Whether you’re an all-out juicing aficionado, or a beginner looking to find their way into the alluring and trendy world that is juicing; these recipes are tried and true for adding a pep in your step, aiding detoxification, and giving you an ethereal glow. Juicing can seem intimidating, but I am here to tell you to throw your hesitations out the window. Once you start, you’ll be wondering why didn’t become a juice making fiend sooner.

Juicing at home is a wonderful and cost efficient way to feel your best. When you drink a juice, all of the nutrients from the fruits and vegetables are immediately absorbed into your bloodstream because your body doesn’t have to break down the fiber; this means that the beautiful benefits of these nutrients will quickly be reflected in both your energy levels and that healthy glow I was mentioning.

Let me start by breaking down the juice vs. smoothie debate. My stance on this matter is best expressed by a few commonly used phrases: ‘the more the merrier!’, ‘the best of both worlds’, and ‘why can’t we all just get along?’. When I tell people I made a juice, they reprimand me that I won’t get my fiber this way; when I tell people I’m drinking a smoothie, they warn me about the oxidation of nutrients when heated up via blending. You can’t win! Here’s what I think: you should drink both smoothies and juices because they both have amazing health benefits. I love using my cold press juicer for a quick, straight-to-the-bloodstream nutrient boost and an almost immediate sensation of natural energy. I love smoothies for a more filling and fibrous snack or meal replacement- the options are endless.

I don’t do juice cleanses (I’m not knocking them, I just haven’t done one myself yet), but rather I drink juices in addition to eating healthy meals. You can drink these juices as a part of a juice cleanse, or in conjunction with healthy meals for a delicious and detoxifying experience – the choice is all yours.
