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.

Happy Juicing! –Melissa
Hi there! I would love to try out these juices! We do have a juicer, but its a bit of a pain to clean, (or maybe i’m just too lazy haha) so would it work in a blender? We have a vitamix, so its pretty strong. To make it smoother, using a fine mesh strainer would probably help, too. What are your thoughts? 🙂
To juice leafy vegetables, you would need to use masticating juicers. I have the OMEGA and its great; but, there are cheaper ones on Amazon with great reviews.
Another option, but more work. Make your juice in your juicer, then add in the blender with the spinach.
When juicing parsley or mint I don’t get much juice.. And find almost intact leaves in the pulp bin?? Any suggestions?
Parsley simply cannot be juiced by using ‘regular’ juicers due to its tough fibre.
Norwalk Juicer can juice anything but it’s pricey and heavy [about 60 lbs]. But it’s the best juicer, cream of the crop, I know of and own one.
Try other veggies that are equal to parsley in terms of health benefits. But do not juice fruits period.
Do I juice the lemon with peel and all? Super new to juicing
Hello, and welcome to the world of juicing. It is always best to remove the peel before juicing a lemon am as it will be quite bitter. Enjoy the benefits of juicing.
Use Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in lieu of lemon.
I loved your helpful hints on juicing could u possibly send more on detoxing it would help me so much,
Kylie
This is very helpful. I knew of some of these but now I know which ones I should be putting together. This is really going to help me a lot with my weightloss journey
Does each recipe serve 4? Or is each recipe 1 Serving?
Delicious, all of them. The only problem I’ve found, is that each recipe doesn’t make the same amount of fluid ounces. The first recipe is a solid 4 servings, but the rest are much, much less, even when I have double the ingredients.
I have been using these recipes off and on for a year now. If I stick to them I loose weight easily. And a huge bonus is they taste great!
Hello, how many ounces does one of the juice recipes make? I want to try to juice for an entire day. Thank you.
I just got a Breville juicer for Christmas and am so excited to be juicing my way through 2021!!! Thank you for these recipes!
I just bought a juicer for the first time and googled a recipe and here I am! I had everything for the Green Juice! I was so scared to try it; assuming it would be bitter and nasty. My children were cracking jokes through the entire process and were watching me like hawk as I took my first sip….it was so mild and pleasant and tolerable!!!!! Hallelujah, I will be able to be healthy and ingest the most vegetables my body has ever had, thanks to your recipe! You Rock! Thank You!!
Great article about healthy juice recipes. Thanks for sharing your juicing experience.
