What Do I Put In My Juice?

The rule of thumb for juices is 3:1 veggies to fruits.  You don’t want to have too much sugar hitting your body so quickly.  Maybe eventually you can make the ratio higher for veggies to fruits.

 

For beginners, I suggest using more mild tasting vegetables like romaine lettuce, broccoli, cucumbers, etc.  I have also learned that it is easier to go with less fruit if you have a big, juicy cucumber to make up for it, like this one:

Maaaaaybe that’s too much…

But adding cucumbers and celery will help dilute the taste greatly.  As you can see in my top picture, I also supplement my juices with a couple drops of liquid kelp and some milk thistle or a combination of other herbs to aid in liver function, because the liver is one of the most important organs in our body to ensure a properly functioning body and to help in the detox process.

However, if you want to jump into the big timer league, here’s what I put in my juices.  Keep in mind these make 32 ounces of juice, so for me that’s 2 servings of juice.

Supreme Green Juice

Ingredients:

  • 2 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 kale leaves
  • a handful of spinach
  • a handful of cilantro (aids in cleaning out heavy metals from your body)
  • a handful of dandelion greens
  • some watercress
  • 2 green cabbage leaves
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 inch ginger root
  • 4 asparagus stalks
  • 2 small-medium cucumbers or 1 large cucumber
  • 1 apple
  • a few broccoli heads and stems

Add all ingredients into juicer.  I like to add the leafy greens first, then the ginger, carrots and broccoli, then the cucumber and apple, and finish it off with the celery.

    What brands of kelp and milk thistle should I buy and where can I find it?

    • admin October 10, 2014 at 8:29 pm Reply

      I usually buy mine in the health supplements section of my organic market but if you don’t have a store that has a large selection of organic food, you can always look on amazon! I’ve updated the page to include links for liquid kelp and milk thistle. Thanks for the question!
