Juice bars are popping up everywhere for good reason! Drinking fresh juices can detoxify the body, help to create a more alkaline body, and to give a boost of energy and a clear mind.
Juicing is a powerful tactic used by a quickly-growing amount of people to lose weight fast, get proper nutrition, and help fuel healthy lifestyles.
Whenever I come from vacation or a particularly bad eating night, I reach for a healthy juice to cleanse my body and give my digestive system a break.
I am sharing 4 of our favorite juicing recipes with an assortment of fruits and vegetables for variety. Since my oldest daughter is a “health freak” we make these homemade juices every week and store them in jars in the refrigerator to make them easily accessible. It saves SO much money juicing at home!
What are the health benefits of juicing?
According to the Mayo Clinic, by drinking freshly made juices, your body can absorb the nutrients better than eating whole fruits and vegetables and it gives your digestive system a rest from working on fiber. They say that juicing can reduce your risk of cancer, boost your immune system, help remove toxins from your body, aid digestion and help you lose weight. Fresh juices can give you a burst of energy and a clear mind. Always check with your doctor for medical advice and find out what is best for your health.
- Abundance of Nutrients: Fresh juices pack a powerful punch of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients play crucial roles in supporting overall health, boosting the immune system, and promoting optimal bodily functions.
- Hydration Boost: Many fruits and vegetables have high water content, contributing to hydration. Staying adequately hydrated is essential for various bodily functions, including circulation, digestion, and skin health.
- Detoxification: Fresh juices are known for their detoxifying properties, helping the body eliminate toxins. Certain ingredients, such as lemon and ginger, support the liver’s natural detox processes.
What fruits and vegetables to use for juicing?
Some of the most popular vegetables are carrots, cucumber, celery, kale, spinach, beets, and romaine. The most popular fruits to use in juicing are lemons, oranges, apples, and limes. Other add-ins are fresh ginger, parsley, chlorella, and turmeric.
What are the health benefits of fruits and vegetables in a juice cleanse?
- Kale – insanely low in calories, powerful anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, and helpful for arthritis and autoimmune diseases
- Spinach – the beauty of spinach lies in how easy it is to disguise the taste. It’s mild tasting yet packed with vitamins, has anti-cancerous properties, and is one of the healthiest foods on the planet
- Cucumber – since it’s 95% water, it’s an incredible detoxifier and helps with liver and kidney function
- Lemon – one of the most important items to stock in your kitchen as it’s a highly effective cleansing agent and cuts through the bitterness of greens

Happy Juicing! –Melissa
very helpful
Do you deseed the veggies and fruits before blending? Also blend the rines etc?
how many calories are these juices?
Just what i was looking for ,God bless you.
Just started juicing today and still learning the ropes. Love Drink your Greens, especially over ice like you suggested! LOL! It would be great to know how much a serving size is? Don’t want to miss the purpose or overdo it. Thanks!
Juice cleanses can help kick start a weight loss plan and encourage healthy eating habits. It is a relatively easy diet because the suggested fruits and vegetables are easy to find, no matter where you live. They are available at the local supermarket.
I haven’t tried these recipes yet. I need to buy a juicer 1st.
My joints aren’t too much of a problem. However, I do have Whiplash Syndrome. The muscles in my neck stay inflamed 24/7. I now use a TENS/NMES unit along with physical therapy, steroid/epidural blocks and pain management medication.
Unfortunately, the inflamed neck muscles have not been nice to my neck bones. There’s a touch of arthritis and a small bit of stenosis due to the trauma of being rear ended. (The 19 year old boy was too busy messing with his cell phone. He hit so hard it also partially detached the retina in my right eye. That was easily fixed. Unfortunately, I’m still suffering because of him. He had no injuries.)
Anyway, I’ve been reading up on foods and beverages that can inflame and/or make inflammation worse. Sodas and high fructose corn syrup are 2 culprits that I have drastically reduced. I rarely drink soda and if I get a craving for one, I buy the ones made with regular white sugar.
I completely stay away from fake sugars. I think they are toxic and worse on your body than high fructose corn syrup. I tried a diet drink once and my body did not appreciate it.
I’m 43 so I know my body can benefit from juicing.
I lost my colon over 10 years ago. I also have abdominal scar tissue which has caused some of my small intestines to narrow. I can no longer have insoluble fiber and 10 grams or less of soluble fiber. Being blocked 19 times was torture.
This means that raw, fresh fruits and veggies are out.
So juicing is my only way to get the nutrients my body needs.
In “Drink Your Greens” – I just used a Ninja blender and put all the ingredients in with the lemon unpeeled but seeded and peeled ginger. It all came out like a smoothie. I put water and ice in it and more ice water when I put it it in my glass to drink. It is a little strong but after I put ice water in it and a little bit of honey, it came out great. Should I just use a lemon juice? This came out like a smoothie and ate/drink it up. Is that okey as long as scrubbed and clean all the ingredients well? Thanks.
Love these recipes! I was feeling so sluggish and had trouble consuming enough fruits and veggies on a daily basis and this has helped immensely. The kids and husband are drinking some of these also…and that in itself is impressive considering they usually won’t even touch veggies.
I can’t eat Apples, do you have a suggestion for a substitution that will have the same effect as apples when it comes to cutting the bitterness or earthiness of some vegetables? More oranges…pears? Thank you.
Sweet red grapes are awesome!
