Introduction

A Simpler V8

In the end, I achieved the same taste of V8 with just five vegetables, and since I don't have a garden in my backyard, the smaller amount of vegetables means I'm that much more likely to make it. So, technically, this is V5 juice, but your taste buds won't know. A Simpler V8

    1 tbsp Annie's Naturals Organic Worcestershire Sauce
    1/2 tsp Salt

Tips

Recipe Notes
•This recipe is really versatile — play with it! Try adding other vegetables, particularly greens or herbs. My two favorite add-ins (separately) were cayenne and mint. The cayenne adds the perfect kick, and mint put a fresh, light spin on traditional V8.
•Recipe keeps for about a week, refrigerated. It will separate, so shake well before serving!


Directions

Combine the tomatoes, carrots, beet, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Let simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the spinach and parsley and simmer for another five minutes, keeping the pan covered. Remove from heat and let cool for ten minutes. Pour in blender, add remaining 1/2 cup of water, and purée until smooth — about two minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve chilled.
