Note 1: These recipes make roughly 24-28 oz. This depends the efficiency of your masticating juicer works dryness of the pulp.

Note 2: Leeks and Cabbage are challenging on some juicers so check your juicer’s instructions.

Note 3: You may taste some bitterness in these juices. If you do, add an Apple or a Tomato for taste.

Yummy Fruit Juice Recipes:​

Please be ware of the sugar intake with fructose in fruit juices. In general, try to limit your fruit juices to 1-2 cups a day.

Refreshment in a Cup: 1 whole Cantaloupe, Frozen Trader Joe’s Strawberries – My favorite!

Sweet & Tart: 1 Orange, 1 Grapefruit, 1 Macintosh Apple, 1 Lemon

Citrus Essential: 2 Oranges, 1 Macintosh Apple, 1 Lemon

For the Love of Watermelon: An entire watermelon, all by itself, not mixed with anything else – Excellent for hot summer days!

Always peel your oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits before juicing. You do not need to peel limes or lemons. They add a mildly bitter taste to the juice unpeeled.

Still here! I am now adding water kefir for the liquid in my smoothies. Love my Vitamix! Those additional recipes you added look fantastic, I am still struggling with getting more greens into my smoothies even though I know they are good for me but plain old strawberry/banana tempts me every time

I have some Kefir in the fridge I need to add to my smoothies as well. I wish that I could afford a Vitamix.

I hope that you enjoy the additional recipes. When I first started the juice cleanse, I also had a hard time getting in more greens. I'm excited about the 2nd go round. I have learned more about juicing, nutrition, cleansing and overall healthy eating. I think I will do even better this time. I'm hoping to drop 10 more lbs doing my 10 day Juice Cleanse.
