Whether you’re just getting started with juicing or are looking for new recipes to try, here are the very best healthy juicing recipes. Happy Juicing! A Very Blueberry Morning Servings: 1 Juicing doesn’t always have to be done in a juicer. Sometimes you can use your high speed blender to completely pulverize the ingredients, creating a juice. Don’t skimp on freshly squeezing all of your juices when called for because it is a lot healthier. Store bought juice, regardless if it is from concentrate or not is always pasteurized. Pasteurization, while great for mass production to keep people from getting sick removes a lot of benefits and beneficial gut bacteria from the food. With this recipe you get the goodness of both orange juice and blueberries. You’re going to benefit from the fiber too which is good for the morning to help your body accept a sweet juice without sugar overload. Orange juice has lots of vitamin C. Oranges are also cancer preventing due to the citrus limuloids which have been proven to help fight skin cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer and even colon cancer. Ingredients: 2 Cups Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice 1 Cup Fresh, Filtered Cold Water 1 Cup Organic Blueberries
Instructions: 1) First, using a citrus juicer; juice two cups of fresh squeezed orange juice. This could be 1 to 4 oranges depending on how juicy they are and their size. In this recipe it is okay to use as much pulp as you want because you are actually going to blend this juice. This will allow you to retain the benefits of the pulp and fiber. 2) Using a high speed blender, place all the ingredients in the blender in the order listed above under ingredients. Blend on high until smooth. You can now pour it through a strainer if you like, but in this case, keeping the pulp will make a better morning juice that includes fiber to help the sugar digest slower, keeping you feeling full longer. This recipe makes about 32 ounces of juice. That might seem like a lot for one person. If you are enjoying it for the purposes of having a morning juice, you can share it. But if you are enjoying a juice feast, drink it all yourself. It will give you a really great, energetic start to your day.
Bodacious Berry Juice Explosion 1 Serving Nothing looks as delicious or tastes as good as a berry based juice. Berries are very beneficial to your health and are low on the glycemic scale. Technically strawberries and blackberries aren’t considered true berries but they add something special to this juice that can’t be skipped. All of these ingredients are packed with folate, vitamin C, antioxidants and more. Every ingredient in berries is good for you, even the sugar. Natural, unprocessed sugar from berries isn’t known to spike blood sugar levels. Ingredients: 1 Cup Blueberries 1 Cup Strawberries 1 Cup Raspberries 1 Cup Blackberries 1 Cup Grapes 2 Fuji Apples Instructions: Run all berries through the juicer in the order listed with the apples last. Serve in a chilled glass and enjoy. To make this super healthy, although it will change the color slightly, you can make this into a green juice by adding a handful of kale.
Carotenoid Cocktail 1 Serving Carotenoids are known cancer fighters. The kale is rich in lutein, the tomato lycopene, and the sweet potatoes are full of beta-carotene. This juice packs a carotenoid punch that can’t be beat. If you’re fighting illness or a cold, try one of these babies. Ingredients: 1 Handful of Kale 1 Medium Sweet Potato, washed, peeled & quarters 1 Medium Tomato, whole 1 Fuji Apple, seeded 2 Stalks Celery 1 Garlic Clove Instructions: Run through juicer in order listed. This juice is savory and delicious with just the right amount of sweet to balance out the kale. Note: If you have a high powered blender that makes hot soup you can juice the apple and add to your blender, then add the rest of the ingredients into the blender to make a hot tomato like soup that can cure whatever ails you.
Cucumber Curiosity 1 Serving There are a lot of health benefits to eating both cucumbers and beets. Cucumbers are very high in liquid content, and are high in vitamin B. If you need energy, instead of running for something with caffeine, drink some cucumber juice. Cucumbers have something called lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol – say that three times real fast – these important ingredients are known cancer preventatives that are actually extracted and studied in labs. It’s also an excellent digestive aid and anti-inflammatory. Beets are powerhouses in their own right. Their bright color reveals a high concentration of iron and B vitamins. This is important because to properly process iron you need the right B vitamins. Beets are especially good for pregnant women due to this powerful combination. Ingredients: 2 Cucumbers, washed 2 Beets, washed well Instructions: Run the ingredients through your juicer as instructed for the type of juicer you own. It’s best if you alternate with 1 beet, then 1 cucumber – repeating until done. This will ensure that you get the most out of the ingredients and your juicer. Cucumbers have a lot of juice and will ensure that all the beet juice is washed from your juicer. There is no need to worry about peeling or preparing your vegetables. For this juice, you simply need to wash them well. You can even leave the beet greens on to make an even healthier juice.
Delicious “V12” Juice 4 Servings Each of the ingredients has excellent benefits on their own/ Put together it’s a power packed concoction that can help protect you from illness, make you feel more energetic, and even make you smarter. Give it a try, even if you’re skeptical. You’re going to love it. Ingredients: 2 Kale Leaves, washed 2 Cups Baby Spinach, washed 6 to 8 Large Carrots, peeled, washed, ends cut off 6 to 8 Carrot Greens, washed saved from above (optional) 4 Large Tomatoes 1 Small Beet, washed 1/2 Head Red Cabbage 2 Red Bell Peppers, seeded & washed 2 Yellow Bell Peppers, seeded & washed 1 to 2 Habanero Peppers, seeded & washed 1/2 Sweet Onion, peeled & washed 4 Large Whole Celery Stalks, washed
Instructions: In the order listed, run the ingredients through your juicer. The juice will taste belter if everything is cold to start with. Due to that, you might want to prepare everything in advance, pop it back in the fridge, and then take it out when you are ready to juice. The reason you should juice in the order listed is that juicing the leaf of produce like kale and spinach can be more difficult with a juicer not made specifically for these items. This order ensures that you get the most juice out of each ingredient. This recipe makes about 4 cups of juice depending on the freshness of your ingredients. It makes a great lunch or dinner recipe if you’re on a juice feast, or two to four servings to just enjoy as a snack. You can even turn around and put this in your high speed blender with some spices and make a very healthy warm version that is reminiscent of tomato soup. Variations: Add some more heat with jalapenos or other peppers. Salt the rim of your glass and add a celery stalk for a fun presentation. No one said juicing has to be boring. Delightfully Delicious 1 Serving Many ingredients, such as herbs are often overlooked when making juice. But herbs like cilantro and parsley can also be juiced with great results. These herbs offer amazing health benefits. By juicing them, you can get more of their health benefits due to using a larger quantity.
Cilantro, for instance, is a powerhouse of vitamin A, C and protein. It also has a good amount of folate, potassium, manganese, choline, lutein, zeaxanthin and beta- carotene. Parsley is an immunity booster and can help flush toxins from your body. It’s also high in folic acid which is really good for heart health. This juice is not only delicious, but it’s delightfully healthy too. Ingredients: 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley 3 Cups Romaine Lettuce, washed & dried 2 Large Cucumbers, washed 1/2 Lime, peeled & seeded Instructions: Run the cilantro, parsley and lettuce through the juicer first. Next, run the cucumbers through the juicer followed by the lime last. Stir and serve immediately. Variations: If you do not like cilantro, you’re not going to suddenly like it in a juice. You can skip the cilantro and replace it with something else you like such as Italian flat leaf parsley or basil or if you feel especially creative try a little mint leaf.
Festively Fall Juice 1 Serving You really don’t have to wait until fall to enjoy this juice. All these ingredients are available year round. But, if it is fall, you’ll get the extra benefit of recently grown, local ingredients, or fresh from your garden ingredients to make this juice really deliver. You may not realize that you can juice sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes, like carrots, are root vegetables and are perfectly fine to juice. Sweet potatoes taste really good juiced and produces a lot more juice than you might think. The benefits of juicing sweet potatoes are that the juice is full of good things such as phytochemicals that are known to boost immunity to illnesses such as cancer, the common cold, and an added benefit is that it’s great for your skin too. Ingredients: 1 Medium Sweet Potato, washed, peeled & quartered 2 Medium Carrots, washed, peeled, top & bottom cut off 1 Large Orange Bell Pepper, washed, seeded & quartered 2 Large Celery Stalks, washed, tops included 1 inch sliver Ginger Instructions: Run all the ingredients through the juicer in the order listed. Pour into a festive glass and serve. Juicing tip: If you put all the ingredients in the refrigerator first, your juice will be nice and cold so you can enjoy it immediately. All fresh juice is best drank within the first 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that the juice doesn’t oxidize and start breaking down due to the high amount of digestive enzymes in fresh unpasteurized juice.
Green Juice 1 Serving Many people balk at the idea of drinking green juice. But then, many who try often overdo it on the greens at first. It takes your body and taste buds a little while to get used to green juices. This is a great starter green juice to try for the fearful. Apples provide sweetness, while the romaine lettuce provides a gentle way to get in your greens for the day. If you like it, you can double the lettuce for an even more healthy green juice. It’s important to try to get in about 1 to 2 pounds of greens per day and this might be the answer you were looking for. As far as health benefits, apples are full of important vitamins and minerals that we all need for health such as zinc. Many people suffer from zinc deficiencies without even knowing it and eating green apples will help lower this chance substantially. The really interesting thing about green apples in particular is that they are more likely to be grown close to you than the red delicious variety so the environmental impact is lower, as are the pesticides needed to grow them.
Ingredients: 3 Cups Romaine Lettuce, washed, spun dry 3 Green Apples, washed, seeded Instructions: It’s important to start with dried lettuce to ensure that you can get it into your juicer properly while extracting the most juice. Ball up the lettuce tightly and feed it through your juicer, then follow up with the green apples. This juice is delicious and counts as a green juice due to the lettuce, but doesn’t taste strong like a green juice made with kale or spinach because lettuce is mild and the sweetness of the apples helps the green go down. Variations: You can use any type of lettuce or other greens that you want when making this green juice but you’ll get more nutrition if you avoid iceberg lettuce. Pink Passion 1 Serving Not only is it healthy, but it is also fun to drink colorful juices. Serve this amazing juice in a special frosted glass to celebrate the bounty and goodness of nature.
This juice not only looks beautiful, but it tastes good. Some people are nervous about juicing cabbage but it tastes sweet and delicious, especially with this combination. Plus, raw cabbage juice is great for tummy troubles and has been shown to help cure ulcers as well as drastically improve digestion. In addition, due to the carrots, this juice is high in beta-carotenes; making it more cancer preventative in nature. The more red and orange colors your juices include, the more cancer preventative your juice becomes and this juice is certainly loaded with the right colors. Beets are super beneficial and healthy, especially as a juice. People who dislike cooked beets should still give juiced beets a try. The flavor is earthy and needs something sweet with it. For each small beet, add a complementary sweet juice such as an apple to sweeten things up a bit. Ingredients: 1 cup purple cabbage 1 red apple, washed & seeded 1 small red beet, washed well 6 carrots, washed, peeled with ends cut off 1/2 lemon, seeded & peeled Instructions: Run ingredients through the juicer in the order listed. Stir and serve immediately for the best results and full tummy curing enzyme action offered by the purple cabbage Variations: Try a different color of carrots, like purple or red, to make this juice really pop. A small note about beet juice: You don’t need much, and it can color your bowel movements.
Simple Start Orange Glow 1 Serving It’s amazing how simple can be so delicious. Carrots and oranges make a wonderfully sweet and tasty juice. You might be surprised at how much juice you can get out of a carrot. Trust me, it’s a lot. We all know the benefits of oranges which are packed with vitamin C and can help prevent and heal colds faster. But carrots are also very helpful in fighting sickness and boosting immunity with their high beta-carotene content. Carrots are also packed with vitamin A, which aids in tissue and bone development. Vitamin A is also very beneficial to vision. If you have issues with night vision, try juicing a few carrots each day and see if your vision improves. Juicing is one of the best ways to get enough of this important nutrient. This juice combo really packs a wallop against illness. Drink it often as a preventative measure; drink it when you’re sick as a way to get well faster.
Ingredients: 2 Oranges, peeled, seeded 10 Carrots, peeled, washed, ends cut off Instructions: Run the peeled and seeded oranges through your juicer first, and then run through the 10 carrots. How much this juice makes will depend on the size of your carrots and the juiciness and size of your oranges so feel free to add more or less to make the serving of this juice the right size for you. Stir before enjoying. Note: There really is no law that says you have to peel carrots, but it does help make the juice a brighter orange color. If you don’t mind your juice turning a funny color, try leaving the greens on the top of your carrot to make this into a green juice.

Benefits of Juicing
There are three main reasons why you will want to consider incorporating
vegetable juicing into your optimal health program:
1.Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is
important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of
making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your
body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will
help to "pre-digest" them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition,
rather than having it go down the toilet.
2. Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an
efficient manner. If you are a carb type, you should eat one pound of raw
vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some people may
find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it
3. can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.
4.You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people
eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of
regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy
to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of
vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.Vegetable Juice is Not a Complete Meal It is important to note that vegetable juice has very little protein and virtually no fat, so by itself, it is not really a complete food. It really should be used in addition to your regular meals not in place of it. So unless you are undergoing some special fasting or detoxification program, it is probably unwise to use juicing as a meal replacement. Ideally, it can be consumed with your meal or as a between meal snack. Important to Listen to Your Body This is partly because you should only start by juicing vegetables that you enjoy eating non-juiced. The juice should taste pleasant -- not make you feel nauseous. It is very important to listen to your body when juicing. Your stomach should feel good all morning long. If it is churning or growling or generally making its presence known, you probably juiced something you should not be eating. Personally, I've noticed that I can't juice large amounts of cabbage, but if I spread it out, I do fine.
Here are a few simple lessons to get you up and help you enjoy the benefits of juicing quickly: Lesson 1: Use pesticide free veggies. It is wise to choose organic whenever possible. However, some vegetables are worse than others. Below are the vegetables that are the most pesticide-loaded ones according to the Environmental Working Group. So it would be wise to only purchase these vegetables if they are organically grown. The worst ones are listed first. 1. Celery 2. Spinach 3. Kale 4. Collard Greens 5. Lettuce 6. Carrots 7. Cucumber (not as bad if you peel the skin) Lesson 2: Get ready to juice! Please note that the order listed below is only intended for those that are new to juicing so you do have a pleasant experience with it. However, if you use ¼ to ½ lemon or lime, you can start experimenting with the more bitter greens early on as the lemon and lime effectively counter their bitterness.
Please note that it would be FAR better to use lemon or limes than carrots, beets or apples, which have far more fructose than lemons or limes. Step 1: If you are new to juicing, I recommend starting out with these vegetables, as they are the easiest to digest and tolerate: Celery Fennel (anise) Cucumbers These three aren't as nutrient dense as the dark green leafy vegetables In the few days to weeks it takes you to adjust to the 3 vegetables listed above, you can start adding the more nutritionally valuable but less palatable vegetables into your juice. Step 2: When you've acclimatized yourself to juicing, you can start adding these vegetables: Red leaf lettuce Green leaf lettuce Romaine lettuce Endive Escarole Spinach An interesting side note: Cabbage juice is one of the most healing nutrients for ulcer repair as it is a huge source of vitamin U.
Step 3: When you're ready, move on to adding herbs to your juicing. Herbs also make wonderful combinations, and here are two that work exceptionally well: Parsley Cilantro You need to be cautious with cilantro, as many cannot tolerate it well. So start off with a few sprigs and work your way up from there. You can use a few tablespoons if you have no side effects and enjoy the taste. If you are new to juicing, hold off on the cilantro. Herbs are more challenging to consume, but they are highly beneficial. Step 4: The last step. The greens listed below are bitter: so start with smaller leaves at a time and be sure and balance it out with lime or lemon. Kale Collard Greens Dandelion Greens Mustard Greens (bitter) When purchasing collard greens, find a store that sells the leaves still attached to the main stalk. If they are cut off, the vegetable rapidly loses many of its valuable nutrients.
Lesson 3: Make your juice taste great.
If you would like to make your juice taste a bit more palatable, especially in the
beginning, you can add these elements:
Lemons and Limes: You can also add one half to a whole lime or lemon
for every quart of juice. You can actually juice the skin if you want to
avoid the hassle of peeling them
Cranberries: You can also add some cranberries if you enjoy them.
Researchers have discovered that cranberries have five times the
antioxidant content of broccoli, which means they may protect against
cancer, stroke and heart disease. In addition, they are chock-full of
phytonutrients, and can help women avoid urinary tract infections. Limit
the cranberries to about 4 ounces per pint of juice.
Fresh ginger: This is an excellent addition if you enjoy the taste. It gives
your juice a little "kick"! And, as an added boon, researchers have found
that ginger can have dramatic effects on cardiovascular health,
including preventing atherosclerosis, lowering cholesterol levels, and
preventing the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL).
Lesson 4: Drink your vegetable juice right away, or
store it very carefully.
Juicing is a time-consuming process, so you'll probably be thinking to yourself, "I
wonder if I can juice first thing in the morning, and then drink it later?" This is not a
good idea. Vegetable juice is HIGHLY perishable so it's best to drink all of your
juice immediately. However, if you're careful, you can store it for up to 24 hours
with only moderate nutritional decline. This is really helpful if you are bringing
your juice to work with you so you can consume it during the day. How to store
your juice:
Put your juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and fill it to the very top.
There should be a minimum amount of air in the jar as the oxygen in air
(air is about 20 percent oxygen) will "oxidize" and damage the juice.
Purchase a food vacuum pump like Food Saver with a Ball jar
attachment. You can pour your juice into a pint jar and put the lid on and
use the Food Saver to suck out the air in the jar to vacuum pack it. This will
remove most of the oxygen that will damage the juice.
Immediately store it in the fridge and consume it when you are ready. It
is best to drink it as soon as possible and in any case within 24 hours of
juicing.
Most people juice in the morning, but if that does not work out well for your
schedule, please feel free to choose whatever meal works best for your lifestyle.
Lesson 5: Clean your juicer properly.
We all know that if a juicer takes longer than a few minutes to clean, we'll find
excuses not to juice at all. I find that using an old toothbrush works well to clean
any metal grater. If you buy a high-quality juicer, the whole process should only
take about 5 minutes. I find that using an old toothbrush works well on the metal grater.
Whatever you do, you need to clean your juicer immediately after you juice to prevent any
remnants from contaminating the juicer with mold growth.
Juicing for health provides vital nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and
minerals for our bodies to repair themselves, strengthen the immune
system and for cell regeneration and growth.
Normally we do not consume peelings, seeds and pits of fruits and
vegetables. These parts are a rich source of vital nutrients we normally
throw away. A good quality juicer extracts juice from the whole veggie or
fruit, including peelings, pits and seeds to provide vitamin and minerals
that would otherwise be lost.
Heat kills live enzymes. A quality juicer minimizes heat in order to preserve
the most live enzymes possible.
Using a good quality juicer will cause the least amount of foaming in
the juice. Foam is indicative of oxidation of the juice which lowers the
antioxidant benefit. Less foam equals more antioxidant benefit.
Juice is an excellent snack or meal replacement that is very filling.
Many dieters claim that juices assist them to lose pounds with no hunger.
The antioxidant effects of juices will help detoxify your body and help
you eliminate the toxins, fats, preservatives and chemicals that a diet of
processed foods leave behind in your body.
Increased energy and mood uplift are collateral benefits of juicing. As
your body becomes detoxified and cleansed it will be more able to
access and utilize restorative and sustaining nutrients which most likely will
make you feel better in general. When you feel better you are more
energized and happier.
The most readily digestible or absorbable form of foods, not to mention
the most concentrated form, is juice. Juicing makes foods easy to digest
and thus, easier for the body to receive maximum benefit from the source
food. Making your own juices allows you to make any combination of
fruits or vegetables that you choose into juice and you know what in it.
