58 Delicious and Healthy Juice Recipes to Include in Your Diet

These delicious and healthy juice recipes are amazing: they’re quick to make, flavorful, and packed with nutrients that are essential for your health.

If you’re new to juicing, these 58 recipes can give you a good head start.

Benefits of Juicing

The process of juicing extracts nutrients from whole produce and allows you to consume them in delicious liquid form. It’s especially helpful to those who dislike the texture of fruits and vegetables and tend to seek alternatives.

What’s better is you can get nutrients from different sources in just one drink. Consuming as many nutrients as possible can benefit your body inside and out; they help you fight off diseases and improve your appearance.

Plus, a glass of juice is a good way to make your meals more enjoyable. If you love what you eat, staying on the healthy track becomes easier and feels like less of an obligation.

However, it’s also important to remember you can’t depend on juice alone. Your body also needs fiber, so you’ll still have to eat some whole fruits and vegetables. Experts recommend finding a balance between eating fruits and drinking juices so you’ll get the best of both worlds.

Beverages With Carrots

Besides boosting your immune system, carrots also contain lots of vitamin A, a nutrient that aids eye health and improves your skin tone. The root can be eaten raw or cooked, and it certainly makes wonderful drinks:

Best Time to Drink

Drinking fruit juices on an empty stomach to “absorb nutrients better” is a misconception that regularly circulates about the internet for some reason. There’s no scientific research to back this claim.

In fact, we found that drinking juices with a meal will make you feel much more satiated. Once you’re satisfied, you’re likely to snack less and control your calorie intake better.

How to Store Fruit Juices

A few things happen when fruit juices are exposed to air:

The drink will darken in color. This is due to the enzymes inside the fruits that speed up the oxidation process.
Vitamin C will gradually degrade. The nutrient is also heat-sensitive and is typically lost if it is cooked.

Hence, the key to keeping fruit juices is to limit the amount of air in the container. One solution is to portion the drinks into Ziploc bags like so:

Prepare a water bath.
Slowly drop the bags full of juice, one at a time, into the water bath. You’ll notice that some of the air is pressed out.
Carefully lower the bag so the water squeezes all of the air out. Then seal the bag.

Plus, colder temperatures deactivate enzymes that would otherwise cause spoilage, so we always store our extra baggies of juice in the freezer. They keep for up to 3 months and are less likely to change in color.
