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
- Carrots – known for being a good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, and potassium. Carrots have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health
- Celery – low in calories since it is mostly water. It is a low-glycemic food and a good source of dietary fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K.
- Beets – contain nutrients that may help lower your blood pressure, fight inflammation, and support detoxification.
- Apples – “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a famous saying for good reason. Helps to fight inflammation and heart health.
- Oranges – immune system booster since it is high in Vitamin C and low in calories.
- Turmeric – anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties

Happy Juicing! –Melissa
Great article — love the recipes! I love juicing, but I am a big fan of using them as a supplemental meal to a healthy diet. Juice cleanses are great for a quick weight loss but that weight usually comes back after a few weeks. So many great nutrients in these juices though – so drink up!
I look forward to juicing! How is juicing handled with food, what is the daily balance? What juice ingredients help with weight loss over others? Thank you.
Hi what can I use instead of beets ?! I wanna try these tomorrow!
I made all the recipes and it’s totally amazing
Love this site ❤️❤️
Is this 6 whole celery or 6 stems from one celery
This juice looks amazing, tasty and good for health. I am gonna definitely try this.
Juices Looks amazing. Will try this reciepe this weekend.
I made the Detoxifier and it was DELICIOUS ????. I cant wait to try the others.
I first want to start off saying that I love these recipes! They are not only easy to make they are also delicious. My boyfriend and I did a 3 day juice cleanse that we purchased on Amazon for $110 each. I purchased an abundance of ingredients at BJ’s (Costco) for around $40 and still have some ingredients left over.
As many of you previously asked, I was also curious how much each recipe made. So here is how I broke it down:
Drink Your Greens: 1 Batch = 40oz
The Detoxified: 1 Batch = 32oz
The Vision: 1 Batch = 20oz
Sweet Carrot: 1 Batch = 32oz
This was my first time juicing and I found a lot of helpful tips along the way.
1. Cut all of your fruits and veggies first, it makes the juicing process a lot easier
2. I did not peel the carrots, cucumbers or apples just to save time
3. (this is a good one) I re-juiced all of the leftovers in the canisters. In other words, I took the left over pulp and ran it though the juicer again. I found that I got another 1/2 cup – 1 cup out of the pulp.
4. If you have extra containers or mason jars, double or triple the recipe so you don’t have to juice as often. The juices can stay 7-10 days in the fridge and up to 3 months if frozen.
Lastly, and this is my personal opinion. Doing a 3 day juice cleanse is great but it is also very challenging. What I prefer is drinking the “Drink Your Greens” for breakfast and drink another juice later in the day as an afternoon snack or with dinner. I enjoy the way the juices make me feel and adding the extra nutrients into my diet doesn’t hurt.
if i just make one batch using recipe above is that enough for 1 day? 3 days?
very helpful
