Why can't i get my vegetable juice to taste good?

I love v-8 juice but i wanted to make it myself for the health benefits but i just can't get the right combination of veggies and it tastes horrible. I added apple to sweeten but it still didn't help. Can you suggest a good combo??
From Sara:
I suspect you are juicing your greens using a centrifugal juicer which will not give you a good taste as only the water content from the vegetable juice is produced. It will taste like eating grass, which isn't very pleasant.
If you use a gear juicer, most of your green juices will taste very good as the enzymes and nutrients are also being extracted.
Some suggestion on ingredients you can use to make a delicious green juice are: cucumber for its water content, celery for its salty flavor, carrot for its sweetness, green apple for its good enzymes, spinach, lemon for its lemony taste.
There are many other ingredients you can use and you are only limited by your imagination. Here's a list to help you.
