mary drink at a restaurant or bar, it will be made with a "premix" to flavor it.
For example, here is a list of ingredients in a popular Bloody Mary premix:
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Zing-Zang Bloody Mary Mix Ingredients: TOMATO PUREE (WATER, TOMATO PASTE), VEGETABLE JUICE BLEND (CARROT, CELERY, PARSLEY, BEET, LETTUCE, WATERCRESS, SPINACH), DISTILLED VINEGAR, SEASONING (SALT, HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN [CORN, YEAST, SOY AMINO ACIDS, WHEAT GLUTEN], SUGAR, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, ONION, SPICE, DISODIUM INOSINATE AND GUANYLATE, SPICE EXTRACT) LEA & PERRINS WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE (DISTILLED WHITE VINEGAR, MOLASSES, WATER, SUGAR, ANCHOVIES, ONION, TAMARIND, SALT, GARLIC, CLOVES, CHILI PEPPER EXTRACT, NATURAL FLAVOR), CELERY SALT, CELERY SEEDS, BLACK PEPPER, SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, PEPPER SAUCE (VINEGAR, AND PEPPER, SALT). CONTAINS FISH (ANCHOVIES), SOY, WHEAT, GLUTEN.
As mentioned earlier, it is not vegan due to the anchovies nor gluten-free due to the wheat + gluten ingredients.
In addition, it contains GMO soy and corn ingredients, monosodium glutamate, and preservatives.
My healthy version is made with only 7 clean, real food ingredients and has a fresh taste and the aroma of freshly juiced tomatoes.

Thank you for this beautiful post. I'm going to try to adapt it to make a smoothie. I also have never tasted a bloody Mary but this sounds really good. I liked the way you have listed the health benefits of the individual ingredients.
