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 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.

Apple Peach Fruit Juice

Makes 16 ounces (enough for two servings and mixes well over ice and with sparkling water)

• 1 very large peach or two smaller peaches


• 2 apples (I used Gala)

 

Here’s some nutritional information on the Apple Peach Fruit Juice Recipe:
Calories 143
Potassium 521mg
Total Carbohydrate 43.77g
Protein 1.97g
Calcium 22mg

In addition you get vitamins A, C, E, K and B-6.

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

Bright Orange | Orange and Carrot Juice Recipe

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.

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

It doesn’t have to be the flu season to enjoy the Quick and Dirty Flu Fighter fresh fruit juice. This recipe comes from one of my favorite juicing books, The Healthy Juicer’s Bible by Farnoosh Brock. This is an excellent book for both the beginner and experienced juicer.

The Quick and Dirty Flu Fighter

This is a delicious morning fruit juice and as I made it, I just knew it would be a favorite of mine. I love oranges and grapefruit. I added a few ice cubes and sparkling water to mine. Try this recipe and let me know what you think.

Makes approximately 20 ounces

• 2 small-medium oranges, peeled


• 1 small grapefruit, peeled


• 1/2 lemon (I peel mine)


• 1 Yellow or Macintosh apple

Update:

13 Health Benefits of Oranges:

1. Helps Prevent Cancer

2. Prevents Kidney Diseases

3. Reduces Risk of Liver Cancer

4. Lowers Cholesterol

Beta-Carro Juice Recipe | Carrots, Apricots, Peaches

I had to try the Beta-Carro juice recipe because I bought so many apricots the last trip to the store. I love apricots and they produce a thick juice. You may have to add some water to this one. I think sparkling water would be great, but even purified water helps to thin this one out and doesn’t really take anything from the taste. That’s what I did.

Using my Omega J8004 masticating juicer I made this delicious recipe.

I always suggest people dilute the fruit juices, because of the sugar content. I’m careful about the quantity I drink at one time too and I’ve noticed in The Juicing Bible that some of the recipes for fruit juices says, “Serves 1” and I think it’s better to say “Serves 2”. I adjust for that in these articles.

If you’re like me, you’ll experience less of a sugar spike if you eat breakfast or some food with your fruit juices. If you have any medical conditions, please consult your healthcare professional. A phone call is all it takes. That said, fruit juice is great for fasting and cleanses!

Fresh Juice: Beta-Carro Juice Recipe

Serves 2

• 3 carrots


• 3 fresh apricots, pitted


• 3 peaches, pitted

Using your juicer, juice the apricots alternating 1/2 of a carrot between each. Juice the peaches doing the same. I had to let my Omega J8004 run for a few minutes after I finished to make sure I got all of the juice out. There still was quite a bit of juicy pulp on the auger.

Update: Beta-carotene, like all carotenoids, is an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules; it protects the body from free radicals. Free radicals damage cells through oxidation. Eventually, the damage caused by free radicals can cause several chronic illnesses. – Medical News Today

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!

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

Do you like tart fruit drinks?

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.

I 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

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

Zen Dragonfly | Spinach, Lettuce, Pear, Apple, Strawberry Juice

The Zen Dragonfly comes from the book The Healthy Juicer’s Bible written by Farnoosh Brock. I highly recommend this wonderful juicing book. It has many delicious recipes.

Do you like strawberries in your juices? If so, that’s great, because The Zen Dragonfly consists of 8-10 strawberries. I was a little hesitant to add strawberries to this green juice, but it turned out very well.

I’m always a little cautious to put anything other than apple and/or pear into my green juices, but Farnoosh knows what she’s making here.

You can just taste the strawberries and it gives it a very good flavor. I also detected the delicious taste of the Granny Smith apple.

This drink also has a beautiful green color. You can’t go wrong here. Gorgeous, Tasty and Nutritious!

 Zen Dragonfly

Makes approximately 20 ounces

• 2-3 cups baby or regular spinach


• A small head of Romaine lettuce ( I used 5 or 6 big leaves)


• 1 medium pear


• 1 medium Granny Smith apple


• 8-10 strawberries (sometimes mine aren’t the sweetest, but I got lucky this time)

Update: Buy organic strawberries or grow them yourself. Strawberries are known to be one of the most highly pesticide sprayed fruits. One report found 36 types of pesticides on strawberries. Out-of-season, imported strawberries are the most risky. But organic or homegrown strawberries are healthy. They are among the fruits and vegetables ranked highest in health-promoting antioxidants.

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.

Eye Opener | Kale, Spinach, Carrot and Grapefruit

Yeeesss! I struck gold. The Eye Opener is the best kale and grapefruit recipe I’ve run across. The grapefruit makes a wonderful early morning green juice. It truly is an eye opener, but not too tangy.

I don’t know if it’s the kale that cuts the tangy flavor of the grapefruit or if it’s the grapefruit that smooths out the strong flavor of the kale, but whatever it is, it’s fantastic! Served best over ice.

Maybe it’s just the right combination and amount of ingredients that makes this juice so good.

It’s a simple recipe too. Just kale, spinach, carrot and a grapefruit. The grapefruit needs peeling, but that’s pretty easy. I’m used to peeling citrus fruit when juicing. Speaking of peelers, here’s a good one: OXO Good Grips Swivel Peeler.

This is a serious hit of carotene, essential for eye health and immunity.- The Big Book of Juices

Eye Opener – The Big Book of Juices

The Eye Opener comes from  The Big Book of Juices: More Than 400 Natural Blends for Health and Vitality Every Day.  According to the Juice Recipe Builder, this recipe has 78 calories and it’s packed full of vitamins A, C, and K. What a wonderful vegetable based juice recipe.

Makes 10 ounces

• 1 handful kale


• 1 large handful spinach


• 1 carrot


• 1 grapefruit

NUTRIENTS

Beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamins B3, A, C and K. Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur.

This is an excellent immunity juice recipe. Try it over ice.

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!

Jolly Green Giant Juicing Recipe With Kale And Spinach

Jolly Green Giant

Okay this is a great juicing recipe, very beneficial. You can see that by the first two ingredients, kale and spinach. Kale is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Yeah I said it, not only me but Web MD.  One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.

So how about spinach? It’s got flavonoids — a phytonutrient with anti-cancer properties abundant in spinach and  flavonoids have been shown to slow down cell division in human stomach and skin cancer cells. Furthermore, spinach has shown significant protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer.

So here it is, the Jolly Green Giant Juicing Recipe! Enjoy!

Ingredients

4 large Green Kale Leaves

2 handfuls Green Spinach

1 Green Apple

1 handful Green Mint

1 small Green Lime (peeled)

2 Green Celery Stalks

1 medium slice Ginger (*optional)

Directions

Buy Organic (why juice pesticides?)

Prep your produce: Wash, peel, cut, de-seed

Send all ingredients through your juicer

Enjoy!

Bright Orange | Orange and Carrot Juice Recipe

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

Bright Orange | Orange and Carrot Juice Recipe

Pink Orchard Berry Buster | Apple and Strawberry Juice

I made this recipe this morning for Virginia (Health Juice Fanatic ‏@healthyjuicers). Most of the recipes I’ve been making lately are enough for two people. The Pink Orchard Berry Buster is a delicious fruit juice recipe that I got out of  The Big Book of Juices.

“With some 405 recipes for fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and quenchers, this newly updated and expanded edition of Natalie Savona’s essential kitchen guide to juicing now offers health-conscious readers even more. A clever indexing system sorts the juices by key ingredients, by nutrients, and by health benefits.”

I really like how the book is organized and I think you’ll like it too. I can just skim the outer page edges for what I’m looking for, ie. Fruit Based Juices – Apple, Fruit Based Juices – Grapefruit, Fruit Based Juices – Orange and so on. Smart!

Pink Orchard Berry Buster with a Fizz!

I like adding sparkling water to this one, but no matter how you drink it, it’s great! I love the taste of combining apples and strawberries. I used red delicious apples and some sweet ripe strawberries. Try this one, you won’t be sorry. It’s extremely easy to make.

Strawberries are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. And… they are a very good source of Vitamin C and Manganese.

Makes 22 ounces

• 3 apples


• 2 good handfuls of strawberries ( you may substitute any red berry such as raspberries)

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

UPDATE: Strawberries are one of the most delicious fruits for juicing, but be sure to wash them thoroughly if purchased from a store. Organic is better if available or grow your own. See: The deadly pesticide on your strawberries: How the EPA left us all exposed
