Juice Recipes for Good Health For Daily Juicing Journey Blog » 
Below you will find my juice recipes. But first, some information on juicing.
If you all ready have a juicer use what you have & see if you find the juice yummy first before you invest in another juicer.
BREVILLE DIE-CAST JUICE FOUNTAIN ELITE 800JEXL
This is the juicer I am currently using. In 2012 I juiced 80 days and felt amazing. The following spring allergy season I had no symptoms! Also improved my asthma!
“The Juice Man” from Washington State Jay states the only fruit we should mix with vegetables is apple!
So keep fruits together to juice and vegetables together to juice only adding apple in Jay’s opinion. I use also lemon.
Jay and Linda have a wonderful juicer along with their recent cook book made with lots of love which includes great juice recipes.

Vert VRT330 HD Juicer, VRT330HD
This is my second juicer I use that works different by masticating meaning crushing and squeezing the produce.
“Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”, Awesome movie about juicing, a must watch several times especially while juicing!
Here is “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” website to assist the community of juicers.
Forks over Knives is a movie you can watch on Netflix. This movie is full information about why we are so sick and Fat! I love their cook book on eating a Whole Food Plant Base diet.sick and Fat! I love their cook book on eating a Whole Food Plant Base diet.

Even my three year old grandson loves Juice. I am promoting him to be the new poster child for Juicing. Instead of “Got Milk”…. “Got Juice!” 😉
*After 80 days of juicing last year, this is my now favorite recipe, the rest were before I finished. I call this recipe “Refresh”.
Keep the skins on all fruits/vegetables except grapefruit but only barely take off the outer skin since the white meat is full of nutrients. Please only juice organic produce. Remember “Let your food be your medicine” ~ Hypocrites
For my daily Juicing Blog following along here
Refresh
- 2 small heads of green or red or 1 large Romaine/green lettuce
- 1 lemon
- 1 green apple
- 1 grapefruit skin barely off keeping the white of the meat of grapefruit which prevent strokes so barely remove the skin
- whole bunch of celery
- 1 cucumber
- 1 zucchini
- Several Kale or Swiss Chard leaves optional which I alter per day
Wash your produce in a water mixture of Vinegar or Lemon juice with Sea salt makes hydrochloric acid and soak for 1-3 minutes then scrub and rinse
Drink this glass down and take the rest with you for the day! Takes only 20 minutes to create your breakfast and lunch plus in between meal snack by sipping on your juice throughout the day.
Now some tips and the rest of the recipes others have shared with me and some of my own creations.
Don’t use peels of orange or grapefruit only use lemon and lime
Fresh organic Pineapple juice in the morning or Grapefruit, Yummy, both are wonderful and great for our joints, Bromelain.
Some combo’s
- Grapefruit & Apple
- Apple & Orange
- Green drink; Cucumber, Lime, Apple, Spinach, Celery, Italian Parsley
- Cabbage, Carrot, Celery this is good for Ulcers
Banana skins are great to white teeth by rubbing them … hum?
Also, keep in mind, many people believe you should use very little fruit, if any, while juicing to keep your glycemic levels down. I personally like my above recipe for my body. Personally, I will never go back to orange juice squeezed, but only juiced. What a difference, as well as pineapple.
One of my favorite summer creation recipe is:
- Half a mango (tuck into lettuce leaves)
- Nectarine without seed
- Ginger small piece to taste
- Lemon wedge
- Apple
- Zucchini
- Romaine Lettuce
- ¼ Red Bell Pepper
- Handful of Red grapes I tuck into the lettuce leaves to juice better
Note: my dogs get some of the apple & zucchini 🙂 oh ya never give dogs grapes, deadly! So of course, this is high glycemic levels so you maybe hungry sooner or have a dip in blood sugars and feel weak. But I didn’t personally.

The following information I got off the Internet:
Juice Recipes for weight loss are quite a bit different than most juice recipes you will find which are typically just designed with your taste buds in mind.
It is important to avoid high sugar content fruits and is best to stick with veggies and leafy greens. There are some low glycemic fruit exceptions to this rule but the more disciplined you are the easier you will begin melting the pounds away! No need to stress… your sweet tooth will do just fine with many deliciously sweet veggies.
Similar to Detox recipes, below are some key ingredients that you can use as a guide when creating your slimming juices:
Carrot: This delicious juice will help add sweetness but still let you benefit from the incredible benefits of this amazing vegetable such as digestion stimulant, liver cleanser, and high levels of beta-carotene.
Cucumber: a base of choice for most recipes since they are water dense and relatively low calorie.
Celery: Is often recommended in weight-loss programs as it is low calorie and water dense. Juice the entire celery stick including the chlorophyll rich green leaves.
Lettuce: dark-green lettuce types are nutrient dense and darker the lettuce the more alkalizing and mineral rich.
Cabbage: Powerful body-cleansing vegetable recommend often for weight loss. I’m sure you’ve heard of the “cabbage diet”
Beetroot: This is great vegetable that will add sweetness to your juice. Use sparingly.
Spinach: Rich in chlorophyll and minerals such as calcium, spinach is alkalizing and has numerous weight loss benefits.
Tomato: Helps reduce acid in body, and is beneficial for stimulating blood circulation, liver cleansing and blood purifying.
Watercress: Considered a powerful intestinal cleanser and toxin neutralizer and is good for the kidneys, bladder, blood circulation, cleansing the skin and said to stimulate fat burning.
Apple: This low glycemic fruit is known for a wide range of health benefits including supporting healthy blood-sugar levels.
Citrus Fruits: Grapefruits and Lemons in particular have gotten a lot of attention for it’s role in weight loss support.
Your body is designed to detox your cells of toxins as part of it’s natural self-regulatory cleansing process.
Juicing is a powerful way to assist and speed up this process by incorporating cleansing ingredients and concentrated nutrition to help your body work better.
It’s been estimated that people on average have at least 5 to 10 pounds of accumulated toxins in their cells, tissues and organs.
These include chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, drug residues, food additives and a long list of toxins from our environment that are attacking us on a daily basis.
Fortunately regular juicing can help improve your body’s ability to detoxify and repair on the cellular level.
Think of juice detoxing as motivation for dropping some unhealthy toxic pounds that are holding you back from looking and feeling your best!
Below are few Great Detox Juice Recipes for both weight loss or cleanse your body of toxins:
Please Note: Use organic ingredients if possible to avoid adding more toxins into your body!!!
Also as a rule thumb try to stick with mostly vegetables as you want to avoid sugar as much as possible when your goal is detoxification. There are some exceptions to this rule when the detox benefits out way the sugar negatives as you’ll see below.
I personally feel the greener the better and like to add in ingredients known to be cleansing herbs or grasses like wheatgrass. Green grasses and leafy greens are rich in chlorophyll a powerful blood cleanser and alkalizing nutrient. You’ll need to have a masticating juicer to effectively juice wheat grass and maybe leafy greens at home. But must juicers will juice leafy greens in varying efficiency.
Cucumber Greens Delight Detox
- 1 cucumber
- 1 large cup of spinach
- 1 large cup of parsley
- 1 celery stock
- 1/2 medium lemon (not the peels) ( fruit exception because of it’s alkalizing effects on the body and helps with taste. )
