5. Apple Carrot Beet Ginger Juice
If you want variety in your juicer recipes, beets are another superfood that serve as an excellent juice ingredient with their high vitamin and nutrient content. Not only does this apple carrot beet ginger juice from Minimalist Baker look gorgeous with its bright crimson hue, but it will also help you load up on essential nutrients like manganese, iron and vitamin B9.
Your Benefits From Juicing
There’s plenty of benefits when you are trying to juice like a pro.
When you drink juice, your body can quickly absorb all of the nutrients from fruits and vegetables. This is because the juice has been broken down to a liquid form, which makes it easier for your body to digest.
You’ll also get a lot of fiber with fruit juice recipes, which is essential for digestive health.
You won’t have to worry about juice fast recipes if you’re trying for weight loss because most of the fruits and vegetables that are used for juice cleanse recipes are low in calories.
Easy juice recipes can also help with recovery after a workout, which makes it a great post-activity snack.
Or maybe you just want to keep healthy with lots of energy. Either way, good juice recipes are perfect for getting all the good nutrients your body needs.
You can also use juicing to break some bad habits. The juice itself might still have some sweetness depending on what ingredients you use.
So instead of grabbing a candy bar or soda to drink, try out good juice recipes instead and you could end up kicking your bad habits.
HEALTHY HOMEMADE JUICE RECIPES
1. LEMON LIME GINGER ALE RECIPE
This is one of my favorite homemade juice recipes, especially come summer time. The lemons and limes give you a serious boost of vitamin C, not to mention a lovely, refreshing zing wonderfully complemented by the ginger. And you get all the sweetness you need from the apple and the grapes. The whole juice is just lovely!
Ingredients:
handful of grapes
1 apple, cored and sliced
½ inch fresh ginger (less if you find the taste too strong)
1/2 lime
1/4 lemon
sparkling mineral water
Directions:
Remove the grapes from the stem. Juice the apple and ginger together, then juice the rest of the fruit. Pour the juice in a large glass and fill to the top with sparkling water and serve with ice.
2. POWER GULP
Share
A lot of these recipes are health driven, starting with this wonderful green juice. The veggies mix beautifully with the fruits, coming together to create a crisp, sweet, refreshing drink that really boosts your energy. Thanks to the kale, especially, you get so many nutrients – it’s a super juice made from a super food! Drink this if you’re pregnant or around your period, especially if you get really bad cramps.
Ingredients:
1 cup sliced kale (from about 3 large leaves)
1 cup seedless green grapes (about 28)
1 English cucumber, thickly sliced
1 small Granny Smith apple (4–6 ounces), cored and cut into chunks
1/2 cup water
Directions:
In a blender, combine kale, grapes, cucumber, apple, and water; blend, scraping down sides occasionally, until smooth. Strain juice and, if desired, thin with additional water. Before serving, garnish with a fresh kale leaf and a cucumber slice (optional). Refrigerate up to 2 days (shake before serving).
3. TROPICAL MORNING
This juice is very aptly named. It’s a fantastic early morning juice. In fact, you might be tempted to give your OJ a rest for good. I love the way the tropical flavors come together. The mix of peaches and mango is excellent, and the coconut water is super healthy.
Ingredients:
1 cup diced peaches
1 cup diced and peeled mango
1 freshly squeezed orange
½ cup coconut water
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Directions:
Blend ingredients until smooth, and pour through a strainer if desired. Serve chilled and garnish with a peach slice.
4. TOTAL HEALTH BOOSTER
This one’s aptly named too, because you’ll receive vitamins A, B, C, and E all at once. It gives you just the boost you need in the morning, and the mix of ingredients is actually incredible for your skin. If you’re on a health kick and trying out new beauty foods, this is the beauty drink for you.
Ingredients:
1 medium apple (8 ounces), cored and cubed
2 medium soft pears (such as Bartlett), cored and cubed (about 1 pound total)
1/2 cup cherries (fresh with pits removed or frozen and thawed)
Directions:
In a blender, combine apple, pears, and cherries; blend, scraping down sides occasionally, until smooth. Strain juice and, if desired, thin with water. Before serving, garnish with fresh cherries, if desired. Refrigerate up to 2 days (shake before serving).
5. HOMEMADE VEGETABLE FRUIT JUICE
Vegetables and fruit go together so well in juices. If you’re worried about including veggies, don’t be – the fruits lend all the sweetness you need. Besides that, both carrots and kale are actually quite sweet, and they lend a lovely, earthy flavor that perfectly complements the apples, oranges, and berries.
Ingredients:
2 gala apples
2 large carrots
1 orange
3-4 large kale leaves
1 cup blackberries
Directions:
Juice all ingredients into a large measuring cup or bowl.
Strain if you have a picky drinker who like thin juices. Serve immediately.
6. ANTIOXIDANT SUPREME
Share
Just as the name suggests, this juice is packed full of helpful antioxidants. They come from the blueberries, although the strawberries do their part as well. The mango provides a much needed dose of tropical flavor, so you’ll probably never want another juice. Besides, a glass a day will keep you looking and feeling young and gorgeous.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 cup (about 5) fresh strawberries, halved (or frozen, thawed)
2 cups peeled and coarsely chopped mango (from a 1-pound mango)
1/4 cup water
Directions:
In a blender, combine blueberries, strawberries, mango, and water; blend, scraping down sides occasionally, until smooth. Strain juice and, if desired, thin with additional water. Before serving, garnish with sliced mango, blueberries, and strawberries (optional). Refrigerate up to 2 days (shake before serving).
7. HOMEMADE GOOD MORNING JUICE
Share
You’ll definitely be off to a good morning with this juice! The spinach is so good for you, and gives you a huge vitamin boost to get your day started off right. The carrots and strawberries provide just enough sweetness to balance out the wonderful tartness of the apples – but then, I prefer Granny Smiths myself.
Ingredients:
3 large and/or extra-large strawberries, rinsed and greens removed
3 medium apples, gala, golden delicious, fuji and empire apples work best to keep it sweet. Use macintosh or granny smith if you prefer a bit of tartness
3 raw large carrots – the long skinnier type is what juices best. The thicker carrots tend to cause the juicer to bounce all over and isn’t that great on the blades.
1 cup of Fresh Baby Spinach OR Full-grown Spinach, rinsed & bunched together – no chopping needed
Directions:
Rinse apples, spinach, strawberries and carrots.
Remove stems and greens from apples and strawberries.
Peel one layer off of carrots after rinsing. Turn on Juicer.
Bunch spinach in your hand (using a 1c measuring cup really worked well too) to make as much of a ball as you can, which is actually easier with the baby spinach. Stuff the spinach in the juicer and using the plunger push it all the way through. Add the remaining ingredients in the same manner, pushing through with the plunger.

What if I do not have a juicer, can I make detox juice in a blender?
I do recommend and rave over my juicer but if you do not have a juicer feel free to make this in a blender. The nutritional count may be different. Also, I would peel the orange and lemon before adding them to the blender. Also, slice the apple and do not add the core to the blender.
Should this detox juice be a food replacement?
No! This is a great detox juice with lots of vitamins. I am not a nutritionist, consult a doctor if you want to do any dieting. This is a nutritional drink filled with vitamins. I recommend after a great walk or workout.
Can I make a large batch and use it later?
The juice is quick and easy to prepare. The liquid separates after sitting and would need to be blended again. For this recipe, I recommend making the juice as needed for the best results.
Variations
When juicing becomes more comfortable for you, add in dark greens such as swiss chard, dandelion greens.
More veggies and fewer fruits that contain more natural sugar is the best ratio for juicing.
