Juicing newbie here. I recently mixed kale, spinach, blueberries, carrots, and coconut water together, which I really enjoyed.

Do you guys have any interesting combos you'd like to share?

    not much for juicing - I like smoothies better - but I did notice sometimes juices turn out overly sweet and I tend to add a lemon to the mix (a combo of apple and carrot is always way too sweet for me)

    I juiced today spinach, celery, carrot, ginger, parsley, sweet potato, a small red beet, half lime and half a lemon. It made just under 400 ml, and it tastes great. I am not sue how to enter this juice to count calories though? Does anyone have any idea? :smile:

    My basic smoothie recipe is:

    150 g of any combination of berries and cherries
    30 g frozen blueberries
    30-50 g leafy green usually spinach or kale but anything you like
    1 tsp hemp hearts
    1 tsp flax seed
    1 tsp flax oil
    1/2 cup coconut water
    vanilla protein powder (if a meal replacement but I leave it out if the smoothie is a snack)

    I also opt to throw in when the mood hits:
    half a banana
    fresh pineapple
    basically any fruit you like or you could add some of your fresh juices

    This one is delish:
    1/4 cup coconut water
    1/2 frozen banana
    1/2 small avocado
    70 g pineapple (fresh or frozen)
    1/2 cup spinach or any green of your choice
    juice from half a lime

    I found it a little thick so I just added some water to it but you could add more coconut water or some fresh juices if you like

    My fav juice recipe is...

    > Kale - approx 6-10 leaves
    > Spinach - approx 10-12 leaves
    > Cabbage - a small wedge (great detox benefits and doesn't have an overpowering taste)
    > Carrots - 2
    > Apples - 2 small or 1 large

    Makes about a glass worth of juice and it comes out kind of brownish because of the carrots and apples so I cant really call it a green drink ;) but I like the taste. Some people find it too sweet...

    Depending on how I feel I will add

    > Strawberries 2-3 for taste
    > Lemon - 1/2 peeled if I want it a little more tart
    > Ginger - sometimes I will add a TINY bit but I don't like the taste. It is a great anti-inflammatory so I use it if I am feeling achy

    I have a nutribullet and juice when I don't have time for food prep. I just add whatever is in the recipe and make it a meal on MFP

    My favorite is the mean green juice featured on Fat Sick and nearly Dead.

    7 kale leaves
    2 cucumbers
    2 celery sticks
    2 apples
    Fresh ginger (I use a thumb size use less for less kick)
    1/2 lemon, rind removed

    I love to make this for breakfast when I have time. Great start to the day

    I prefer to juice some stuff and blend others to keep a little of the fiber.
    I blend:
    1 banana
    1/2 large tomato
    1/2 peeled cucumber
    70g blueberries
    70g mango
    I juice while thats blending:
    3/4 bunch lacinato kale
    1.5 celery stalk
    2-3 carrots
    1 each red apple and granny smith
    1 large beet
    1-2 oranges
    Then mix all together. I will juice the beet greens if they are nice and throw in other stuff thats around if I have it like pineapple, tangerines, fresh ginger, whatever else I have

    I keep it simple. The best juice I've ever had is FRESH carrot apple juice. My mother used to make it for me when I was young and I practically begged for it! I don't have a juicer so now and then I go to Juice Shack and ask them to make it.

    Hi, I found a listing for vegetables juiced and plunked my juice recipe under that category. It seemed to have pretty much what I had put into my juice, give or take a few items :)

    I have a nutribullet, so I'm not really juicing, but my favorite is 2 cups kale, one cup frozen peaches, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, water to max fill line. It is soooo good and filling.

    That sounds great charlotte. I will have to try this recipe. I love protein shakes also. Thanks.
