Juices Recipe

Prepare produce

Wash all greens and produce thoroughly. Remove any tough stems from kale. Roughly chop the cucumber, celery, and green apple so they fit your blender or juicer feed tube.

Juicing (centrifugal or masticating juicer)

If using a juicer, feed kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, apple and ginger through the juicer. Collect juice, then stir in lemon juice and cold water or coconut water to adjust consistency. Add ice if desired and a pinch of salt to balance flavors.

Blender method (if no juicer)

Combine kale, spinach, chopped cucumber, apple, celery, ginger, lemon juice and cold water or coconut water in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth (about 45–60 seconds). Place a fine-mesh sieve, nut milk bag or cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the blended mixture through it. Press or squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or save the pulp for baking or smoothies. Stir in ice if using and season with a tiny pinch of salt to taste.

Serve immediately over ice for best flavor and nutrient retention.

Prepare ingredients

Wash and chop carrots into pieces suitable for your juicer or blender. If using fresh oranges, peel and segment them. Peel ginger and measure turmeric.

Juicing

Feed carrots, ginger and oranges through a juicer. Stir in lemon juice and turmeric powder (or grated fresh turmeric). Taste and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer sweeter juice. If the juice is very thick, stir in up to 1/2 cup cold water to reach desired consistency. Add ice if desired.

Blender method

In a blender, combine chopped carrots, orange segments, ginger, lemon juice, turmeric and 1/2 cup cold water. Blend until very smooth (about 60–90 seconds). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove fiber. Press to extract liquid. Sweeten with honey if needed and serve over ice.

Prepare beets

If using raw beets, roast (wrap in foil and roast at 400°F/200°C for 40–60 minutes) or simmer until tender, then cool and peel. Using pre-cooked beets shortens prep time. Chop into pieces suitable for your appliance.

Juicing

Feed chopped beet, apple, berries and pomegranate seeds (or pour in pomegranate juice) through a juicer. Stir in lemon juice and honey or agave if desired. Add cold water or ice to loosen thickness and adjust sweetness to taste.

Blender method

Combine chopped cooked beet, berries, apple, pomegranate seeds or juice, lemon juice, honey and 1/2 cup cold water in a blender. Blend until smooth (about 60 seconds). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing to extract liquid. Serve chilled over ice.
