Vegetables nutrition – sharing juice recipes
SO, today on vegetables nutrition, I will share some of my favourite recipes for vegetables juice. Those of you who have read my prior articles in the Juice series (the last 4 articles), knows the pros and cons of drinking juice, and are probably eager to get some recipes and try it at home. Those of us who have not read through them yet, I recommend reading, or at least skim them for your own good.
There are many good ways to make a healthy vegetables juice. Some will taste better then others, but as far as my juices go, there are a few basics that I always follow:
- Always add parsley
- Always add flax seed
- Always use cooled vegetables (not in room temperature)
- Use wheat-grass when ever possible
- Always drink on empty stomach
- Always drink slow and mix in mouth
- Never add Sugar or artificial sweeteners
There are a few more rules for healthy drinking, as we shouldn’t make our veg-juice UN-healthy. Again, the full information about drinking and making vegetables juice are in the prior four articles. Now let’s get juicy!
Vegetables nutrition – My Vegetables Juice Recipe
First vegetables nutrition recipe of the day would be the P.C.P.C recipe. This recipe is easy to digest, sweet enough to be tasty for beginners, and not too sweet to make it unhealthy. In did, a special recipe. Here are the ingredients:
- P – Pepper – 1/2 bell pepper
- C – Cucumber – 1
- P – Parsley (As i said, in All juices) – a bunch. With the stalk
- C – Carrot – 1/2 (Those of you who cannot handle a pure vegetable juice yet can add another half…)
These are the main ingredients. To these, you add flax seed (a spoon), and a small squeeze of lemon. If you like Celery You can also add a little in, making it the CPCPC Recipe. Originally, I made this juice with Red Bell Pepper, but you can try it with different colors, and for a larger quantity, you can mix a couple of colors.
Vegetables nutrition – Second recipe for vegetables juice
Another interesting recipe is the Green-Carrot juice. Again, carrot for the easier taste, so we will not be overwhelmed in the beginning of our juicing career. Here is the recipe:
- One carrot
- Parsley – a bunch (as in all of the vegetable juices)
- Wheat grass – a shoot glass
- Basil leafs – a couple
- Ginger – a little
- Asparagus – 1 stalk
- Flax seed
Mix it up and there you have it. A little bit more “progressive” then the first one, but still easy.
For both, if they are not to watery, just add some water. Not a lot, just enough to make it fluid. The flax seed should be added last, as you grind them separately in a grinder (unless your juicer knows how to do that!).
These two recipes are easy going, and are for vegetables-juice beginners. I will share other recipes later on, but you can find them all over the web. Take note that most of the recipes out there contain a lot of fruits, or something sweet to “fix” the taste. It is usually not a good idea to add fruits to the juice (as i have explained in a prior article). If you have something sweet like a carrot or beetroot, use only a little, while trying to avoid it entirely in the juice.
Hope you enjoy these vegetables recipes. Stay healthy, and read more on Vegetables Nutrition!
