Here are some great power juicer recipes that you can make at home with your juicing machine. Also included are some of the great health benefits of juicing that each recipe can provide.
Juicer Recipe #1 – Have A Grape Time
3 cups of grape (red, green or a mix)
1 cup of guava (flesh only)
Grapes and guava are two fruits that are a good source of essential B vitamins. B vitamins have very important tasks such as releasing the energy from the food we eat so that are cells can use it, maintaining the health of the central nervous system and contributing to healthy skin and muscle tone.
Juicer Recipe #2 – Vitamin C Tropical Jubilee
2 mid sized mangoes
1 cup of pineapple flesh
Mangoes and pineapples are both excellent sources of vitamin C. A daily mango and/or pineapple juice can therefore help to boost the immune system, help protect us from colds and flu and help create collagen to keep our skin healthy. Also a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect blood cholesterol from oxidative damage that can lead to a hardening of the arteries and contribute to heart disease.
Another health benefit of power juicer recipes that include pineapple juice is that it can help with digestion. Pineapples contain digestive enzymes that are very effective at breaking down proteins. For this reason a glass of pineapple juice is actually taken everyday by some people with weak digestion. These enzymes are also sold separately as digestive aid supplements also.
Juicer Recipe #3 – Energy Beet Blast
1 beet
1 apple
Several studies have found that beet juice, when taken regularly, helps to improve physical performance and endurance. The nitrates found in beets slow down the rate at which muscles use oxygen and therefore increases the amount of work the muscles can perform. One study proved how effective this is by giving cyclists a daily glass of beet juice. At the end of the week the cyclists could actually exercise for 10% longer!
It is important to note that power juicer recipes that include beet juice are also potent detoxification drinks. It is not unusual when starting to drink beet juice to experience side effects of the detoxification process such as headaches and feeling nauseous. If this happens then cut down on the amount of beet juice you drink until the symptoms subside and gradually increases dosage.
