Fresh RAW V8 Juice Recipe
Many people shun away from eating vegetables, especially the children.
It is alarming to know that most chronic illnesses today are caused by improper diet. But simply saying “eat more vegetables” is not enough. One thing that you can do is to make vegetable juice every day or a couple of times a week. Juices are popular among children, and they especially love the sweet taste of fruit juice. However, that is not to say that they cannot develop a taste for more savory combinations.
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 like a more tangy taste, add some chili pepper and/or salt (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)
This recipe is for raw juice, with all the ingredients in their raw state – with all the live enzymes and nutrients. However, because it’s all-raw, it will taste differently from the “real thing”. The reason being the real V8 is cooked plus has some other added ingredients to make it taste certain way.
If you are looking for a taste more resembling the store-bought recipe, you can optionally substitute half or all of your tomatoes with either stewed tomatoes or tomato sauce for pasta (thanks Evan for the tip!)

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!

Thanks for the recipe! This one is definitely far better and healthier compared to the commercially prepared ones because its all natural! I really do appreciate it that this time, I can even make some adjustments to the recipe to make it my own, and I will enjoy it more! Thanks again.

How many servings does this make?
Just baught my juicer on Saturday.I just love it.Been making some fruit juices,that taste auesome and guess what no added sugars.I’am going to make some v8 juice next,can’t have salt so this machine will be a great benifet for me and my family.
I was hoping this juice would be close to V8 but unfortunately it was very sweet and ultimately fell short of my expectations, it was still good but not the right fit for me.
I made this juice almost exactly but!! I keep having problems with the tomatoes! They make the juice mealy and sweet. I want the full flavor that I get from actual V8 but, can’t get it right. Could it be the kind of tomato I’m using? V8 tastws like cooked tomatoes, not fresh ones…..am I imagining this?
This recipe is title “raw V8 juice”. Because it’s raw, and real V8 is cooked with some other added stuff, it doesn’t taste the same. But of course, it’s healthier if you use raw ingredients. Optionally you can substitute half or all of your tomatoes with either stewed tomatoes or tomato sauce for pasta.
Thank you Evan for your tip. I will modify the post to include your suggestion.
This recipe is identical to the one in the Champion Juicer manual. Haven’t tried it yet but hope to. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the recipe to get it to taste like a commercial product. Also, just because I’m a picky English major, you would say that people shun something, not “shun away” something.
This makes 5 1/2 cups of sweet juice, so be ready with a second jug to hold that volume. If you like it sweet, this works. I prefer the cooked & salty V8 flavor, so it’s back to the kitchen for me.
