  • Remove from heat and transfer to a blender.
  • Add parsley and 1 cucumber.
  • Pulse 2-3 times just to break up the chunks of vegetables remaining. The consistency should be like a thick, chunk soup at this point.

PETE'S V-8 VEGETABLE JUICE



Pete's V-8 Vegetable Juice image

This is a friend's home canned version of V-8 that we love. Use it for a pick me up or a great bloody mary. The vegetables can be altered to taste. You could add horseradish if you like. We personally don't add the leak and modify the allspice to 1/2 tsp for the whole batch instead of per quart as Pete did.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 140 g, Fat 1 g, Protein 5 g, Sodium 401 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables for your juice. Some vegetables, like carrots and celery, are more nutritious than others. Dark leafy greens, like spinach and kale, are also a good addition to vegetable juice.
  • Wash the vegetables thoroughly before juicing them. This will remove any dirt, pesticides, or other contaminants.
  • Use a juicer that is specifically designed for juicing vegetables. A good juicer will be able to extract the maximum amount of juice from the vegetables.
  • Drink the juice fresh. Vegetable juice is most nutritious when it is fresh. If you want to store the juice, do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add other ingredients to your juice for flavor. You can add fruits, herbs, or spices to your juice to make it more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Vegetable juice is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vegetable juice can also help to boost your immune system, improve your digestion, and reduce your risk of chronic diseases. If you are looking for a healthy and refreshing way to improve your health, vegetable juice is a great option.
