Notes

Use this recipe as a starting guide for your own fresh veggie juice, but feel free to experiment with other vegetables based on your taste preferences, what's in your fridge, and what veggies are in season.
Adjust the spice as needed! With 4 slices of jalapeño, this had a nice spicy zip to it, but feel free to adjust the amount based upon your own taste.
