Orange Peach Fruit Juice | Simple Recipes

Delicious!!! Orange Peach Fruit Juice! I bought these big, beautiful peaches last week in the grocery store and decided to try some simple recipes. Boy, am I glad I did.


orange peach fruit juiceI love peaches anyway, but haven’t juiced a lot of them. I never cared for removing the pits. Too much hassle. I like to keep things as simple as possible.


However, these large peaches make it super easy to remove the pits and I only have to prepare one. It only takes one large peach! One large peach and two medium size oranges in this recipe. Orange Peach Fruit Juice! I’m making this one more often.


Orange Peach Fruit Juice And Make It Your Way


Such a simple recipe and there are lots of delicious possibilities. Just diluting it with some purified water and adding some ice gave me 24 ounces. What about sparkling water? That would be an interesting mix.


I think some ginger would make a nice addition to this recipe. Just a little, maybe a 1/2 piece of root or less. Try it! Make it anyway you like. I love experimenting.


Makes 16 ounces


  • 1 very large peach

  • 2 navel oranges

orange peach fruit juice

Remove the pit from the peach and peel the oranges before juicing. I thought I  might have some trouble juicing these soft fruits in my Omega J8004 juicer, but I took it slow and they juiced perfectly.


So, you can imagine that there are many benefits of drinking orange juice everyday. Natural orange juice can reduce the levels of “bad” cholesterol, as well as blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular problems as a result. Likewise, it is a source rich in vitamin C, which is perfect for preventing colds. – steptohealth.com

Carrot Cleanser | Carrot, Apple, and Kale Juice

The Carrot Cleanser comes from one of my favorite books, The Big Book of Juices: More Than 400 Natural Blends for Health and Vitality Every Day.


Even though I wouldn’t consider this a simple recipe, I wanted to try it. I’m used to making recipes with just a few ingredients and this one contains six ingredients. It also leaves me with halves, which I don’t care for.


However, using the halves, I stumbled on to an interesting juice combination. I juiced the leftover 1/2 apple and 3/4 beet (see below) and added 3 carrots. Easy recipe and tastes good. I think it’s better over ice.


When juicing you never know what you’re going to get when you try something new. These more complicated recipes are a little harder to make and require more preparation, but it’s worth the while when you consider the benefits of the juice. The juice recipes from The Big Book of Juices make me feel great.

Any juice using beet or kale can take getting used to for the vegetable-juice initiate, but once you’ve had it, you can fully appreciate it’s cleansing properties.


I enjoyed the Carrot Cleanser. It does take a little getting used to, but after a few sips I really enjoyed it. It has a slight orange/tangy taste and I didn’t detect much of the kale. That’s a good thing for me :-) Overall, I’d say it’s worth trying.


Makes 16 ounces


  • 3 carrots

  • 1/2 apple

  • 1/2 orange

  • 1/4 beet

  • 1 stick celery

  • 2 large kale leaves

NUTRIENTS


Beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamin B3, B6 and C. Calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur.


This is an excellent detox juice recipe. Try it!

Update – I’ve discovered steamed Kale. I know this doesn’t have to do with juicing, but I thought I would share it since it’s so delicious. I just started steaming Kale since I’ve been growing my own.


Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fiber-related components in kale do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they’ve been steamed. When this binding process takes place, it’s easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability—just not as much.

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!
