Here are some juice cleanse recipes to get you started:
Recipe # 1:
4 carrots, tops, and tails chopped off
4 stalks celery
A handful of parsley including the stems
1 small organic zucchini chopped but not peeled
1/2 of a beet
1/4 grapefruit peeled
Recipe # 2:
2 cloves of garlic
A bunch each of green kale, spinach, collard greens and watercress
1 tomato
2 stalks of celery
3 carrots
Recipe #3:
2 organic peaches, cut in half, seeds removed
1 organic apple
2 oranges, peeled
1/2 cup blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries
For these recipes, you will need to use a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a plastic citrus juicer for the citrus items and blend the remaining items in a blender. After you’ve blended all of your fruits and vegetables, strain them with a strainer or using cheesecloth to get as much of the juice out as possible. You may need to double the recipe in order to extract more juice. Here are a couple of easy recipes that don’t require a juicer:
Recipe #4:
1 large pink grapefruit
1 large orange
3 tomatoes
1 cucumber
After juicing the grapefruit and orange with a citrus juicer, blend the tomatoes and cucumber in a blender and strain the juice. Add the tomato and cucumber juice to the citrus juices and stir well.
Recipe #5
4 medium tomatoes
1 beet, peeled with the tops and tails chopped off and cut into small pieces
1 bunch of spinach or kale
1/2 of a bell pepper
1/2 small lemon
1/4 cup of water
Blend the tomatoes in a blender, strain the juice, place in a large glass or container and set aside. Blend (with a 1/8 cup of water) or use a food processor to “juice” the beet, strain it and add it to the tomato juice. Blend the spinach, bell pepper and lemon with the remaining water. When well blended, strain the juice with a strainer or cheesecloth and add it to the tomato and beet juice mixture. You may add a dash of cayenne pepper for flavor.
