Fruit Juice Recipes

Fruit Juice RecipesNutrition aside, there is no liquid on earth that tastes better than freshly made fruit juice. The flash-pasteurized, bottled stuff available at your local grocery store is ok in a pinch, but that’s like comparing a picture of your girlfriend to actually having her in your arms. No matter how great your camera, there’s just no comparison.  The only danger for me is the temptation of drinking more fruit and less vegetable juice. Those cantaloupe juice cravings get me every time. The general rule of thumb is vegetables are high in minerals and fruit is high in vitamins; both provide a different range of antioxidants, so it makes sense to drink equally from both to obtain the widest spectrum of nutrients in your diet.   As for Gatorade®, soda, and the like, I just assume the poor folks I see chugging back those counterfeits-in-a-can, have never had the privilege of supping on the nectar of living fruit. 

What amazes me is how something that tastes so good can be so good for you. Whereas the food coloring in sports drinks can cause cancer, the natural coloring in fruit actually protects from cancer, and the more color the better. Fresh fruit juice is a great way of getting loads of vitamins and antioxidants into your busy kids’ bodies. Even the fussiest eaters will down a tall glass of cantaloupe juice or orange juice, supplying their entire daily need of vitamin C and A, just to mention a few. Freeze the juice into homemade popsicles and you have a fun treat to bribe them into eating their veggies at supper.

Here are some of the most recent additions to our recipe collection: 

Cleansing Limonade Juice
If you enjoy the tart flavor, add another lime and dab of honey, doubling lime’s antibiotic, antioxidant punch.
Ingredients
  • 1 lime
  • 3 apples
  • 1 tbsp. of raw honey
Nutrients
  • Limonene
  • Pectin
  • Vitamin C
Health Benefits
  • Antibiotic
  • Antioxidant
  • Reduces Risk of Cancer
Details
Instead of peeling the lime, thinly cut away the green skin leaving as much of the white pith as possible, which is packed with antioxidants.
Peachy Plum Juice
If you are constipated this is a great juice to get things moving due to plum’s gentle laxative effect.   Plum juice has a milder laxative effect compared to prune juice.
Ingredients
  • 4 plums
  • 3 peaches
  • 2 apricots
Nutrients
  • Chlorogenic Acid
  • Lutein
  • Lycopene
  • Neochlorogenic acid
  • Vitamin C
Health Benefits
  • Antioxidant
  • Anti-tumor
  • Laxative
  • Protects From Heart Disease
  • Protects From Macular Degeneration
  • Reduces Risk of Cancer
Details
Remove pits and juice. Softer, ripe plums, peaches and apricots produce more of a puree then juice.
Peach Apricot Juice
Peaches and nectarines have almost identical nutritional content so you can switch them out in any juice recipe. Tests have shown that peaches have excellent antioxidant activity and actually have the ability to inhibit tumor growth.
Ingredients
  • 4 peaches
  • 3 apricots
  • 1 apple
Nutrients
  • Vitamin A (beta-carotene)
  • Lutein
  • Lycopene
  • Vitamin C
Health Benefits
  • Anti-cataracts
  • Protects Against Lung Cancer
  • Protects From Eye Diseases
  • Protects From Macular Degeneration
  • Reduces Risk of Cancer
Details
Remove pits and juice. Softer, ripe peaches and apricots produce more of a puree then juice, which is especially good when frozen into popsicles. Freestone peaches are the fastest to juice; as the name implies, the stone cleanly pulls away from the flesh. Simply cut in half and twist away the meat.
Papaya Kiwi Juice
This will make a thick, beta-carotene colored  juice, full of vitamin C. Because papaya is a great source of the enzyme, papain, this is a perfect  juice to cleanse and heal the digestive track.
Ingredients
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 kiwifruits
  • 1 medium papaya
Nutrients
  • Vitamin A (beta-carotene)
  • Folate Acid
  • Hesperetin
  • Limonoid
  • Papain
  • Potassium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K
Health Benefits
  • Stimulates Digestive Enzymes
  • Improves Hay Fever
  • Protects From Eye Diseases
  • Reduces Asthma
Details
You can juice the whole papaya fruit, including seeds and skin, but be aware that even though there is a healthy array of nutrients in the seeds, they can add a bitter taste to the juice. If this is your first time juicing papaya, try it without the seeds first.  Instead of peeling oranges, thinly cut away the orange skin leaving as much of the white antioxidant-rich pith as possible.
Kiwi Orange Juice
This juice will be thick and rich with flavor and nutrients. In fact kiwis are higher in vitamin C then oranges!
Ingredients
  • 3 kiwifruits
  • 2 oranges
Nutrients

  • Potassium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K
Health Benefits
  • Anti-viral Properties
  • Detoxification

  • Reduces Asthma
  • Reduces Low-density Lipoprotein, or Bad Cholesterol
Details
Wash kiwifruit well and juice with skin on. Instead of peeling oranges, thinly cut away the orange skin leaving as much of the white pith as possible, (which is packed with antioxidants).
Beta Apricot Juice
Among  the fruit family only cantaloupes can rival apricots for the amount of beta carotene, making this a drink a sight for sore eyes—literally!
Ingredients
  • 3 carrots
  • 3 apricots
  • ½ cantaloupe
Nutrients
  • Vitamin A (beta-carotene)
  • Antioxidant
  • Myo-inositol

I appreciate the many recipes you've provided but some of your claims are simply false. Anytime some one claims that we only use 10% of our brain power is full of manure; even more so when you claim that a juice (Brain Stimulator recipe) will increase the percentage. It makes me wonder how much else on this page is based upon pseudo-scientific bunk. Educate yourself before making bold claims that are commonly known to be untrue. Otherwise, you undermine yourself and the information you're putting forth. Let real science enlighten you: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=people-only-use-10-percent-of-brain
