Quick and Dirty Flu Fighter | Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, Apple and Ginger Fruit Juice

Spring Cleanse Vegetable Juice with Asparagus, Cucumber and Tomato

Here’s a spring cleanse vegetable juice recipe. This one is good all year round.

This is an interesting recipe, because I’ve never juiced asparagus. Steamed asparagus is delicious and I have always loved cold cooked asparagus on salads, so juicing them should be good too. I had to try it.

Asparagus is a natural diuretic, which helps flush toxins from the body and cleanse the kidney.

I liked this recipe and it’s especially good over ice. I used a very large tomato and cucumber and could definitely taste them. Just a hint of lemon and a little asparagus flavor. Good vegetable juice! Try it if you like asparagus as I do.

Spring Cleanse Vegetable Juice Recipe

The Spring Cleanse Vegetable Juice comes from  – Juicing, Fasting, and Detoxing for Life: Unleash the Healing Power of Fresh Juices and Cleansing Diets. In the book it’s on page 291.

Makes 20+ ounces

• 1 cucumber, peeled


• 1 vine-ripened tomato


• 8 asparagus stalks


• 1/2 lemon peeled

Asparagus is a brain booster: Another anti-aging property of this delicious spring veggie is that it may help our brains fight cognitive decline. Like leafy greens, asparagus delivers folate, which works with vitamin B12—found in fish, poultry, meat and dairy—to help prevent cognitive impairment. In a study from Tufts University, older adults with healthy levels of folate and B12 performed better on a test of response speed and mental flexibility. (If you’re 50-plus, be sure you’re getting enough B12: your ability to absorb it decreases with age.) Asparagus is packed with antioxidants: It’s one of the top ranked fruits and vegetables for its ability to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals. This, according to preliminary research, may help slow the aging process.  – Eatingwell.com

Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe

When I made my Apple Fresh Fruit Juice I used granny smith apples and the best red grapes I could find. This fresh fruit juice is absolutely delicious, but tart (sharp). Over ice it’s an excellent, refreshing morning drink to sip on and definitely a “wake me up” juice. If you prefer something sweeter, use a sweeter apple. As is, this is an awesome fruit juice and very easy to make. See below.

Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe

The Apple Fresh recipe comes from the book,  The Juicing Bible. This is a wonderful book and has many delicious recipes for juicing as well as smoothies. In addition it has an abundance of useful information on health conditions and healthy foods. I highly recommend this book.

The Apple Fresh Fruit Juice Recipe I show here has a slight modification. I used granny smith apples and I didn’t use the powdered ginseng as mentioned in The Juicing Bible. Maybe I’ll try the powdered ginseng (1/2 tsp.) the next time.

The recipe from The Juicing Bible isn’t specific regarding the apples. Granny smith apples are lower in sugar content and that’s why I try to use them. It’s a tangy taste too! For myself I love all apples. I mix them up sometimes and enjoy experimenting. This is an excellent morning drink and will get the body going. Juice and enjoy!

Serves 2 people

• 3 apples (granny smith)


• 1 cup of red grapes


• 1/2 lemon (peeled) 

 

UPDATE ON GRAPES:

The wealth of antioxidant nutrients in grapes is somewhat startling! In addition to providing us with conventional antioxidant nutrient like vitamin C and manganese, grapes are filled with antioxidant phytonutrients that range from common carotenoids like beta-carotene to unusual stilbenes like resveratrol, and the total number of different antioxidant nutrients in grapes runs well into the hundreds. – whfoods.com

As always, thanks for reading and happy juicing!

Spring Cleanse Vegetable Juice with Asparagus, Cucumber and Tomato

Beet - Cucumber Cleansing Juice Recipe with Carrots, Cucumber, Beets and Celery

I was a little hesitant to make the Beet – Cucumber Cleansing Juice just because it had so many ingredients, but really it’s not to difficult to make.  There are 7 ingredients, but ginger and lemon are so easy to add to a juice it doesn’t make sense for me not to try it at least once. I’m so happy I did.

This is a delicious blend. I could taste every ingredient, but none of them were overpowering. I’ll be making the Beet – Cucumber Cleansing Juice again.

Why is this a cleansing juice? For one, beets. Beets are good for the kidney, liver and bladder. Beetroot juice is also believed to be a blood purifier and is good for intestinal cleanses.

Be careful about the leaves though. The leaves are high in oxalate and people on a low oxalate diet should avoid consuming too much of the beetroot stems and leaves.

Beet – Cucumber Cleansing Juice

The Beet – Cucumber Cleansing Juice Recipe comes from  – Juicing, Fasting, and Detoxing for Life: Unleash the Healing Power of Fresh Juices and Cleansing Diets In the book it’s called Beet – Cucumber Cleansing Cocktail and is on page 290. I changed the name slightly.

Makes 20+ ounces with a large cucumber

•  1 cucumber, peeled


• 3 carrots, scrubber well, tops removed, ends trimmed


• 1 beet, scrubbed well, with stem and 1 or 2 leaves


• 2 stalks celery


• 1 handful parsley


• 1 or 2 inch chunk ginger root scrubbed, or peeled if old (I used 1 inch)


• 1/2 lemon, peeled

 

Researchers claims that compounds found in beets detoxify the liver and have the ability to cure diseases of the digestive system.

The benefits of juicing beets includes that it encourages liver cleansing, improves liver functioning and protects the liver from excessive alcohol consumption.

There are also indications that the benefits of beet juice includes the ability to cure kidney and liver diseases. – Juicing Benefits Toolbox

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.

Apple, Beet, Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

UPDATE: The Apple, Beet, Pear Fruit Juice recipe comes from The Juicing Bible. Most of my recipes come from books I’ve purchased and some come from a FREE juice suggestion software program. I modify the recipes for my taste and you can too!

I also find recipes online and some get sent to me by fellow bloggers and followers. Whenever possible I credit the source.

Fresh Juice: Apple, Beet, Pear Fruit Juice Recipe

As I said, this recipe (apple, beet, pear) comes from the book, The Juicing Bible. I really have enjoyed this book and use it for reference quite frequently. So if you can, I recommend you have a copy for yourself. Here’s the Apple, Beet, Pear recipe with a slight modification (remove lemon peel) of my own. Actually the book does mention to remove the lemon peel in another chapter, but I want to make it a point in this recipe. Leave as much of the pith (white stuff) as possible. As with other citrus fruit, the pith contains pectin and bioflavonoids, which help the body to absorb vitamin C. I find lemon peel too bitter for my taste, especially when juiced in the Omega J8004 Masticating Juicer.

This is a delicious recipe and I love the bit of foam on top. On this recipe anyway.

Before juicing I didn’t like fresh beets, but juicing has really expanded my taste. I love raw, fresh beet juice now.

This is a simple recipe and very enjoyable to make. Try it, you’ll like it!

Serves 2 people

• 2 apples


• 1 pear


• 3 beets (small to medium, with tops)


• 1/2 lemon (peeled)


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

I start with the ginger root, then the lemon and after those have gone through I process the rest in my juicer. My reason to start with the ginger root and lemon is that I want to get all that I can out of it, since it’s such a tiny amount. I think juicing them first will allow the rest, as it pushes through, to capture any residual ginger root and lemon left in the auger. 

Some people like to juice the lemon last because it helps clean and freshen the juicer parts. Personal preference I suppose. As I see it there’s really no right way or wrong way when it comes to this. Experiment and enjoy.

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!

A Natural Energy Drink

PRIME Juicers Store

If you're like me you get up in the morning and want something to drink. I used to run to the coffee maker, but these days (being more health conscious) I get into the kitchen and make a morning juice. It's easy! It's actually easier for me to make juice and clean up quickly than it is to cook a breakfast. And juicing is nutritionally much better for you. Here's a quick natural energy drink to get you going in the morning.

Ingredients:
1 lemon (mostly peeled)
1 orange (mostly peeled)
1 pineapple spear
3 watermelon wedges (minus rind)

This is a great starter drink and don't forget to drink plenty of water. Water is essential, but this drink is easy to make and delicious to drink. Have fun and juice on!
