Garden Vegetable Juice
The first year I moved in with David in Vancouver, we didn’t have a Garden but we started one the following year. Ever since then, every April or early May, we plant our herbs, vegetables and fruits. Although we mostly grow the same herbs year after year, we like to change things up a little with different vegetables and fruits.
Before I met my husband to be, a juice that I was really fond of was that popular V8. It was something I enjoyed having before dinner with a few saltine crackers and a couple of slices of cheese – let’s not forget my nickname: Minnie Mouse! Since I left my single life, I never had another sip of that juice.
A few years ago, David and I ended up with a lot and I mean “a lot” of produce including tomatoes. I made my Sweet & Savory Homemade Ketchup, Classic Marina Sauce, Spicy Red Pepper Jelly, Carrot Soup, and so on. Still, the counter was loaded with produce. That is when I decided to somehow replicate my version of V8 by making this Garden Vegetable Juice!
Does it taste like a V8? No! Not at all but on the other hand I really don’t mind because I know exactly what goes into this Garden Vegetable Juice and it’s pure yumminess! The ingredients are fresh, free of pesticides and if I want to, I can make it spicy, mild or “more interesting” by adding some herbs to it.
In the video, I don’t add anything else besides the veggies (including an apple) and there’s a reason why. You can actually make this juice the way you want to by adding your own spices, herbs, and other ingredients… it’s your juice after all!
If you are like us and want to enjoy the “vegetables” of your labor, this Garden Vegetable Juice is a great healthy way to do so. It’s very quick and easy to make as long as you own a juicer…
