Homemade V8 Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium tomatoes

• 1/2 cup celery, chopped

• 1/2 cup carrots, chopped

• 1/2 cup cucumber, chopped

• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped

• 1/4 cup spinach or kale (optional for extra greens)

• 1/2 lemon (juiced)

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1-2 dashes of hot sauce (optional for a bit of spice)

• Water (or vegetable broth) as needed for desired consistency

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop all the vegetables. If you are using spinach or kale, wash and chop those too.

2. Blend the ingredients: Place the tomatoes, celery, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, spinach (if using), lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) into a blender or food processor.

3. Blend until smooth: Blend until everything is smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of water or vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency.

4. Strain (optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, you can strain it using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any pulp.

5. Taste and adjust: Taste the juice and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or hot sauce if needed.

6. Serve: Pour into glasses and serve chilled. You can garnish with a celery stalk or a slice of lemon if you like.
