We’ve had a juice machine for over a year. We mainly got it so we could know what out two preschoolers where drinking. There are tons of bottled juices out there that say all natural or 100% juice, but are they really?
I haven’t made them juice in a while and honestly I am usually just a water gal who drinks coffee in the morning so I didn’t ever drink the juice I made them. Well, while I was visiting family in Arizona I went on a 5 day fruit & veggie fast last week. It went really well so I think I am going to start adding it to my weekly life.
Health Benefits of Juicing:
- There is NO added sugar, sweetness occurs naturally
- Your body soaks up all of the vitamins, minerals & nutrients because it’s so easy to digest
- Helps cleanse your liver and rids your body of toxins
- It’s easier than eating numerous whole fruits or veggies and you get the same or more benefits
- read about more benefits here
Recipes:
You can just add about anything (which is what I did and I would recommend a better balance) so make it something that brightens your taste buds! Here are some ideas:
This juice is rich in calcium and phosphorus and will soothe upset stomachs and indigestion.
– 5-6 carrots
– 1 (1 inch) slice of Jicama
– Handful of parsley
Slice the jicama into 2-3 strips if you need to, in order to feed into the juicer. Juice the parsley with the jicama and carrots to extract the maximum juice.
Have you ever juiced?

About Rachel
You made me want to get my juicer out!
One of my favorite juices is green lemonade. Have you tried it? Spinach, Romaine lettuce, apples and lemons. Very refreshing 🙂
Sorry about the title typo everyone! 🙂
Stacy- lol, I hope you get it out! I haven’t tried green lemonade, sounds refreshing!
Hi Rachel,
I shared my pecan crusted grouper and a video for making gf df crepes as well as an article about grains and gluten.
I also shared information about my 28 day grain-free challenge that is still open.

Hi Rachel! Thank you for hosting:) Looks like another great week. This morning I have linked my recipe for a homemade bleach alternative as well as a post containing information on 3 ways to prepare elderberries. I hope you have a good day!
Rachel, I love your link up party as there’s always so many good posts to check out and so much to learn!! I just love the blogging community. 🙂 Today AnnaLynn and I are sharing one of our favorite fall treats: simple pumpkin spice muffins.
My sister has been juicing and loves it. We don’t have a juicer, although I’m tempted to put one on my birthday wish list. 🙂
Blessings, ~Lisa
Thanks for hosting! I posted a profile of mineral-rich and gluten-free quinoa and a review of a great kitchen gadget — the Apple Peel Corer Slicer
I love the idea of a healthy linky!
I juice too and find it extremely energizing.
I linked two reicpes:
jicama rainbow salad which is a delicious raw salad full of healthgiving vegetables, raw cashews, and raisins
and a healthy GF snack for kids- Banana Roll Ups

Vicky- The one in the pictures is my brothers, it was around $99, the one I have was around $50, both from Target. I would invest in the more expensive one, even the $99 if you can.
Lisa- The pumpkin spice muffins sound like something we would love! Adding a juicer to your birthday or christmas list would be a great idea!
Judee- juicing is so energizing! Glad you like the healthy linky!
I’ve shared a couple of recipes for seasoning mixes, made from scratch. Thanks for hosting!
Hey Rachel, we have juiced almost daily for around three months now, but my husband and I are actually in the middle of a juice fast/cleanse at the present moment. 🙂 We are on our fourth day, and it is definitely starting to get easier for us. (We’re going for 10 days! We’ll see though – my husband is starting to say, maybe only 7 😉 haha!)
All of your juices sound great. I’ll definitely have to try them. This Spicy V-12 juice from Heartland Renaissance is one of my favorite juices if your looking for some good veggie juice recipes. http://heartlandrenaissance.com/2011/05/spicy-v12-juice/
And thanks for hosting this link-up 🙂 I just discovered it today, and it looks great!
My sil loves to juice stuff for breakfast. I haven’t tried it yet myself mostly because I don’t have the money for a juicer right now. I do try to get some veggies in our smoothies though the kids always spot the greens.
Today, I’m sharing a simple chicken casserole that is great for weeknights.
I loooooove juicing! My last host in New Zealand had a Green Star juicer. Amazing! After doing some research, a Champion juicer is on the top of my wish list.
Thanks for sharing the juicing recipes. I know I’ll be trying those soon!
