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!)
