Juice Recipes

[Dreamscaper]

Hey everyone, I noticed that raw foods recipes are dime a dozen on the net, but juice recipes, especially juice feasting recipes are pretty rare. So I thought it would help of we started a thread of combos/recipes to use for the feast.

My favorite so far is Celery/Spinach/Parsley/Cucumber/Pear. This combo is particularly cleansing and helps if your GIT is a little backed up since pear juice is a mild laxative. It's also delish! The spinach and one whole cucumber make up the bulk in my mix, and one pear is enough to add a nice sweet flavor. Then 3 sticks of organic celery (I use leaves, bases and all) and 4 sprigs of parsley for the rest.

Post up everyone. Cheers!

I love this one in the morning ... very refreshing.

Dandelion greens
Grapefruit juice
-- a few drops of organic mint extract to balance the dandelion
-- stevia to taste

I like tomato, celery, parsley and 1/2 hot pepper. It's great for dinner when I can't face another green one. Also I like watermelon and fresh strawberries. for a splurge. Would love it if lots of people contributed to this blog. Thanks GB

Last night I had 1 small grapefruit, 2 large oranges, 1/2 lime and banana - juiced of course. I saw this recipe while surfing ideas yesterday. It was by far the best tasting juice drink on this feast. Plus it is very hydrating!

I don't think your suppose to use bananna's on the juice feast. They don't "juice" on thier own seeing that they don't have a natural water content that same way other fruits and veggies do.

a juiced banana?

Do you use the Vitamix or a juicer. Is it better to use the Vitamix since you get all of the fruit or just the juice by using a juicer?

I made a surprisingly nice one the other day: kale, celery, pineapple, orange, coconut water. I kept my pineapple and orange separate until ready to drink. My daughter drank it as well, willingly :)

[Shirley Pettaway]

How much Kale did you use? It can be quite overpowering. How many oranges and pineapple quantity.

Yesterday it was straight up SWEET POTATO juiced with a generous sprinkle of nutmeg- OUT OF THIS WORLD! But it's a once a week treat for me as I am pretty serious about going mostly green to keep the sugar critters at bay...Bottoms up! xo

yesterday after work i needed a good sugary kick in the butt and made an "Anasazi" - carrot, a couple red peppers and a thai bird chile. the heat was intense but really clean. gorgeous colour too.

i get a lot of my fruity juice ideas from the rebar cookbook - here is a link to a sample of their juices

Is the sweet potato on the high glycimic end? Need to stay away from the sweeter things. Drat it.! Trying to get blood sugars down with juicing firts. before a dr.visit.
