What juices should I make with with my mom's juicer?
Posted on July 1st, 2010, by
M mom just got a juicer, and she makes great juices. But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that she could use as well. I’d really appreaciate it.

I love juicing! Here are some of my fave recipes:
1. 1/4 of a pineapple (with the skin ON), 1/4" ginger root, 1 cucumber, 1 apple
2. A handful of cabbage leaves, 1 apple, 4 carrots, 1 clove of garlic (it tastes much better than it sounds….the cabbage actually has a sweet flavor when its juiced)
3. 4 carrots, 1 stalk of celery, 1 large tomato, 1 clove garlic, 1 handful of parsely
4. 1/2 of a cantaloupe (with the rind ON), 1/2 " ginger root
5. 1 kiwi, 10-12 strawberries, 1 apple, 1/4 " ginger root
6. 4 carrots, 1 beet, 1 apple
7. 1/4 of a medium watermelon (with rind ON), 1 kiwi, a handful of strawberries (if you drink soda, you can a splash of Sprite to this)
8. 1 large grapefruit (red, white…doesn’t matter), 1 apple
9. 1 orange, 1 apple, 3 carrots
10. 1/4 of a pineapple (skin ON), 3 carrots, 1/4" ginger root
Here are some tips and advice:
~Most of the fruit and veggies can be placed in the juicer with their skin on. It is actually recommended that you do that, as juicing affords us the opporunity to consume the rich nutrients that are in the rinds and skins that are usually lost when eating them. Just make sure you take the rind off all citrus fruits. Juicers cannot handle it (and it tastes horrible!) You also want to core the apples.
~Keeping the skin on pineapple gives us a great punch of bromine – there are very few edible sources of it in nature. It is a great muscle relaxer.
~Garlic is known to lower blood pressure.
~Ginger is known to reduce stress and aide digestion.
~Beets and cabbage are major ogran cleansers. Don’t juice them TOO often. Twice per week is plenty.
~The leftover pulp is great for composting and general cooking…..use the leftover apple pulp to sweeten baked treats (as opposed to using sugar!), use the veggie pulp to make meatloaf (or veggie meatloaf!), use the veggie pulp to make broth or as a starter for stuffed peppers, use leftover fruit pulp and a bit of the fruit juice to make homemade all-natural popsicles or fruity ice cubes in the summer.
The possibilities are endless!
Good luck!

It depends on what type of juicer she has.
My favorite blend is carrot, celery, apple, ginger (go easy on the ginger until you have an idea of how much to add)
Beets and apples together make wonderful juice.
Cranberry-apple juice is really good, if you can find fresh cranberries. The apples are sweet enough to offset the cranberries
Grapefruit juice and orange juice (if you she has a citrus juicer)
I’ve heard cucumber juice contains lots of good minerals.
I don’t know if any of these ideas are original enough.
My last roommate was really into greens and he used to juice dandelion greens from the farmer’s market!!! It’s the most bitter juice I’ve ever tried, but good stuff! He was 50 and looked 35, and he juiced greens every night. He has a different type of juicer than me, which can juice wheatgrass, parsley, spinach, etc…
Hopefully these websites will give your mom some new ideas!
Good luck!

My son’s fave is 4 carrots + 2 apples + 1 radish. All are really good for the liver and kidneys. I like it too!

I like to juice carrots, apples, and pears. I, too, like to add a bit of ginger to my juices – remember that a little goes a LONG LONG WAY. When I’ve juiced just carrots, apples or pears, I like to use the pulp as an additive to muffin batter to "up" the fibre content.
Other great flavours include passion fruit, pineapple, cucumber and partially frozen grapes. I experiment – if I see an interesting fruit or veg, I give it a try.

I love just plain carrot juice.
BUT – I also like to add apple to it for a sweet pick-me-up.
Another one that I like is carrot, celery, beets, cilantro, parsley, apple, cucumber. Will admit that if you don’t put in much carrot it looks like a green mess with a tinge of red – but it really does taste good.
