Green Juice Cleanse Recipes


Green juice cleanse recipes are very important during a juice cleanse. The reason for this is that you want to get a good amount of leafy green vegetable juice into your body during this time. There are different opinions about the amount of green juice that you want to include in your juice cleanse recipes during this time, but most will agree somewhere between a range of %60 to %80 is about right.

One of the main reasons you want to consume this amount of green juice while doing a juice cleanse, a juice fast or a juice feast. Is that greens, and leafy greens especially provide your body with a wider range of nutrients than most vegetables. This will give your body more of what it needs during this time. You can continue on below for our green juice cleanse recipes, which will give you some good ways to get more of these nutrient dense juices into your body.


Recipe #1.

Symphony Of Green Goodness

Simple recipe.

1/3 small bunch of Cilantro
3 leaves Kale
6 Carrots
3 Radishes including radish greens
1 Cucumber
1 Green Pepper
1/4 head Green Cabbage

If you want something more precise.

(1/2 cup chopped) Cilantro= almost 1 ounce juice
(1/2 cup chopped) Kale= 1 and 1/2 ounces juice
(3 cups chopped) Carrots= 8 ounces juice
(1/2 cup chopped) Radish and Radish Leaves= 2 ounces juice
(2 cups chopped) Cucumber= 6 and 1/2 ounces juice
(1/2 cup chopped) Green Pepper= 4 and 1/2 ounces juice
(3 cups chopped) Green Cabbage= 5 ounces juice

Yields about 28 to 29 ounces of juice.

This green juice recipe is made without any extreme fruit sweeteners yet it tastes great! It is very lightly sweet and the cilantro provides a nice unique flavor that sets this juice apart. Wonderful juice recipe if you are looking for something that is lower in sugars yet completely tasty.

When juicing the radishes as you can see in the picture, throw the entire vegetable in there leaf and all! Radish greens are an underrated green and contain lots of goodies for your body that the radish itself does not!

We used Lacinato Kale for this green juice recipe which is also known as Dinosaur Kale or Italian Kale. You can use any variety of kale you like for this one and it will work just fine.



Recipe #2.

Green Morning

Simple recipe.

1/2 medium bunch Spinach
1 and 1/2 handfuls Sunflower Sprouts

(2 cups chopped) Carrots= 4 ounces juice

This is one of those green juice cleanse recipes that is not to sweet, but it does an excellent job of mixing all of the greens greens together in harmony. You could add a little more apple if you would like to make it a tad sweeter, but for me this is perfect as it is. For some reason the first time I drank this green juice, I was reminded of a cinnamon hot chocolate drink. I drank it down so fast I should of made more!

We usually juice the entire lemon, peel and all, but with this juice we just include the lemon fruit itself. This helps to tame down what is an already stronger flavored juice. You can put less lemon in this juice if you are not a big lemon fan. Some people may find this a little on the sour side with to much, but personally I really like this juice as it is. This green juice cleanse recipe is a great low sugar juice with lots of good stuff for your body!

(cups chopped) Broccoli Rabe = 4 and 1/2 ounces juice
(3 cups chopped) Apple = 12 ounces juice
2 cloves Garlic = under an ounce juice

Yields about 24 ounces of juice.

Broccoli Rabe or Broccoli Rapini is a lesser known vegetable that is used in European cuisine often. It is actually more closely related to the turnip than broccoli, but grows what look like smaller heads of broccoli.It has a "spicier" flavor that Broccoli itself and is leafier. We grew a bunch of this awesome stuff last summer and juiced it like crazy!

This green juice cleanse recipe has a semi sweet flavor with a nice touch of broccoli, broccoli rabe and garlic in the background. I love all of our juice cleanse recipes, but this is one of those that really stands out for me and I will be having it more often!
