ketchup is much more concentrated than tomato juice, so you probably don't need
to take 8 oz of ketchup if you intend to replace tomato juice with ketchup for the same effect. Get the low carb version though... Another option is tomato puree - scoop them up with celery sticks might help. Since they're very concentrated, it might help you to get through the "8-oz" quicker because of the smaller volume... Squeeze some tomato puree into your mayo, whatever you're using your mayo for. About the tomato soup - I assume you're talking the canned kinds. Some brands taste nastier than others, so you might want to explore it a bit, invite your friends around and do a tomato soup tasting session...

It *might* be the lycopene, but they tested the whole juice, so that's what I'm drinking. The trouble is that I *hate* tomato juice. I also hate tomato soup and raw tomatoes. I like ketchup and pizza sauce well enough, but as you can imagine, it's a little hard to get the whole 8 oz that way. So my question is this: how do you make tomato juice palatable? I've been adding a little toasted sesame oil, which goes well, but does anybody have a suggestion as to how to make it better? So far, I've been just holding my nose and chugging it, then brushing my teeth. Chakolate |
