Introduction

Juices are trending again! This nutritious and healthy way of eating lives up to the hype in so many ways. Juicing plant-based foods is a fantastic way to energize, hydrate, and get more fruits and vegetables into your daily routine. As a dietitian, I have dabbled with juicing for years but only recently started making more juices for my family of five. We juice in my house about three times a week, sometimes for breakfast and sometimes as an after-school snack. Our juicing frequency gets bumped up in the summer when our local farm share and backyard garden have lots of fresh ingredients for us. We started with basic juice blends like Pineapple Blackberry (pp. 28–29) and Blueberry Granny Smith (p. 43), then expanded to fruit and veggie combo blends like Cucumber Watermelon Sipper (p. 96) and Electric Mango (p. 101), which is made with mango, celery, watercress, and lime. I also get excited about adding unexpected ingredients like teas, spices, and seltzer water, which are combined with other juiced

ingredients to create fun and fresh takes on traditional juices (Strawberry Celery Hibiscus Chiller [pp. 98-99] is a perfect example). Juicing recipes often can be really bulky, cumbersome, and expensive. I have seen recipes with upwards of 10 ingredients, and I’m not a fan, so my primary goal for the recipes in this book was to keep things simple and affordable. None of the recipes feature more than five ingredients, but all are hydrating and flavor-forward. From classic juices, to shots, to juice-tea infusions, I have worked hard in this book to push the limits of what healthy juicing can be, while always keeping in mind seasonality, affordability, nutrient content, and, of course, taste! I hope you are excited, inspired, and most of all, nourished by these recipes.

Why Juicing?

Juicing is a quick, easy, and flavorful way to diversify your intake of plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Juicing helps unlock one of the most overlooked qualities of fruits and vegetables—hydration! Juicing also helps unlock many cell-protecting antioxidants that give fruits and vegetables their unmistakable colors and flavors. I don’t treat juices as replacements for eating fruits and vegetables, I treat them as another way to enjoy them and also stay hydrated. While juicing provides ample doses of vitamins and minerals, some nutrients can be lost or destroyed via the juicing process. But don’t look at this as a bad thing. By adding juicing to your daily nutrition, you’ll be improving your hydration and also getting even more nutrients than if you were consuming only whole ingredients.

A note on recipe yields The recipe yields in this book are approximate and can vary based on several factors. The type and quality of produce you use can have a significant impact on how much juice a recipe yields; produce that is small or less ripe can have a lower water content and can reduce the amount of juice produced. Ingredients like chili peppers, passion fruit, or bananas can impart a lot of flavor to recipes, but they won’t yield much juice. The yield of a recipe can also be impacted by the extraction power of the juicing machine you’re using.

Juicing FAQs What can I juice? Most fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be run through the juicer, but always check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your machine. I encourage you to experiment! Should I peel my produce? While you can and should leave the peels on some fruits and vegetables, others must be removed so as not to damage your juicer. Fruits like pineapple, citrus, melon, mango, and banana should always be peeled, while fruits like cucumber, apples, pears, peaches, plums, and even kiwi fruit can be juiced with the skins on. Sweet potatoes are a gray area, but I typically peel them. Check the instructions within each recipe to see if specific ingredients should be peeled. What should I do with all of that pulp? Don’t toss that delicious pulp; it’s all edible! Consuming the pulp from juicing can help you take full advantage of all the nutrient content in your produce, plus it helps reduce food waste in your kitchen. There are several ways to reuse juicer pulp; you can incorporate carrot and cucumber pulp into veggie burgers, apple or celery pulp can be added to baked goods like muffins, or you can steep any combo of fruit or vegetable pulp in water and strain it for a sippable hot tea or nourishing broth. If repurposing pulp in recipes is not appealing to you, the pulp can always be composted. Can I meal prep juices for the week? Homemade juices are highly perishable and are best consumed right away. Some juices will begin to oxidize and turn brown in a matter of minutes, but don’t worry—the juice is still completely safe to drink. If juices are stored in an airtight container and filled all the way to the top, they can last in the fridge for up to two days; just be sure to give them a good shake before drinking. Some of the blended recipes made with teas and water can be made in larger batches and stored in the fridge for longer. You can also freeze prepared juices in ice cube trays to add them to smoothies. (We love to make juice pops by freezing leftover juices in popsicle molds.)

Juicing 101

At its foundation, juicing isn’t complicated—chop the ingredients, toss them in the juicer, and sip away. But there are a few things that are good to know as you begin to add juicing to your daily routine. Choosing Produce

I am often asked if all produce used for juicing should be organic, and you may be surprised by my answer. Organic produce is available year-round and at a higher price point when out of season, but you should choose to buy organic only for produce with edible skins, such as apples, peaches, berries, tomatoes, and some varieties of cucumber. You can save money by buying these items when they are in season. For produce like citrus, melon, and pineapple, there is no need to buy organic because you aren’t juicing and consuming the skins. More importantly, in my opinion local produce ALWAYS trumps organic produce. Because most local farms use safer and more sustainable farming practices, and often grow more unique varieties than large industrial farms, you are not being exposed to the same sorts of virulent chemicals that the industrial farms use. Some smaller farms simply can’t afford to be certified organic (even though they follow similar standards), so don’t rule out sourcing produce from local farms, even if they aren’t certified organic.

are also helpful because they allow you to reduce the amount of time spent chopping ingredients. Check online reviews carefully and look for models that are quieter; some machines are VERY noisy and that’s no fun for your household on busy weekday mornings. (The recipes in this book were created using the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor, and I love it. It is reasonably priced, powerful, and easy to clean.)

Tips for Keeping Your Juicer Clean Here are a few simple tips that will keep your machine clean and your juices tasting fresh. l

l

l

Choosing a Juicer

Juicers come in all shapes, sizes, and price points. When shopping for a juicer, look for a machine that doesn’t have a ton of tiny parts that need to be cleaned, as these can be very difficult and time-consuming to clean. Look for a machine with ample capacity for holding pulp, as this will prevent the need to frequently empty the machine while juicing. Wide feeding chutes

l

 eep the juicer clean! The large parts of most K machines are easy to clean, and most machines disassemble easily; most parts are dishwasher safe. Scrub the inner disc filter basket after every use. Use a brush to remove any food particles from the fine mesh walls.  hen finished juicing (or even in between W juices), run a small amount of water through the machine with the machine running. This will help flush out any remnants of colors or flavors in the machinery. J uice smaller or harder-to-juice ingredients first, then run ingredients with a higher water content through last to help ensure you flush out all the flavor as well as any residue.

The Top Ingredients for Juicing

From nutrition power to delicious drinkability, here are some of the very best ingredients for juicing. Ingredient

Benefits

Apples

Crisp, sweet, and tangy all at the same time, fresh apple juice puts the bottled versions to shame.

Beets

Featuring outstanding color and an unmistakable earthy flavor, this root veggie is also filled with natural nitrates to help lower blood pressure.

Carrots

The sweetest and possibly most coveted veggie for juicing, carrots also offer plenty of the antioxidant beta-carotene.

Celery

Celery imparts fresh flavor and color! The feathery leaves also contain blood pressure–lowering compounds.

Cucumber

A super-hydrating veggie that adds the perfect hint of floral sweetness. Keep the skins on for some potassium, magnesium, and vitamin K.

Ginger

Ginger is your juicing secret weapon! This spicy element can elevate any juice, plus it has the benefit of promoting healthy digestion.

Ingredient

Benefits

Mango

I am obsessed with this delightful tropical fruit. Mango makes the most delicately sweet nectar that is perfect to blend with any veggie.

Parsley

Parsley adds tons of herbaceous goodness for a small number of calories. It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron.

Pears

Pears make juices extra frothy, and add vitamins K and C, along with copper and potassium.

Sweet Potato

Even sweeter than you would imagine, this veggie makes the best high-nutrient shooters.

Watermelon

Sweet as candy and ultra-refreshing. The white part of the rind contains special blood-fortifying compounds, so be sure to add some to the juicer.

Helpful Nutrition Boosts You can target specific nutrients to meet your nutrition needs by adding these healthy boosts to your juices. Note that these are added after juicing and should not be added to the juicer.

Ingredient

Benefits

Chia, flaxseed

Inflammation-fighting omega-3s

Brewed coffee, tea

Caffeine

Chia, coconut milk

Thicker juice

Spirulina, tea, cocoa, cinnamon, cardamom

Extra antioxidants

Spirulina

Extra minerals

Flax, chia, chicory root

Fiber

A note on fiber content Each recipe in this book features a nutrition breakdown, but note that the fiber content is omitted from the breakdowns. Since the pulp that remains in the machine contains the majority of the fiber, the remaining fiber accounts for such a very small amount per serving that it cannot be accurately quantified, so it’s been omitted.
