Fresh V8 Juice

If you have ever glanced at the nutrition label of V8 juice, I hope the sodium content jumped out! Long ago I thought V8 juice was great and even patted myself on the back for drinking so many vegetables... DUMB (I can blame it on age, 18 = naive). Well, I still like the taste of fresh vegetables plus a little spice. So, I went on a V8 recipe search and here are my two favorites so far.

Recipe One

• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 handful spinach
• 2 carrots
• 1/4 sweet onion
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 1-2 shots hot sauce

Recipe Two

• 3 tomatoes
• 6 carrots
• 3 stalks celery
• handful of spinach leaves
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 small beet
• 1/4 head cabbage
• 1/4 onion
• 1 jalapeno
• 1/4 to 1/2 garlic (very strong)

      If you want it to taste more like store bought V8, replace    

      the fresh tomatoes with canned tomato sauce.
