If you are staring a juice cleanse, then you need some juice cleanse recipes! There are a lot of helpful books, websites information galore on the juice recipes you should try. My favorite thing to do? Is get recommendations and trust friends who have already tried some!
For my juice recipes and what to buy preparation I went to friends and the good ol’fashion NYC fruit cart guy! With there recommendations and recipes I had more than enough to work with to get my grocery shopping done for a weeks worth of juicing!
Here were the recipes my friend Amanda tried out and loved:
Mean Green
6 kale leaves
1 cucumber
4 celery stalks
2 green apples
1 lemon
1 piece of ginger
Green Goddess
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 handful watercress
4 broccoli spears
1/2 pineapple
Beetles
2 beets
2 apples
3 celery sticks
BerryKick
2 beets
3 carrots
2 apples
2 oranges
1 celery stick
a piece of ginger
And some I would add:
SuperOrange
2 Oranges
4-5 Carrots
1/4 of Papaya
Carrots
Celery
Apples
Bananas
Blueberries
Strawberries
So to prepare myself I went out first looking for the recipes I would be using and then buying the necessary ingredients. You want to make sure not to buy too many too far in advance since fruits and vegetables are best when they are fresh.
Many times people think that doing this or eating in a healthier way is expensive or that cannot afford it, but it is NOT! I think it is just a sorry excuse for people who are too lazy to show their body some love 🙂
I went to a local farmers market and came out with a cart full of stuff enough to last me one who week! for 2 people drinking juices I spent a total of $52, the cost of 3 cocktail drinks at a hip NYC club.
Have a favorite juice recipe you would like to share?
