Apple Blues | Apple and Blueberry Juice Recipe

Apple Blues is a delicious fruit juice recipe that I got from The Big Book of Juices. This is quickly becoming my favorite book for recipes.


Apple Blues is so simple, combining the sweet flavor of apples with the nutritious benefit of blueberries. And, who doesn’t like blueberries?

I made this juice in the morning for us to have with a light breakfast (other fruit and almonds). I was pleasantly surprised by the sweetness of this juice and the fiber. I’m using my Omega J8004 juicer with most of these recipes and this juice has some fiber to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our little breakfast together and especially Apple Blues, which brightened our morning.


 Makes 20 ounces


  • 3 apples

  • 2 large handfuls of blueberries
