2 Homemade Vegetable Juice Recipes

Juicing has become a popular method of detoxing the body. Although I personally have never been able to live off juicing, there are people that have found drinking one's daily nutritional intake does the trick for months on end. Juicing for me is about getting nutrients that I otherwise could never eat entirely in one day.

Here are my two favorite Vegetable Juice Recipes:

Recipe #1:

4-5 carrots

1-2 handfuls of spinach

1 tsp fresh ginger

Start with the carrots in the juice machine. You can either clean the carrots with the peel still attached or, as I rather prefer, peel the carrots for a fresher taste. In my personal opinion carrots that have not been peeled give a more earthy taste to the entire juice which is not as satisfying to my taste buds. Not peeling does safe time and energy so it is up to your personal preference. Push the carrots through the juicer. Clean the spinach and push through the juicer. You may leave most of the stems on since it does not change the flavor and adds to the vitamin count of your juice. Finally add fresh ginger to give the juice a full-bodied flavor. We used to drink this juice without the ginger however we found that added just a small teaspoon of fresh ginger root helps the lasting flavor of freshness. You may leave the peel on the ginger since the juicer will just peel it off anyways. If you have a thing about peeling your ginger, go ahead but it is an unnecessary step.

Recipe #2:

4-5 carrots

1 handfuls of kale, chopped

1-2 nice red beets

This is one of my most favorite vegetable juice recipes! If you are not a fan of red beets, I urge you to try this recipe. Peel the red beets (be careful these little veggies will stain your clothes and countertop if not careful).

Pass each vegetable through the juicer, one at a time, and make a wonderful pinkish-red juice! You may use the long stems of kale without changing the flavor of the vegetable juice. The end product has a fresh, sweet taste.
