Ten Tips For Ultimate Juice Recipes

Here are the most important tips for quick and easy juicing, for avoiding waste of costly fruits and vegetables, for eliminating health risks, and for getting the most out of your juicing experience. These essential tips save you time and money, and insure that your juice is the healthiest possible food.

1. Juicer or Blender – Use a juicer, not a blender, unless you want a lumpy soup or a gritty drink!

2. Go Green – Veggie greens are super foods loaded with super nutrients! Especially wheatgrass. Try to add a small handful to all of your juice recipes. But be careful! They aren’t tasty, and too much will upset your stomach.

3. Don’t Juice These – Avocados and bananas – they clog your juicer unless you have an expensive commercial model. If you want to add these items, simply take your juiced mixture and combine it with avocado or banana in a blender.

4. Juice the Skin – Consider juicing everything! The skin of the veggie and fruit is often the most nourishing. The problem is that the skin is often bitter. So try peeling only 50% of the skin of the carrot. I can’t stand any of the rind of citrus fruits, though I know people who juice entire lemons and limes, peels and all. One more thing, large seeds and pits should be removed, as well as very rough surfaces such as pineapple.

5. Use the Pulp – Put a spoonful or more of the pulp back into your drink to add fiber to your diet. Or add mayonnaise to the left-over pulp for a wonderful mock tuna salad!

6. Use the Pith – Most juicing recipes call for removing the citrus peel. However, be sure to juice that white fleshy stuff between the rind and the fruit – it has tons of nutrients!

7. Go Organic – All fruits and veggies absorb some amount of whatever chemical is used to grow or process them. Buy organic fruits and vegetables because the organic label insures that they are pesticide-free. Particularly grapes as they are known to absorb more pesticide than any other fruit or veggie. Also, always buy organic peanuts and peanut butter, because they’re typically grown in the most chemically laden soil.

8. Not All Juicers Are Alike – The “slow” or “masticating” juicer gets more juice from your fruits and veggies, particularly greens. Though more expensive, I find the slow juicer definitely worth the money after using other kinds of juicers. I particularly like the fact that my slow juicer ejects pulp from one spout and juice from another so I can conveniently use the pulp if I wish.

9. Don’t Save It – Fresh juice will spoil within 24 hours. Some fresh juices begin to spoil immediately such as melon, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, so drink it right away. If you must store something, freeze your produce, not your juice.

10. Be Creative –  The best juice recipes are the ones that you tailor to your own taste and health needs. I must admit that when I first started juicing I found that a recipe book of tried and true combinations gave me helpful ideas for the best tasting combinations, eliminating the costly waste of juicing terrible tasting combinations. A good recipe book can also save you time hunting for special juicing recipes that target your special health concerns such as low energy, memory loss, diabetes, high blood pressure, weight loss, high cholesterol, calcium deficiency, insomnia, and asthma to name just a few. So find a recipe book and happy juicing!

Any good smoothie recipes using carrots?

I went to HanGawi in Korea town in NYC recently and it was FANTASTIC! I had this organic carrot and ginger juice and I’ve been looking to recreate it. I can’t seem to find any good recipes online though for smoothies or juices. I can’t even find good recipes for carrot and ginger soup with thick consistency. They all have fetid vegetables and things in there that I don’t need, have or even want in my recipes.

just make any kind of smoothie and throw some carrots in. you probably won’t taste them. just the fruit
