Juicing Recipes


The above pictured juice is probably my most favorite combo I've tried yet! I call it my Tart Pearapple Drink! YUMMY!!! Here's how you make it:

Tart Pearapple (one serving)
1 Green Apple
1 Pear
1/2 Lemon

The best part of this juicing thing for me is that you're allowed to experiment with combinations! Really! The sky is the limit! So get creative and try things! I'll list below some of the recipes I've tried so far that I really like, but keep in mind if you give juicing a try that you are free to substitute anything for anything! What I've found is that if I'm going to be able to stick with this, I have to like what I'm drinking! It's just self defeat to force yourself to ingest something that tastes disgusting!! You'll never stick with it (at least I wouldn't!)

With any of the fruit drinks you make, it's good to add some kind of veggie to it...carrots are great to add (1 or 2 sticks to taste). Carrots give you energy and mostly get drowned out by the taste of the fruit! You're having something healthy and don't even know it! :D So, in the following recipes, feel free to add a carrot stick or celery or spinach leaves to any of them! You can also add a little lemon or lime to any drink to make it a little more tart if so desired. Also, it's your choice to peel or not to peel lemons, oranges, etc.

Orange Sherbert
2 Oranges 
2 Carrot Sticks
1 Red Apple

Red Wonder
1 Red Apple
A Bunch of Purple Grapes (30-40)
10-15 Strawberries

Apple Delight
2 Red Apples
2 Green Apples

Watermelon Surprise
3 Thick Slices of Watermelon
1/2 Handful of Spinach Leaves
1 Red Apple
1/2 Lemon

Grape Madness
2 Bunches of Purple Grapes
2 Bunches of Green Grapes

Appleloupe
2 Green Apples
4 Thick slices of Cantaloupe
1/2 lemon

Pineapple Dandy
4 Slices of Pineapple (completely skinned)
1 Green Apple

Those are some of the drinks I've tried so far. I have some other veggies and fruits I"m going to experiment with as well including beets and Sweet Potatoes and papayas. Of course I'll post those recipes when I do them!

Also, there's nothing that says you have to combine things for a drink or two. If you're just in the mood for some watermelon, or orange juice, or apple juice, then just do the one fruit!
