If you like V8 juice, you are certainly not alone. Unfortunately, the stuff that you buy in the supermarket in cans and plastic bottles is loaded with salt and is certainly not freshly made, which means it has the live enzymes and a lot of other nutrients cooked right out of it.
However, you can make your own version of V8 by experimenting with the following recipe:
Fresh Raw V8 Juice Recipe
Juice all the vegetables using your juicer, and enjoy as is, chilled, or with ice. If you must, add some chili pepper and/or salt to taste (optional).
3 large tomatoes
3 stalks celery
5 carrots (medium sized)
1 small beet
1/4 head fresh cabbage
1-2 bell pepper (red or green, or both)
2 cups spinach
2-3 kale leaves
1/4 sweet onion
1/2 clove garlic (optional)

Wonderful site. Have my own recipe for homemade juiced V8 and it’s almost identical to yours. I like to throw in a dab of worcheshire sauce for some kick - but not too much because of the salt content. A friend of mine throws Humus into every juice he makes, and apparently that gives a V8 a nice kick also, but I’ve not been brave enough to try it yet. lol!
Great site. You’re in my reader now. Cheers and happy juicing!
