Spring Clean

via Miracle Juices

8 oz pear (1 regular)
4 oz cabbage (appx 1/8 head)
2 oz celery
1 oz watercress

I didn’t have watercress on hand, but had plenty of the other ingredients, so we made 3 oz celery and skipped the watercress in this recipe.

Chop ingredients to fit juicer.

Run ingredients through juicer, alternating pear and cabbage/celery to keep the fruit moving.

Serve over ice and enjoy.

This juice is plenty smooth (courtesy of the pear) but the emphasis is on the celery and cabbage.  If you are looking for a certainly palatable “cleansing” juice, this could be it.

Happy juicing!

Red Rocket

via Miracle Juices

Overview: Supposed to be good for irritable bowel syndrome: carrot and apple have pectin, and tannic and malic acids, good for the GI tract. Cabbage is a stomach detoxifier and aids digestion.

6 oz carrot (appx 6 small organic)
8 oz apple (1 large)
4 oz red cabbage (appx 1/8 head)

Peel carrots, and reserve pulp. Chop carrots, apple and cabbage.

Run carrots through juicer first. Freeze pulp for future use. Alternate apple and cabbage until all used.

Recipe should yield about 7 oz. Serve over ice.

Enjoy the juice of life!

Fennel Fusion

via The Complete Juice Book

1/2 small red cabbage
1/2 fennel bulb (or 2-3 sticks celery)
2 apples
1 tbsp lemon juice

“Roughly slice cabbage and fennel and quarter the apples. Juice veggies and fruit. Add lemon juice and stir. Pour into glass and serve.”

Obviously I chopped things a little smaller than prescribed, but that’s what works best for my juicer.

Here are the results from the juicing – both the juice and the pulp. Quite a bit as you see…

This juice is surprisingly tasty. The apple does a good job of balancing the cabbage and anise flavors – I was bracing for a very “cabbagey” taste. The fennel was also somewhat absent. I did use about a 1/3 bulb instead of the 1/2 called for – perhaps I would kick that up in the future.

All in all, though, quite good. Certainly incorporates more veggies than your typical fruit juice! Give it a try.

Happy juicing!
