making juice with fresh veggies

I just can not seem to get mine to taste enjoyable I am getting it down but I'd like it to taste like v-8 or close to it w/o adding all the sodium. Any suggestions?

Apples really help with flavor. When I make mine, I use kale, spinach, carrots, apples, pineapple and blueberries...it's delicious!

Adding an apple really helps with the sweetness. So do carrots.
I don't recommend juicing celery, its supposed to be really good for you but it makes juice taste wretched.
Also, try jointhereboot.com for some great juice recipes!

OH, also avoid mixing too many fruits and veggies together, apples being the exception, because they cause horrible gas. You'll be better off doing a veggie juice and then a fruit juice.

add a little sauerkraut to the mix. watch the sodium though, but you'll only need a small amount of it

thanks for all the replys.. I would have never thought an apple as I never mix fruit with veggies. I usually use carrots,beets and boiled cabbage.. I tried adding some apple cider vinager but that made it more tart. I will try the apple next time! Oh and thx for the website on juicing.

This is not a V8 like juice but my all-time favorite is carrot/apple/parsley.

You're very welcome! I was actually doing a juice fast, or attempting to, and that site was a great help.
