Why not start your day with a glass of energizing juice? Instead of coffee midmorning, try a true pick-me-up with a fresh juice break. Any time of day, fresh juice offers one of the best sources of energy available. And its so easy--especially with a good juicer (Choosing the Best Juicer) and some delicious recipes.
The recipes in this section are designed to be user-friendly. For example, a handful of parsley or a handful of spinach is listed instead of two tablespoons of parsley or spinach juice. This makes it easy to grab herbs and vegetables when you are in a hurry without worrying about measuring amounts.
To make the nutrition information in this section as fun and accessible as possible, I have added a Nutrisip with each recipe. Nutrisips are nutrition tips that inform you about the nutritional benefits of one or more of the ingredients in that recipe. They will help you enjoy the recipes twice as much knowing exactly how you are contributing to your own well-being and that of the ones you love.
Keep in mind that some of the recipes are healing tonics and are included in the last part of the Vegetable-Fruit Juice Combinations. Not all of them are as tasty as the other recipes, but I encourage you to use them when they are recommended for your health concerns. They can offer powerful healing components you'll get no other way.
Also, I have specified organic for all of the fruits on the dirty dozen list. A nonprofit research organization called the Environmental Working Group reports periodically on health risks from pesticides in produce. The group says you can cut your pesticide exposure in half simply by avoiding the twelve conventionally grown fruits and vegetables they have found to be most contaminated. At this writing they are apples, apricots, bell peppers, celery, cherries, Chilean grapes, cucumbers, green beans, Mexican cantaloupes, peaches, spinach, and strawberries.
Vegetable-Fruit Juice Combinations
I drink at least two big glasses (10 to 16 ounces) of vegetable-fruit combinations each day that I'm home and whenever I can find juice bars in other towns where I travel. Some of my favorite juice combinations are in this chapter: The Morning Energizer, Afternoon Refresher, Santa Fe Salsa Cocktail, and Allergy Relief.
Most of the recipes in this chapter use some fruit for flavor, but the emphasis is on the vegetable juices. For your health, I recommend that you drink more vegetable juice than fruit juice. Also, some people, such as hypoglycemics, diabetics, and people with candidiasis, dont tolerate fruit juice well. I don't (due to hypoglycemia), and I typically use only lemon or lime for additional flavor. You can omit the fruit in any of the recipes in this chapter and you will still have delicious juice combinations. You also can add water to dilute any of the recipes that may be too strong-tasting or too high on the glycemic (sugars) index, such as carrot juice. Always dilute juices with water for children under the age of two, and never give juice to babies under six months old. (For more information, see Juicing for Babies, Toddlers, and Children)
