The first thing you might think is how unpleasant a juice like this might taste but the fact is that these juices are delicious, healthy and energy promoting. If you are interested in seeing what these powerful juices can do for you, consider trying one or more of these awesome healthy juicer recipes.
Green Lemonade
-5 Big Leaves of Kale
-3 Apples, Cored
-1/2 Lemon, Peeled
Simply juice the components (stems and all) and you will be left with a smooth, light drink that really tastes like lemonade with a hint of sweet apple. You can’t even taste the kale which is great news for children and those who have a hard time consuming their greens.
Cool Cucumber Medley
-1 Cup Spinach
-1/2 Cucumber
-1/2 Apple
-2 Stalks Celery
-3 Carrots
While the color can be a little intimidating, this is likely to become one of your most favorite refreshments especially when it’s warm outside. While the carrots and celery play a small role in the taste, the cucumber and apple really offers a nice sweetness to the mix. And don’t peel your veggies before juicing them either! If you are worried about pesticides then make sure to buy your veggies organic.
Orange Banana Passion
-1 Orange
-3 Bananas
-1/2 Ginger Stalk
-a handful of Mint
There are a myriad of tastes that come to life when you make this juice. It’s zingy yet sweet at the same time and provides plenty of energy to keep you going until lunch. You can also incorporate your favorite fruits into the juice for some variety. For example, try adding fresh berries to the mix to change the color and add a little more sweetness.
How to Make These Juices
It’s pretty obvious that you can’t just chop up these fruits and veggies and get them to turn into something drinkable. What you need is a good juicer or two, depending on how you want to produce your own juices at home. There are wheatgrass juicers, manual juicers, citrus juicers and power juicers to choose from.
Some people choose to use a power juicer for all their needs, while others use a citrus juicer for their fruits, another juicer for their greens, and then mix the juices together in the end. It really all depends on your own personal preferences and what kinds of juice you like to consume the most. If you are really into citrus you might not need a power juicer but if you like to juice veggies such as carrots and broccoli, you will probably want to invest in a power juicer of some kind.
