Apple Peach Fruit Juice | Simple Recipes

Do you like peaches? I discovered this simple apple peach fruit juice by mistake. I bought a box of these huge peaches at the supermarket not really knowing what to do with them.


I thought I can always juice’em if I can’t eat them 🙂


To my surprise they were easy to juice in my Omega J8004 juicer. I had to follow the peach with some apple to help push the peach through, but overall I got about 16 ounces of juice from this one peach and two small apples.

According to a study from Texas A&M, stone fruit like peaches, plums and nectarines have been shown to ward off obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.


Another study from Texas A&M showed that peaches and plum extracts were effective in killing even the most aggressive types of breast cancer cells and did not harm normal healthy cells in the process.


A higher intake of fruits (3 or more servings per day) has been shown to decrease risk of and progression of age-related macular degeneration. – Medical News Today

Beta Blast Juice Recipe | Cantaloupe, Carrot, Apricot

Well what do you know, I found some apricots. If you’re keeping up and read my last article you may remember I substituted nectarines for apricots. So, I decided to go back and do the recipe the way it is in The Juicing Bible. The Beta Blast Juice recipe is an awesome fresh fruit juice for people looking to infuse their body with beta-carotene.


beta blast juice recipe


Fresh Juice: Beta Blast Juice Recipe


 Serves 1


  •  3 carrots

  • 2 fresh apricots, pitted

  • 1/4 cantaloupe, peeled and with seeds

beta blast juice recipe


The apricot doesn’t juice well in my Omega J8004 juicer, so I had to go slow and follow each one with a carrot. Slow and easy with this one and let the juicer run to get all of the apricot juice.


This is a delicious recipe, easy to make and full of beta-carotene. Juice and enjoy!


UPDATE:  Tips for Picking Apricots

1 .Buy fresh. Opt for in-season apricots — late spring through the summer — which are grown in the U.S. Out-of-season (winter) apricots have to get shipped from other countries and, to make the long journey, these apricots have to be picked when they’re under-ripe, which means they’re more likely to contain less flavor.

2. Choose carefully. Examine each apricot for plumpness and a golden, or orange-red, color. Avoid apricots that are green or pale yellow, or that are bruised or shriveled.

3. Give them a sniff. An apricot that has flavor also has a sweet and ready fragrance.

Juicing Sprouts

I’ve really enjoyed growing alfalfa sprouts with my Victorio VKP1014 4-Tray Kitchen Seed Sprouter. It’s super easy to do and the little kit actually produces plenty of sprouts, especially for one or two people. Juicing sprouts is very easy. I use my Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer and even though they don’t produce a lot of juice, it’s tasty and of course very nutritious.


juicing sproutsGrowing Sprouts For Juicing


I purchased a Victorio Growing Kit that had everything I needed to grow sprouts. The trays, seeds and instructions were all included. All I had to do was provide the water and sunlight. They don’t even need direct sunlight to grow and for them to sprout they don’t need any sunlight. I have mine sitting on my plant cart and they get a little direct sun in the morning.


It takes about 5 to 7 days to grow sprouts for juicing.


After they mature, I just dumped them out of the sprouting tray and on to some paper towels for drying. I store my sprouts in a plastic container, the kind that strawberries come in. They’ve stayed fresh for up to a week  or more in the refrigerator. It’s easy to know when sprouts are fresh because they’re crisp. I love the crisp texture of fresh sprouts. They go great on salads and sandwiches too.


Juicing Sprouts


As I said, they don’t produce a lot of juice, but what you get is extremely nutritious. They go into the Omega J8004 easily and unlike wheatgrass there’s no cutting with these alfalfa sprouts, so no mess involved. Once in the chute of the juicer they are pushed down with the plunger.


In the beginning I started juicing three or four handfuls of sprouts along with three or four carrots to make a nice glass of fresh juice in the morning. The sprouts aren’t very strong so I hardly notice that they’re in there. There’s just a hint of sprout taste and it’s delicious.


After a few times and experimenting with simple recipes, I started adding sprouts to all of my green juices. One of my favorite green juices includes cucumber, spinach, celery, kale (or romaine lettuce), carrots and an apple. Now with the addition of sprouts it’s an even better green drink.


Sprouts add a green, living nutritional boost to any juice. Try juicing sprouts with fruit! You might be surprised.


This is a delicious and refreshing juice which promotes weight loss. You can drink this juice twice a day on an empty stomach to help suppress your appetite. If possible, use organic produce for this recipe.
