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!)

Beet-Carrot-Apple Energizing Vegetable Cocktail Recipe

Beet juice is excellent liver cleanser; beets have been used naturopathically to cleanse and support the liver for many years.

Rich in vitamins and minerals that include beta carotene, zinc, vitamin C, and chromium (from the apple), it is no wonder this drink is especially energizing.

Combining it with apples and carrots, makes it even more delicious and nutrient-rich. Enjoy!

1 golden or red delicious apple, washed
5 medium carrots, scrubbed well, tops removed, ends trimmed
1 small beet with leaves and stems, scrubbed well

Making the juice:
1. Cut the apple and beet into sections to fit your juicer’s feed tube.

Juicer Recipes: Cleansing Carrot Cocktails

If possible, use organic fruits and vegetables in your juicer recipes, but if you cannot find them, or you feel they cost too much – don’t worry and just use what you have.

Remember: It is better to drink non-organic juice, than to drink no juice at all!

Here are some carrot juicer recipes to inspire you. Dandelion helps to flush toxins from the system and improves the liver function. It is recommended for the liver cleansing diet. Alternate these with green juice cocktail for best results.

A handful of dandelion leaves
1 kale leaf
4 carrots
A few basil leaves

Carrot-Apple-Dandelion Juice
4 carrots
