MY VERY OWN V-8
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, carrots give you beta-carotene, celery supplies potassium, while spinach gives you lots of magnesium and folic acid.
All of these ingredients are present in V-8 juice… but if you’ve ever tried the store-bought vegetable juice V-8, you might have noticed how salty it tastes.
That’s because it contains a ton of sodium- about 480mg to be exact- which really isn’t that healthy after all!
This DIY version of V-8 has all the goodness of 8 servings of vegetables, without all that added salt!
- 4 large plum tomatoes
- 1 red or orange bell pepper
- 1 small beet
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 handful of raw spinach
- 1 large cucumber
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1 cup of parsley (both the leaves and the stems)
COMBINE all the ingredients and put them through your juicer SERVE chilled! (Makes 1 serving)
