My 5 Favorite Juicer Recipes

This fresh tropical fruit juice is so refreshing first thing in the morning and will give you tons of energy to begin your day! This is a great juicer recipe to help you get started if you are new to juicing. It is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to give you a mighty punch that goes right along with your new health kick!

If you're not convinced about juicing after trying a glass of this fresh tropical fruit juice, you just might need to try another glass!

This recipe makes more than one glass, depending on how large of a glass you use. I like a big glass of juice, especially first thing in the morning, and I still get 2 servings out of this. You might even be able to make it into 3 small glasses...so share it or save the rest for later!

This is one of my favorite juicer recipes to have for a sweet treat. I love to make it in the afternoon when I get a bit of a sugar craving. I add some agave nectar to the juice to sweeten it up a bit. Agave nectar is a little like honey, but it comes from a vegetable source...interestingly enough, the same plant tequila is made from! It has many healthy benefits on its own, including a low glycemic index to prevent a "spike" in blood sugar levels. It is a wonderful way to sweeten teas and juices...and I even use it in some of my baking and my Healthy Homemade Granola Bars!

This recipe makes at least 2 large glasses of juice...Share and enjoy!

This juicer recipe is full of Vitamin C...a wonderful way to boost your immune syste and perfect for flu and cold season! The addition of ginger not only adds a wonderful surprise flavor, but it can help ease nausea, reduce pain and inflammation, and even relieve migraines. Ginger also aids in strengthening the immune system...working right along with the vitamin C from the citrus!

Ginger is a very strong-tasting root and you really don't need a lot to get the healthy benefits and the punch of flavor!

Not being a huge fan of vegetables, this one took a few times for me to start enjoying...but now I really look forward to it! It makes me feel like I have infused my body with good stuff...that is a great feeling!

If you don't enjoy this at first, give it a few tries. Just think about not having to eat your veggies - you can drink them instead!

I get a different amount of juice every time I make this one...it basically just depends on the size of the tomatoes and cucumber. You should get 1 to 2 glasses of juice from this juicer recipe

I love green juicer recipes because I definitely don't eat enough salads to get the incredible health benefits of the leafy greens. Plus, there is no fruit to peel or slice in this recipe...everything is thrown into the juice extractor whole! Super fast and easy!

If a pure vegetable juice is a little too hardcore for you, the apples in this recipe sweeten up the greens and make it more palatable.
