seventy fabulous juice recipes
It is easy to fall into the habit of making the same juice every day. To help you explore, I offer here some of my favorite juice recipes. And I encourage you to develop your own recipes. Don’t be concerned about following the recipe exactly. Be flexible. Have fun! My suggestion is to consume as wide an assortment of fresh fruit and vegetable juices as possible. To make it easier, try to consume the fullest possible spectrum of colors of fruits and vegetables each week. More and more evidence is showing us that the plant pigments contain some of the most important nutritious properties—chlorophyll, carotenes, and flavonoids are all being found to possess some truly remarkable health benefits. So drink a rainbow of fresh fruits and vegetable juices!
some juicing guidelines
Let your taste buds be your guide. If they tell you, for example, that too strong a green drink doesn’t taste all that good, you can fix it by mixing in carrots, celery, cucumber, or apples.
The most important guideline is to enjoy yourself. It’s fun to experiment and find a combination that is unusually delicious. I had that experience a few years ago when I invented Better Red Than Dead. It contains carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes. Yes, sweet potatoes—and it is delicious.
Sometimes you may discover a new juice that you don’t like. This is fine, too. Why? Because it shows you are willing to at least try something new. I have made some juices that I won’t make again, but at least I tried.
Many people say you should not mix fruits and vegetables, but there is little (if any) scientific information to support this contention. There is no physiological basis for any issues in digestion being caused by combining fruits and vegetables in a meal. Nonetheless, some people do seem to have difficulty with combined fruits and vegetables, complaining of gassy discomfort. If you are one of these people, you should avoid mixing fruits and vegetables together. The exceptions to this rule appear to be carrots and apples, as these foods seem to mix well with either a fruit or a vegetable. Again, let your taste buds (and your digestive system) be your guide.
It is best to drink the juice as soon as it is made. This offers the greatest benefit. However, if this is not possible, store the juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator or in a thermos. Do not store the juice for longer than 12 hours. The fresher the juice, the better it is for you.
about the recipes
Each of the recipes should yield 8 to 12 ounces fresh juice. The actual yield will depend on the size of the fruit or vegetable and the quality of your juicer. Unless otherwise noted, all of the recipes call for medium-size fruits and vegetables. I have noted recipes that are particularly helpful for weight loss and detoxification with a symbol (
). These are primarily vegetable juice or low-GL fruit recipes.
apple spice
This is a delicious zesty apple juice that seems to warm you up even though it is a cold drink. I consider it a fall drink and a “live” food alternative to hot apple cider. This drink is good for the liver, as both
ginger and cinnamon have been shown to improve liver function. It’s also a nice drink before going to bed.
1-inch slice of ginger
3 apples, cut into wedges
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Juice the ginger, followed by the apples. Pour into a glass, add the cinnamon, and stir.
Here is a drink that is a great example of what happens when you experiment, which often leads to something that you really love. This drink is very refreshing—a fantastic drink in warmer weather.
¼ cup fresh mint leaves
2 Granny Smith apples
½ lime, peeled
2 celery ribs
Juice the mint, followed by the apples, lime, and celery.
This fun drink is nutrition-packed. Apricots and mangoes are extremely good sources of beta-carotenes, while oranges are known as a rich source of vitamin C and flavonoids.
4 apricots, pitted and halved
1 mango, pitted and sliced
1 orange, peeled
Juice the apricots, followed by the mango and orange. You may need to stir the juice up so that all the flavors mix. It can be a bit thick.
basic carrot-apple
This “basic” juice may be simple, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a delicious or nutrient-rich drink. In fact, this drink is called “The Champ” by Jay Kordich, the Juiceman, and it has been his favorite for over 60 years. For good reason—Jay believes this juice saved his life. Basic Carrot-Apple can serve as a base for adding small quantities of more potent vegetables like greens, spinach, radishes, and beets.
4 carrots
2 apples, cut into wedges
Alternate feeding the carrots and apple wedges into the juicer to ensure proper mixing.
berry happy
The health benefits of berries are incredible. The flavonoids they contain impact every body tissue and function. Here is a super berry drink that also takes advantage of the beneficial compounds from pomegranate.
1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
¼ cup pomegranate pips
1 apple or pear, cut into wedges
Juice the berries, then the pomegranate pips. Flush through with the apple.
better red than dead
This recipe is one of my absolute favorite drinks, especially in the fall. It is rich with carotene, especially the red and orange carotenes. Drinking this juice will give you a year-round tan. I named this drink Better Red Than Dead because one of my professors, Dr. Ed Madison, gave a lecture on the benefits of carotenes with this title. His lecture really made an impression on me, and I have tried to maintain a high carotene intake ever since. As noted earlier, there is a strong correlation between carotene levels and
life expectancy. Load up on this drink for a few weeks before going on vacation to a sunny location because the carotenes will be deposited in the skin, where they will protect against sunburn and damage to the skin.
1 beet with top
½ medium sweet potato, cut into strips
3 carrots
Juice the beet, followed by the sweet potato strips and carrots.
better red than dead—fruity version
This version is great for those finicky kids (young and old). It takes advantage of the red pigments in berries, cherries, and pomegranate to cover up the beet taste. It provides a different class of red pigments than Better Red Than Dead (above) does, so it is a good idea to alternate this recipe with the other version.
½ cup strawberries
½ cup pitted cherries
1 beet with top
¼ cup pomegranate pips
1 apple, cut into wedges
Juice the strawberries and cherries, followed by the beet, pomegranate, and apple.
bone builder’s cocktail
This drink provides the key nutrients required for building bone, such as calcium, boron, magnesium, other minerals, and vitamin K1. This is an extremely nutrient-dense drink in that it provides incredible levels of vitamins and minerals per calorie.
3 or 4 kale leaves
Handful of parsley
2 carrots
1 cucumber, sliced in half lengthwise
1 red or green bell pepper
Bunch up the kale and parsley and push them through the juicer with the aid of a carrot and the cucumber. Then juice the bell pepper followed by the remaining carrot.
bowel regulator
Pears and apples are excellent sources of water-soluble fibers like pectin, while prunes contain well-known laxative properties. This mixture has a very good tonifying effect on the bowel, improving the functionality of the colon. It is very useful in minor cases of constipation.
2 pitted plums
2 apples, cut into wedges
1 pear, sliced
Alternate the juicing of the plums, apples, and pear.
cherry pop
Cherries are an excellent source of flavonoids and have been shown to be of great benefit in cases of arthritis, especially gout. This is a delicious drink that parents can serve their children as an alternative to soft drinks or artificially flavored and colored “fruit” drinks.
1 cup pitted cherries
1 apple, cut into wedges
4 ounces sparkling mineral water
Juice the cherries, then the apple. Pour into a glass with ice, and top it off with the mineral water.
cholesterol-lowering tonic
If you really want to bring down cholesterol levels quickly, this zesty juice, along with a diet rich in high-fiber foods, can do the trick. It contains a
mixture of foods that have been shown to lower cholesterol levels on their own. By combining all of these foods, it is possible that an even greater effect will be produced than if the foods were consumed separately. This effect is referred to as synergistic and reflects a scenario where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, where 1 + 1 = 3, not 2. My personal experience is that this juice can be very effective in lowering cholesterol levels. The garlic and ginger also work to prevent blood platelets from bunching together, thereby significantly reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
¼-inch slice of ginger
1 garlic clove (optional)
Handful of parsley
2 carrots
4 Red Globe radishes with tops
1 apple, cut into wedges
Place the ginger and garlic (if using) in the center of the parsley and feed into the juicer. (This reduces much of the garlic’s odor.) Follow with the carrots, radishes, and apple.
cleansing cocktail
This is good for a juice fast, because it is nutrient dense and supports detoxification. If wheatgrass is not available, parsley will suffice. Wheatgrass is extremely rich in chlorophyll and antioxidants; look for it at health food stores if you are not familiar with it. It is very good for you.
½ cup wheatgrass or parsley
3 carrots
1 apple, cut into wedges
2 celery ribs
1 beet with top
Bunch up the wheatgrass and push it through the juicer with the aid of a carrot. Alternate feeding the remaining ingredients into the juicer to ensure proper mixing.
cleansing cocktail extreme
This version is for the extreme juicer looking for that extra punch in a detoxification aid.
½ cup wheatgrass or parsley
2 carrots
½ cup cilantro
1 green bell pepper, cut into quarters
2 celery ribs
½ large daikon radish cut into lengthwise pieces
1 beet with top
Bunch up the wheatgrass and push through the juicer with the aid of a carrot. Alternate feeding the remaining ingredients into the juicer to ensure proper mixing.
color me pink
This recipe is a great way to start the day, especially if you are on a weight-loss program. It is low in calories, but the natural fruit sugars will keep your appetite in check. This drink is particularly rich in flavonoids. Make sure you leave as much of the albido (the white pithy part of the peel) as possible on the grapefruit, as this is rich in flavonoids.
1 cup raspberries
1 large pink grapefruit, peeled
Juice the raspberries, then the grapefruit.
color me red
This recipe is a variant of
Color Me Pink and is a great way to add variety to a weight-loss program. Beets are substituted for the raspberries here. Trust me, it tastes great. The beet tops are not used in this recipe, but save them for another juice.

1 large pink grapefruit, peeled
Juice the beet then the grapefruit.
cranberry crush
Cranberries are fantastic for keeping the bladder free from infection. In this drink, the bitter principles of the cranberries are masked by the flavor and natural sweetness of the apples and orange.
1 cup cranberries
2 apples, cut into wedges
1 orange, peeled
Juice the cranberries, then alternate feeding the apples and orange.
cruciferous surprise
The surprise is just how delicious this drink actually tastes. This is a super-nutrient-dense drink that is rich in the sulfur-containing compounds of the cruciferous family vegetables, which have been shown to enhance
the body’s ability to detoxify cancer-causing chemicals and eliminate heavy metals. It is also rich in calcium, vitamin C, and carotenes. This is a great drink during a juice fast.
3 or 4 kale leaves
1 cup broccoli florets with stems

A femme fatale is a woman who attracts men with her aura of charm and mystery. This drink supports the female glandular system. Both fennel and celery contain what are known as phytoestrogens. These plant compounds

summary
It is easy to fall into the habit of making the same juice every day. Try to consume the fullest possible spectrum of colors of fruits and vegetables each week by juicing a rainbow of fresh fruits and vegetables. Don’t be concerned about following a recipe exactly. Be flexible, have fun, and create your own versions. Experiment and find a combination that works for you. The most important guideline is to enjoy yourself.
