How to Do a Safe Juice Cleanse at Home
In this video, I interview juicing expert @MelodyOrganics on how to do a safe juice cleanse at home.
Below the video you will find a few juice recipes.
Here are her 5 expert tips:
1. Thoroughly wash your produce before you juice to make sure you’re drinking clean produce and not bacteria or dirt.
2. Buy organic to ensure that you’re drinking pure nutrients instead of pesticides. If you can’t buy organic, try to peel the produce. Check out the ‘Dirty dozen & Clean Fifteen’ for more insight on what’s crucial to buy organic!
3. Make sure you drink plenty of juice!! You should drink six 16oz juices a day!
4. Set a drinking schedule or set an alarm so that you’re constantly drinking at least every 2-3 hours.
5. Juice produce high in nutritional value and low in sugar.
Here are some nice recipes to get you started.
Apple Berry Fiber
Apples are excellent for cleansing the system. The berries provide C, E and minerals.
3 apples
5 oz of cranberry juice (fresh or pure store bought juice)
2 oz of fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon of powdered psyllium (fiber)
Juice the apples then blend the juice in a blender with the cranberry juice, blueberries, and powdered psyllium
Green Pineapple
Refreshing and bursting with goodness
7 oz of pineapple
3.5 oz of broccoli
3.5 oz of cucumber
1 kiwi
Peel the kiwi, and juice the broccoli, kiwi and cucumber. Serve immediately.
Orange Pineapple Chili
This juice is full of vitamin C and the enzymes in the pineapple are great at dissolving mucus that can accumulate in the system. Chiles not only give a nice kick, they also help speed up metabolism. There’s no oranges in it, it’s just orange in color
8 oz of carrot
8 oz of pineapple
½ lime peeled
½ small chili
Juice the carrot, pineapple and lime then throw it into a blender with the chilies and a couple of ice cubes.
Gingered Pear
Pears are a gentle laxative and celery acts as a diuretic. Ginger promotes good digestion.
5 oz of pear
3 oz of celery
1 inch piece of fresh ginger root
Juice all ingredients together and serve over ice or put in a blender with ice cubes to make it creamier.
