The everyday experts in the ThriftyFun community share their favorite recipes for vegetable juice beverages.
Celery Superfood JuiceThis juice is so simple, so good for your health and such a beautiful green color! Understandably it has been quite the rave lately too, what with it's benefits of lower blood sugar, cholesterol. It also help boost the immune system and weight loss. It's a natural electrolyte that contains vitamin K, vitamin A, B9 and many more. It's recommended to drink 16 oz everyday but if your just starting out like I am I would start with half a cup.
Cleansing Veggie Date JuiceI especially like making this juice after the holidays as I tend to indulge a bit more. Just a bit! This drink is very low in calories yet very filling. It's full of vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants. Keep the "meat" of the veggies after juicing them to make cakes and spaghetti sauces. In order to keep the drink tasting fun and almost caramel-like, I like to blitz in some dates. Nothing bad in this juice!
Homemade V-8 Juice Recipes?If you own a juicer it can be easy to turn your extra veggies into a delicious tomato based juice like V-8. You can also make it with tomato juice. This page contains homemade V-8 juice recipes.
Fresh Aloe DrinkUsing your blender you can make a refreshing drink from whole aloe vera. This page contains fresh aloe drink.
Potato and Beet JuiceIf prepared correctly potato juice has a lot of health benefits but is not delicious on its own. Add beets and apples to improve the flavor of the potatoes. This page contains recipes for potato and beet juice.
Mix Your Own Vegetable JuiceIf you like to sip at something during the day or prefer a light, between-meals snack, vegetable juice is an excellent option, hot or cold. Staying hydrated isn't always easy, and eating the recommended amount of vegetables every day can be challenging. Vegetable juice is a good solution, cold from the fridge or heated in a mug.
Recipes Using Soy Milk?Although milk made from soy doesn't taste just like cow's milk, it can be used as a thrifty substitute for dairy free recipes. This page contains recipes using soy milk.
Make Your Own V8?Does anyone know how to make your own V8. I have a bunch of canned tomato juice and I want to make it into a V8 style beverage for my dad. Doesn't have to be quite as salty, though.
