the honey really makes this recipe! i wouldn't substitute a different sweetener, because it's not generic sweetness but a the distinct honey flavor that makes this smoothie. the lemon really helps cut the edge of that papaya funk. this has an opulent, full-bodied flavor- a golden, summery nectar :)

My seven year old declared that this base "tastes like soup" - and he's right. It tastes very much like bouillon and will provide much needed sodium to your daily intake. This juice can stand alone or be used as a base in savory juice combinations. This makes enough for 2 days worth of Savory Juice Base. See my Juice Yields page to estimate how much produce you'll need. Because this has tomato in it, count half the volume of this toward Green Juices and half toward Colored Juices if juice feasting.
