Hi everyone!
As usual, I hope you’re all having great weeks. I was delighted by the response to my last post on juicing and blending—it sounds as though this question had been on some of your minds for a while! And I was delighted to see that the post provoked this question, from my friend Briana:
“Gena, I would love to see some of your favorite fruit and veg combos for juicing. All of your recipes are so good that I’m sure your juice recipes would be awesome, too :).”
My pleasure, Briana!
Here are my top ten favorite juice recipes. All of these are tried and true staples in my home, and they’re also proven to be big hits with my friends. I’ve included a mix of fruitier juices (for newbies) and more alkalizing, vegetable rich juices for my juicing pros out there. All of the recipes yield between 24-32 oz, and the procedure for all is the same: throw the ingredients in your juicer and go!
As with all of my recipes, think of these as templates, not prescriptions! Feel free to modify them as you like by adding or subtracting ginger, lemon, garlic, different veggie mixtures, or – if you do supplements – whatever supplements you like. There possibilities are endless, and now that summer is here, you have many warm months to quench your thirst with top juicer recipes. Enjoy!
Gena’s Classic Green Juice
I drink this juice every single morning, and often twice a day. Feel free to add some lemon if you like (and if you have a Breville, you can put it right into your juicer) to make it “green lemonade.” You can also omit the ginger if you don’t like it spicy.
And if you’re really hardcore about your green juice, go ahead and omit the apple!
1 green apple
1 inch knob ginger
5 large stalks celery
1 cucumber
1 large handful parsley
5 stalks kale
The Pink Lady (inspired by Café Blossom)
I don’t typically go for the fruitier juices, but the first time I had this juice – at the lovely Café Blossom on the Upper West Side – I was hooked!
1 pear
1 beet
1-2 inches ginger
1 ½ cups pineapple, in chunks
Veggie Ginger Juice
A standard “mixed veggie” concoction that’s spiced up by the ginger. This is a great “warming” juice for the cold months.
3 large carrots
1 beet
1 green apple
4 large stalks celery
1 large handful of spinach, parsley, or other dark green
1 small cucumber
1 inch knob ginger
Carrot Romaine
This is a terrific juice for anyone who is new to juicing! It’s sweet, but it still benefits from the alkalizing romaine. It’s a big hit with kids, too!
6 large carrots
1 head romaine
Cucumber Pear Cooler
An amazingly refreshing and simple summertime treat.
And although I’m not a drinker, I must confess that I can imagine this would be a terrific cocktail base! 😉
1 large or 2 small cucumbers
1-2 pears (depends on size)
Summertime Mojito
A virgin mojito that is fresh, simple, and delicious! ‘Nuff said.
1 cucumber
1 large pear
1 large handful mint
½ lime
Think Pink
A green twist on the Pink Lady.
1 beet
1 green apple
1 pear
6 large leaves romaine
1 inch ginger
Baby’s First Green
This is the perfect elixir for anyone who’s a bit new to green juice! Sweet, but not too sweet.
1 large pear
1 apple
1 cup pineapple, cubed
4 large stalks kale
1 cucumber
Greens and Carrot
A wonderful, nutritionally rich, and cleansing juice.
½ head romaine leaves
4 stalks kale
5 large stalks celery
1 cucumber
4 large carrots
Sweet and Sour
A sassy sweet combination that awakens the palate, this is equally fun without the grapefruit.
1 apple
4 large carrots
1 beet
1 inch ginger
1-2 cups grapefruit
Happy humpday!

Hello,
These juice recipes look great! But I am a diabetic-2, and wondered how safe is this juicing for me?
Thank you for this recipe
Hi Bridget,
This is definitely something to discuss with your physician! It’s likely that some of the juices with higher fruit content may not be suitable for you.
Cheers,
G

The writer has done a great job. Its summer time and what better time there could be to get detox water with lemon and cucumber.
I am a vein care expert and I know its essential to have fruits if you care about your veins thank you so much for such a nice information.
I loved the classic green juice 🙂
I feel that many people forget how healthy these kinds of juices can be, especially with all the vitamins and minerals associated with raw unprocessed foods.
Juicing just makes me feel lighter and clean. Your body feels like its brand new. I love Greens and Carrot juice by the way. I only do juicing like 2x a year, is that okay? Or should I do it monthly.
If you want to heal something, you really need to do it every day!!
Omg thank you so so much .. actually i have science project and i choose detoxifying juice .. Your’s is extremely delicious and nutritious .. thank you …i’ll try changing your recipes here and there though
