V10 Vegetable Juice

Making your own V8 Vegetable Juice is so empowering! We call it V10 as we added a couple extra vegetables. Simply blend, heat and drink hot (our favorite) or cold. Delicious, incredibly healing, cleansing and nutritious. We cannot get enough and will even drink it for breakfast. My husband is such a humongous fan even preferring it to a can of V8. You literally drink an entire blender full of vegetables. Spinach, parsley, celery, onion, garlic, beet, carrot, tomatoes, lime and bell pepper are combined together harmoniously. We leave the pulp for added health but straining yields perfect juice-like results, both are wonderful. 

V10 Vegetable Juice is: 

• ​High in Vitamins & Minerals

• An Energy & Mood Booster!
• Heart Healthy
• Good at Increasing Blood Flow & Circulation
• Good at Decreasing Inflammation

Enjoy the life-affirming health benefits! With lots of Love & Light, Christa

​Directions:

1. Combine 1/2 of the ingredients in your blender. Blend on Soup Setting, 90 seconds on high.
