When you juice as much as we have been lately, you start to 1) crave pizza 2) get creative.
Who doesn’t love pizza?
Okay, so before you eye roll or give me the side eye, hear me out. This is a very tasty juice – with a base of tomato and garlic flavors, a little spicy from the peppers and onions, and a surprise ingredient blended in at the end that lends a creamy bready pizza crust flavor.
Seriously.
drink your veggies pizza
serves two
4-5 roma tomatoes
2 bell peppers (yellow, orange)
1/3 yellow onion
1 bunch kale
10-15 basil leaves
1 garlic clove, peeled
small handful raw cashew pieces
Juice everything except the cashews. Pour juice into blender with cashews, blend.
This was surprisingly good. Okay, not really like a pizza, but while you are in the middle of a juice fast, it’s as close as you can get. Great flavors. Next time I’ll add some pineapple!
What’s your favorite pizza flavor?

You know I had to check this one out
of course!!
I know it will never replace YOUR pizza… and you know I HAD to try it!
I had a pizza on Friday night, whose ingredients (from flour to tomatoes to cheese to toppings) had been imported from Italy. You want to talk pizza flavour? That had it in abundance.
But I’m sure the juice version is a CLOSE second, right?
You’re awesome—don’t change!
oh my, I bet that pizza was divine! and haaa – thanks. this juice SO would NOT compare. you just got me back!!
I haven’t had pizza in SO long. I haven’t had a bad craving for it yet, thankfully, as GF pizzas are hardly worth their cost in the stores! This is an interesting combo though, I hope it helped with those cravings! I have a recipe for a grain free crust on my site (although it uses cheese), but you could try getting creative with that when the time comes to break out the pizza stone!
Mmm, I’m going to look for that grain free crust NOW!
I agree, gf crust really doesn’t stack up, but … sometimes you want pizza! (I mean, LOOK at the lengths I’ll go for the flavor!) 
Hahahaha that cracks me up. I’ll add it to the list of juices to try…if I ever open that looming box….tomorrow! Tomorrow I SWEAR!
come ON, girl. do I have to come down there and open it!?
still hoping to get to ATX soon… but you better open it before then! 
Now this sounds perfect! The basil must have been amazing in it. I love artichoke hearts on pizza too.
Mmm, I wonder what artichokes would do in a juicer…?
I am totally going to stick this recipe in mind as E and I are going on a ‘reboot’ juice fast after seeing “Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead”. This sounds awesome and a great break from the norm. Remind me again how you juice garlic? I have Breville Juice Fountain Plus.
oh, YAY Sarah! we saw that film a week into our fast – totally reinforced what we were doing!! great film. we have the same juicer – and I PEEL the garlic and just put the whole clove in… you’d think it wouldn’t “juice” but ONE clove is A LOT. it’s good! if you start juicing garlic regularly, do no more than 2 raw cloves per day!
good luck with your reboot!
I LOVE this idea. I’m a huge pizza fan (and you know how I feel about basil!).
I’m definitely making this…once I unpack my juicer
…and you know how Basil feels about you… <3 OH… you meant the herb.
hope you enjoy! XO
OOOH….this one looks soooo good! (like all your juices!) BTW…the glasses in the photo are GORGEOUS. Are they vintage? Hope you have a great week!!
thank you, Roz! I know it sounds weird to many, but it’s GOOD. and now I’m laughing – you know at the holidays, liquor stores have gift box sets, usually with glasses or some kind of accessory with the bottle of whatever? these glasses were in a Bailey’s Irish Creme gift box… very vintage, maybe 3 years ago?
This is why I love you. Because you tell us how to drink our pizza.
Any pizza involving basil or caramelized onions is amazing on my list.
YES indeed – drinking pizza is … pretty darn good!
I’m happy you appreciate it, Liz. Mmm, caramelized onions on ANYTHING. even just a fork! 
At first I was a little horrified at drinking pizza, but after looking at the photo of what is included I realized that these are some of my fave veggies. I love the idea of the cashews right at the end too!
You are the juicing queen!
hee! I know, at first many have been “HUH? spabettie’s finally gone crazy…” but then… yep. they see.
I love pizza… I love juice… but I’ve never thought of combining the two. I like pasta pizza! Hmm I have to try this!
I could totally go for this one, Kristina! I’ve added tomato juice to green smoothies the last two days. Made for a healthy V-8 Splash vibe. Thanks for this recipe, dear. LOVE the photos.
Shirley
yes, I LOVE the tomato addition lately! getting your lycopene!
I’m thinking a juicer is going on the Christmas wish list this year, this recipe sounds like something my husband would be all over. He loves pizza but always feels like crap after eating it and this would help him get the flavor he craves without the guilt.
I love pizza covered in pineapple, broccoli and tofu(when available) with whatever option to tomato sauce I can find, sometimes I get lucky and there is a really tasty pesto sauce or something full of garlic to go under the layers but sometimes I just end up with crust, cheese and toppings. Being allergic to tomatoes/pumpkin/squash/all things amazing is lame! When I feel like suffering the consequences I get one covered in sauce and artichoke hearts.
we upgraded our juicer last Christmas!
this was a fun juice – and pretty easy to “make your own pizza” too. 
and now I’m wondering what an artichoke would do in the fridge… 
Breville was finally delivered yesterday, this one will definitely be on the top of my list to try!
oh, YAY! excited for you and your new juicer – you’ll have to let me know how it’s going – I hope you like this one – it’s really tasty!
My favorite pizza used to be pineapple and jalapenos, but it’s been a while (my guy doesn’t like pineapple on pizza)….so for me add some pineapple and jalapenos to your pizza juice!!
and for the record, the next pizza I get will have pineapple and jalapenos on it! it’s just been too long
that sounds GOOD!
I did a jalapeno in a smoothie a while back – it was good, just the right amount of spicy. I am thinking of adding pineapple next time, I kinda forgot about jalapenos.
hope you’re doing great, my friend… stay away from the icky bugs!
whats next, kris? hamburger juice? burrito juice? dare I say….orange juice?
what?! orange juice? what’s that? mmm, burrito juice sounds good.
As much as I’ve juiced, I can’t say I’ve ever juiced tomatoes before! Good call though as I’m sure it’d be perfect right around this tomato- season time
I recently drank canned tomato juice on a plane and totally thought it tasted like marina sauce juice! Hehe.
yes – this sorta tastes like marinara too – in fact when I was prepping everything, Jason walked into the kitchen and asked if I was making marinara!
pizza juice!? genius!! hehe. I love this idea. I never think to put my fresh juice back in a blender, but that’s a really good idea. I really love tomatoes and peppers in juice (although at first it grossed me out), and now they are in some of my favorite juices.
During my juicing fast I had a dream about pizza one night. i woke up drooling.
haa – I had a pizza dream too, no joke! and we rarely eat it anymore after going completely gluten free. strange what cravings come up!
and YES – this juice is really good!
I’d always order a very simple vegetable pizza with just fresh tomatoes and lots of basil! No salami, no tuna (eek), no cheese (gah) – and now, not pizza anymore, either.
BUT I may make my own homme version one day, which is Kath compatible and protein-rich and maybe even vegan! 
(<< That's meant totally serious!)
I actually wonder how I could use my blender as a juicer. You know, I make almond milk with my blender, and then filter it with a sock and squeeze that with my hands to get every drop of almond milk out of it. Maybe that would work with juicing, too! It doesn't really matter whether I squeeze out almond pulp or veggie corpses. Anyway, I'll let you know hoe it works!
I really want a dehydrator next, because I have a GREAT idea for a RAW pizza… I may have to try it in my oven at like 110.
veggie corpses! 
yes, let me know how it goes with the SQUEEZING! XXO
yes. Yes! YES! Love savory juices and will have to try this one. Yum!
I hope you do try it – it’s really good!
you are so creative – I had to admit this one sounded weird to me!! I made it yesterday – pretty good!! like marinara!!
girl, you are crazy! this sounds kinda good, like a marinara?
AWWWW! is this the holly I think it is!!?? weee! and yep. you should try this. or maybe I’ll make some and bring it by… I can sneak up…
WHAAT?? pizza. I don’t even know what to say. what is your juicer?
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!! we were just joking about pizza flavored things and I said JUICE!! we googled and found you.
you are my hero.
I read about this on Sara’s blog today and HAD to come see for myself!!!
looks good, you know I will have to try it!
ha ha, awesome!!
