Sounds good but homemade should have a lot less Na. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Jul 25, 2012, at 19:04, airlinerg <airlinerg@...> wrote:

Here is a link for a recipe for home-juiced V8 juice. For no sodium, omit the

sea salt and use Mrs. Dash or Trader Joe's 21 Salute or some other seasoning

instead. I'm not a big juicer, but a friend is a juicing fiend and has started

making batches of juice for me. After a lot of investigation about juicers, he

found that the best juicer on the market is the Breville. It's pricey, but it's

powerful, doesn't clog, doesn't over heat and lasts a long time.

This homemade version tastes infinitely better than anything store bought. I

HATE V8 juice, but this stuff is actually good. Go easy on the chilis.
