Three Juice Recipes for Energy and Everyday Wellness
Three juice recipes for energy and everyday wellness.
In part one of this blog series, we shared recipes for cardiovascular health and musculoskeletal health. In part two, we have three recipes featuring ingredients from the Periodic Table of Juicing.
Recipes
The Dancer: Carrot – Red Apple – Lime – Turmeric
They say dancing is a joyful way to move. And research has even shown that people who started dancing regularly said they had more energy, stamina, and vitality. So, we used ingredients from the Periodic Table of Juicing to create this rich and delicious juice.
4 Apples
3 Carrots
1 Lime
3” Thumb Turmeric
Makes 22 oz of juice.
Instructions
Use a #8 or #10 grid. Grind the apples, carrots, then the turmeric. Put 1 cup of ground mash into a cloth or bag. Slice the lime in half and put ½ on top of the mash. Fold and press. Refold and press one more time.
Ingredient Notes:
Apples: Apples contain lots of fiber.
Carrots: A crunchy, naturally sweet root and a juicing staple.
Lime: limes are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is required to make collagen, and the body cannot produce this vitamin on its own.
Turmeric: Turmeric’s active ingredient is curcumin. It adds a warm, earthy flavor and golden color.
The Walker: Jackfruit-Banana Smoothie Bowl
When we tried this simple, two-ingredient combination, we agreed that this was a “Nice” cream that would motivate us to walk or even run to the grocery store to buy these ingredients.
We pulled from the Periodic Table of Juicing to make this recipe. For extra flavor and color, why not top this with mango, blackberries, papaya, peach, strawberries, or even figs? Dried coconut can also be used as a topping. And goji berries, mulberries, or apricots are other fun toppings.
2 Cups Frozen Jackfruit
2 Cups Frozen Banana
Makes 3 cups.
Instructions
We used a #2 grid in our PURE Juicer.
Before turning the machine on, we filled the feed tube with frozen bananas and jackfruit. After covering the top of the feed tube with our hand or pusher, we turned the PURE on and pushed the frozen banana and jackfruit through. That is it. You can clean the feed tube to get every last drop. Add toppings of your choice.
Ingredient Notes:
Jackfruit: Jackfruit contains phytonutrients and is a source of potassium and fiber. Fiber can help you feel full for a longer period.
Banana: Bananas are known for their potassium. One medium-sized banana contains 10% of your daily value.
Toppings
Blueberries: A sweet, juicy topping for a smoothie bowl.
Goji: Goji berries add a chewy texture and a sweet-tart flavor.
Mulberries: Mulberries contain anthocyanins, rutin, and myricetin.
Coconut: Coconut contains phenolic compounds.
The Yogi: Celeriac-Fennel-Lemon
The celeriac-fennel-lemon Juice will transport you to coastal Europe with the subtle black licorice fennel flavor. The celeriac balances out the fennel with its earthy saltiness, and the lemon acidity pulls it together. This would be great as a pre-brunch juice!
1 Celeriac
1 Bulb Fennel
½ Lemon
Makes 16 oz of juice.
Instructions:
Use a #10 grid. Cut the fennel and celeriac to fit the feed tube (they can be long, but they should be narrow to fit). Grind both into a bowl. Put 1.5 cups of mash in a cloth or bag. Add a slice of lemon and press. Fold and press once more for a full yield.
Ingredient Notes:
Celeriac: Celeriac is full of vitamin K. A cup of celeriac contains 64 micrograms of vitamin K.
Bulb Fennel: Fennel contains nitrates and is rich in fiber.
Lemon: Lemons are high in vitamin C and citric acid, and add a bright acidity to the juice.
We hope you give these recipes a try. In the next post in this series, we make food using stage one (the grinder) on a PURE Juicer.
