Green and Vegetable Juicing Recipes

Vegetable juice recipes and especially green juice recipes are the cornerstone of juices. Jam packed with leafy goodness!

Here are some of the vegetable juicing recipes that we make and love.

Simply Carrot Juice

Carrot Juice
- 5 Medium carrots

This one is pretty simple!

Wash and top the carrots, juice and enjoy.

Wash your juicer immediately it is not made with stainless steel, otherwise the carrots will stain it.

If you drink enough carrot juice everday your skin will start to turn slightly orange! This is because carrot juice is very high in beta-carotene, an orange-colored antioxidant that gives carrots their color. If we consume a lot of beta-carotene it will build up in our skin. This is not dangerous however.

Simply Green Juice

- 1 cup of spinach
- 2 cups of kale
- 2 cups of parsley
- 1 cucumber
- 3 celery stalks

Add a little garlic and/or ginger if you like. Wash thoroughly and juice.

Apple and Cucumber Zipper

Ginger has potent anti-inflammatory properties that can help some people reduce arthritis based joint pain. Evidence points to one of the antioxidants in ginger called gingerol. It helps to combat oxidative damage to joint cells.
