Water Cooler II | Orange and Watermelon Juice Recipe

The Water Cooler II comes from the book, The Big Book of Juices: “Unbelievably light and refreshing, the watermelon takes the edge off the tangy orange”. I couldn’t agree more and I liked this one better than the Water Cooler which uses grapefruit.

This juice is a delicious, sweet drink and very enjoyable with a late afternoon snack of almonds. You can’t go wrong with this one.

You could try using less watermelon and adding some sparkling water.

 Water Cooler II

Nutrients: Beta-Carotene, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur. Get a boost of energy when drinking this wonderful fruit juice.

Juice Cleansing That Works Part I

Juice Cleansing Programs That Get Good Results

Make juicing fresh vegetable and fruit juice a part of your daily routine. Try juice cleansing (fasting) regularly and you’ll be surprised at the results you get. Some people complete a 24 to 72 hour juice cleanse once a month and some do it more often. Others will do  juice cleansing once a quarter or maybe twice a year. It’s completely up to you.

You could try one day to start with. Just 24 hours of nothing but fresh vegetable and fruit juice. If it makes sense to change the oil in you car  regularly, then doesn’t it make sense to clean out your bodily systems too? If you’re doing a 3 day cleanse, be sure to stick with it even if you feel bad after the first day. This is a common reaction to a cleanse (detox), it get’s a little worse before it gets better. A lot of people report after a day or two they feel worse, but then after that the breakthrough just comes out of nowhere. The energy returns and you feel great!

I’ll be writing more in the weeks ahead about juice cleansing and detoxing. There will be more about the specific cleanses and recipes for individual organs of the body. I’ll go over a good first juice fast (cleanse) that just about anyone can do. If you’ve never done this before a good 24 hour juice fast is the way to go. That’s how I started.

Just one day of fresh vegetable and fruit juice (let’s not forget water). That’s a confidence builder. Then we’ll move on to a 3 day cleanse.  I’m a believer in moderation. I don’t think it’s wise to go overboard at first. Start slowly and see how well you feel. You can do a big 30 day cleanse in the future, but for now, easy does it. You’ll get better results if you start out with something manageable rather then going all out and trying something you’re not mentally or physically ready for. I’m in this for the long haul, not just a quick fix.

These programs are life changing, but only if you stick with it and are consistent.

Let’s try a simple recipe to build up to our first 24 hour juice fast.

For Breakfast:

3 or 4 carrots

1 small beet

1/2 cucumber

1/2 small lemon (peeled if not organic)

1/2 in. of ginger root

1 apple

Remember to wash everything thoroughly. If you’re concerned about chemicals/pesticides you can peel the lemon and cucumber. Even the apple, but I just wash apples. However, I do peel the lemon because it’s really strong otherwise. Do it to your taste. Experiment, have fun, enjoy and we’ll visit this again next week. Thanks for reading.

Important Note: If you’re diabetic, hypoglycemic, anemic, taking medication or have any serious health problems, please consult a health professional before trying a juice fast.

If you plan on detoxing, I highly recommend you get this book!

Rocket Fuel | Carrots, Parsley, Apple Juice Recipe

Rocket Fuel, my go to favorite. I know there are a few juice recipes named Rocket Fuel, but here’s my simple and easy to make morning juice that I love because it gives me so much energy.

This Rocket Fuel juice recipe first came to me by the free juice recipe software that I use. I’ve made a couple of small modifications though. I added an apple and the quantity of carrots is also different. I want my recipes to produce enough juice for two people. Virginia (Health Juice Fanatic ‏@healthyjuicers) loves this recipe too.

Rocket Fuel by Rich

I think just about everyone I talk to about juicing loves carrots. I get asked the question about whether or not to juice the greens, and juicing the greens is fine with fresh carrots. However, when I get store (grocery) bought carrots that come in a bag, I cut the big ends off. I don’t know exactly why, but the end of those carrots just don’t look appealing to me.

Of course whether or not you juice the carrot greens is left entirely up to you. Experiment and find what works best for your taste buds!

Makes 20 ounces

• 2 lbs. of fresh carrots


• 1 handful of parsley


• 1 red apple

The flavonoids in parsley—especially luteolin—have been shown to function as antioxidants that combine with highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (called oxygen radicals) and help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells. In addition, extracts from parsley have been used in animal studies to help increase the antioxidant capacity of the blood. – whfoods.com

Kale Cucumber Apple Juice | Simple Recipes

This Kale Cucumber Apple Juice recipe is very delicious. The cucumber cuts the strong flavor of the kale and the apple sweetens it just a little.

I was pleasantly surprised when I made this recipe this morning.

Kale is a superfood. I can’t say enough about it. I never liked kale before I started juicing so this is a big plus for me.

Cucumber is a good source of B vitamins and rehydrates the body. I hear cucumber is good for hangovers. If that’s the case this should be an excellent hangover cure.

Kale Cucumber Apple Juice – My Simple Recipes

Makes 20 ounces

• 3 kale leaves


• 1 large cucumber (I peel mine, unless organic)


• 1 apple (red delicious)

Selecting Kale for Juicing

• To enjoy the health benefits of kale you should look for kale with firm, deeply colored leaves and moist and firm stems.


• When you shop for kale it should be displayed in a refrigerated environment because warm temperatures will cause it to wilt. This will negatively affect its flavor.


• Never pick leaves that look wilted for your juicing recipes. The kale leaves should not show any signs of browning nor have small holes.


• The kale with smaller-sized leaves usually is more tender and have slightly better flavor than those with larger leaves.


• To store, place kale in a plastic storage bag removing as much of the air from the bag as possible.


• You can store it in the refrigerator for for up to 5 days.


• When you are juicing kale leaves you should however note that the longer the leaves are stored, the more bitter it will taste when you juice it.


• Always shop for kale that has been grown organically.


• Rinse kale leaves under cold running water. – Juicing Benefits Toolbox

Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

Do you like sweet apples mixed with delicious pears? If so, then this Apple Pear Fruit Juice is the recipe for you.

 

Fresh Fruit: Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

This is another wonderful recipe from  The Juicing Bible with a slight alteration. Even though the recipe doesn’t specify what type of apple and pear to use, I used braeburn apples and red pears. I also left out the ginger root and I list it below as optional.

I have nothing against ginger root. It has many positive nutritional benefits, but I just don’t care for it in some recipes. My taste may change as time goes on. It certainly has over the years and I may start using ginger root more often in fruit juice recipes.

This is a pleasant morning fruit juice and fruit juice is excellent for cleansing, but it does have more sugar than green drinks. I’m careful not to drink too much pure fruit juice and I’ve found that diluting it with purified water or sparkling water is a good choice. The recipe below makes more than enough for 2 people, especially if you dilute it.

Serves 2 people

• 2 apples (braeburn)


• 2 pears (red)


• 1/2 inch piece of ginger root (optional)


• 1/2 cup grapes (red)


• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

UPDATE: Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe: Try the ginger root. It is fantastic! I use just a small piece to livin this recipe up and ginger root has so many wonderful benefits. For one, it reduces pain and inflammation, making it valuable in managing arthritis, headaches, and menstrual cramps.- 7 Health Benefits of Ginger

This is another juice recipe that comes from  The Big Book of Juices. I like making the Bright Orange juice recipe in the morning. I love it! I just naturally love to have an orange juice in the morning and the addition of a few carrots smooths out the flavor for me. How about adding a small piece of fresh ginger to it? Anyway, here’s a recipe you’re sure to love.

Bright Orange

I love how the addition of carrots to this drink really makes a beautiful orange color. The carrots do the same in another recipe I make with grapefruit. This is a nice, not to sweet, fresh, nutritious juice and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 

 

Makes 16 ounces

• 2 oranges


• 4 carrots

Why are carrots good for you? “The health benefits of carrots include reduced cholesterol, prevention from heart attacks, warding off of certain cancers, improving vision, and reducing the signs of premature aging. Furthermore, carrots have the ability to increase the health of your skin, boost the immune system, improve digestion, increase cardiovascular health, detoxify the body, and boost oral health in a variety of ways.

Reasons To Juice

What are some good reasons to juice? Without a doubt it’s good for your body. FRESH fruit and vegetable juice will give your body the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals it needs to heal, be stronger and feel better. FRESH juice contains more available nutrients and enzymes than chewed raw food.

Reasons To Juice

Phytonutrients

Here’s a reason to juice: Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables and have been proven to be beneficial to human health and help the body fight disease. Some claim they can slow the aging process by reducing the negative effects of aging. Nothing will keep you from getting older, but FRESH fruit and vegetable juice makes it easier. Phytonutrients protect you from high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, many forms of cancer, and a whole host of other illnesses. Phytonutrients also fight free radicals. Free radicals cause deterioration of our healthy cells. When we drink fresh juices with phytonutrients they will activate a group of enzymes that will go around and clean up free radicals in the body before they can do any harm. Just like antioxidants. Actually, many phytonutrients are anti-oxidant.

Carotenoids

Buy Here

Here’s another good reason to juice: Carotenoids also act like antioxidants in your body. Carotenoids provide the yellow, red and orange colors in fruits and vegetables. That’s why I always say make your meal colorful and when juicing do the same. That way you’re sure to get a balanced amount of these fabulous free radical fighters. There are many types of carotenoids: Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and lutein. They are good for your body!

People have lots of reasons to juice and new discoveries are being made constantly on the benefits of juicing and eating raw food. I would like to share them with you.

Reasons To Juice

Sweet Pear Sensation | Pear, Apple, Celery, Lemon and Ginger Juice

Wow! Here’s  a great recipe for you. The Sweet Pear Sensation  comes from The Healthy Juicer’s Bible written by Farnoosh Brock.

I love pear in my juices and this one incorporates pear nicely with apple, lemon, celery and ginger. There’s just a hint of celery flavor and ginger in this one. I use very small amounts of ginger in my recipes because I think the Omega J8004 really squeezes out the ginger remarkably well. Too much ginger can ruin a juice for me.

I hope you enjoy this very delightful juice. Try some sparkling water with this, you might be surprised.

Sweet Pear Sensation

Makes 20 ounces

• 2 small pears, any kind


• 1 medium sweet apple ( I used Red Delicious)


• 2-4 celery stalks ( I used 3)


• 1/2 lemon ( I peel mine)


• A small chunk of ginger

 

Update: The Health Benefits of Pears

1. Blood pressure: Pears have anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogen glutathione which help prevent high blood pressure and stroke.


2. Cancer prevention: The high vitamin C and copper content act as good anti-oxidants that protect cells from damages by free radicals.


3. Cholesterol: The high content of pectin in pears make it very useful in helping to lower cholesterol levels.
   
   Colon health: When not juicing, eat the pear whole for its precious fiber that are highly beneficial for your colon health.


4. Constipation: The pectin in pears is diuretic and have a mild laxative effect. Drinking pear juice regularly helps regulate bowel movements.


5. Energy: You can get quick and natural source of energy from pear juice, due largely to its high amounts of fructose and glucose.


6. Fever: The cooling effect in pear is excellent in relieving fever. Best way to bring a fever down quickly is by drinking a big glass of pear juice.

Seasonal: Green Carrot Ginger Juice | Reboot With Joe

Green Carrot Ginger Juice

Ingredients:
2″ (5 cm) of ginger root (you may add more ginger if you like)

1 medium cucumber

4 carrots

3 stalks kale (Tuscan cabbage)

1/2 pear

This recipe comes to you via the Reboot With Joe website. I love visiting his website and getting new juicing recipes. Also featured on Reboot With Joe, are people with inspirational stories. It just makes me want to juice every day and twice on Sundays.

Drinking cucumber juice helps you reach your recommended daily intake of vitamin K (Kale also has plenty of vitamin K). This vitamin helps you build strong bone tissue and nourishes your kidneys. It also plays an important role in blood clotting — it activates proteins that trigger blood coagulation, so that you can stop bleeding after suffering tissue damage. Consuming cucumber juice helps to fight the effects of vitamin K deficiency, which can include nosebleeds, bruising and bleeding gums.

Another great source of recipes is a book I have called, The Juicing Bible. It has a lot of fantastic recipes and so much good information about juicing and healthy food. It’s an awesome book and if you’re juicing regularly, it’s a must read.

I’m careful not to drink too much pure fruit juice and I’ve found that diluting it with purified water or sparkling water is a good choice. The recipe below makes more than enough for 2 people, especially if you dilute it.

Serves 2 people

• 2 apples (braeburn)


• 2 pears (red)


• 1/2 inch piece of ginger root (optional)


• 1/2 cup grapes (red)


• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

If you have a juice recipe you’d like to share with me, please contact me. I’ll be sure to give credit where credit is due. As always, thanks for reading and happy juicing!

UPDATE: Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe: Try the ginger root. It is fantastic! I use just a small piece to livin this recipe up and ginger root has so many wonderful benefits. For one, it reduces pain and inflammation, making it valuable in managing arthritis, headaches, and menstrual cramps.- 7 Health Benefits of Ginger

Fresh Fruit: Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

This is another wonderful recipe from  The Juicing Bible with a slight alteration. Even though the recipe doesn’t specify what type of apple and pear to use, I used braeburn apples and red pears. I also left out the ginger root and I list it below as optional.

Apple Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

Sweet Pear Sensation | Pear, Apple, Celery, Lemon and Ginger Juice

Wow! Here’s  a great recipe for you. The Sweet Pear Sensation  comes from The Healthy Juicer’s Bible written by Farnoosh Brock.

I love pear in my juices and this one incorporates pear nicely with apple, lemon, celery and ginger. There’s just a hint of celery flavor and ginger in this one. I use very small amounts of ginger in my recipes because I think the Omega J8004 really squeezes out the ginger remarkably well. Too much ginger can ruin a juice for me.

I hope you enjoy this very delightful juice. Try some sparkling water with this, you might be surprised.

Sweet Pear Sensation

Makes 20 ounces

• 2 small pears, any kind


• 1 medium sweet apple ( I used Red Delicious)


• 2-4 celery stalks ( I used 3)


• 1/2 lemon ( I peel mine)


• A small chunk of ginger

 

Update: The Health Benefits of Pears

1. Blood pressure: Pears have anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogen glutathione which help prevent high blood pressure and stroke.


2. Cancer prevention: The high vitamin C and copper content act as good anti-oxidants that protect cells from damages by free radicals.


3. Cholesterol: The high content of pectin in pears make it very useful in helping to lower cholesterol levels.
   
   Colon health: When not juicing, eat the pear whole for its precious fiber that are highly beneficial for your colon health.


4. Constipation: The pectin in pears is diuretic and have a mild laxative effect. Drinking pear juice regularly helps regulate bowel movements.


5. Energy: You can get quick and natural source of energy from pear juice, due largely to its high amounts of fructose and glucose.


6. Fever: The cooling effect in pear is excellent in relieving fever. Best way to bring a fever down quickly is by drinking a big glass of pear juice.
