With phytonutrients, powerful antioxidants like quercetin, vitamin A (in the peel), vitamin C, and significant potassium, apple is a prime detox food that’s available year ‘round. Tasty, able to break down toxins, lower cholesterol, and enhance digestion, this fruit is a popular, versatile, and cost-effective go-to for juices. Make sure your cucumber is organic and hasn’t been embalmed in a coating of wax. Cucumbers are intensely alkalizing, and a half (or whole) cucumber worked into a batch of juice offsets the acidic effects of high-sugar fruits and aids detox.Ĭucumber is our go-to base for sugar-free, alkaline juice blends, too. Cucumber juice is chock-full of nutrients, yet barely alters flavor. We add cucumber to many juice blends as a way of adding mineral-rich water that’s way more beneficial than the plain filtered stuff. Any cucumber, though, goes well in our recipes. To take advantage of the nutrients in the skins, we always use the less-bitter-skinned English/Dutch variety. A natural blood-pressure regulator, cucumber is high in vitamin A (mostly in the peel), B complex, C and folic acid, amino acids (methionine and tryptophan), potassium, sulfur, and natural chlorine. The silica in cucumber also reduces the concentration of uric acid, which causes inflammation in the joints, muscles and tendons. A relative of squashes and melons, the cuke is a natural diuretic (due to that abundant water), aiding in cell hydration, waste removal, and dissolving kidney stones.Ĭucumber’s high silica content is great for the skin, and helps alleviate eczema, psoriasis, hair loss, and strengthen nails. It’s right in there regulating body temperature and easing inflammation. This vege-fruit truly is the ultimate cool-hydrate-cleanse food.
Juice it stalk and all, and enjoy your new friend with benefits. Kale makes a good substitute for spinach in any of these juices, but will bring in its slightly bitter sharp note. It pairs with a wide range of fruits and vegetables, from apple, lemon, carrot and pineapple to tomato, cucumber and melon. Still, kale’s kale-which is to say intense the juice is best blended. And juicing is a great way to enjoy it in its raw glory, as its flavor is less bitter, relative to that of uncooked kale eaten whole. This mighty leafy green contains lots of chlorophyll, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids and beta-carotene), vitamins C, E, B6, and K, folic acid, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and sodium.Īs a warming vegetable, kale’s a natural for a balancing cooler food.

Rich in phyto-chemicals that combat free radicals, kale can lower the risk of colon, breast and lung cancers, as well as fight osteoporosis, macular degeneration, support the cardiovascular and immune systems, and assist in energy production. With highly absorbable calcium (thanks to a high ratio of calcium to phosphorous) kale juice surpasses milk, cup for cup, in calcium provision. In the right amounts, it combines well with leafy greens, sweet fruits like pineapple and mango, as well as apples, lemons, and limes. Light as a feather, parsley will throw its weight around in a juice, delivering that aromatic and pungent “clean” taste. We use the flat-leaf variety, as it has a more intense flavor than its curly-leaf restaurant-garnish cousin, with less bitterness. It is also a good source of potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, and magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, and folates.Īs a warming herb, parsley’s perfect for moderating cooling foods, especially in the colder months. Rich in polyphenolic flavonoids, parsley rates among the richest plant sources of antioxidants. Its essential volatile oils can be used as a local anesthetic and as an antiseptic for teeth and gums. It’s a brilliant blood purifier, and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which help control blood cholesterol, prevent constipation, and protect the body from free-radical damage. One of the most common herbs, parsley offers a myriad of health benefits. Apple and lemon amp up the alkaline agenda and give this great green juice a tasty zing.
