Power Juicer Recipes

So you have found a number of vegetable juicer recipes that look enticing but have not get purchased a juicer for the job, then fortune would have it you stumbled upon this post just in time. Vegetable juicing requires a more specific juicer than for juicing fruits. But many people who are new to juicing wouldn’t know the difference and make the mistake of factoring price into the juicer purchasing decision. The recommendation that I’m making right now, and take it for what it is worth, is first determine how much you want to spend and be prepared to spend all of that amount. Then when shopping for a juicer, look at the specifications and quality of the juicer with disregard for price. This way you are not tempted to rate one juicer above another because of pricing. This is the only way to really find your ideal juicer.

The reason we want to take price out of the equation is because of the impact it has on the purchasing decision. When it comes to juicers, the difference is in the resulting juice. High quality juicers will produce better quality juice and we will go into more details soon.

For vegetable juicer recipes, be sure to pick a juicer that is designed to handle leafy greens and such ‘hard’ ingredients. The best thing to do is get a juicer is can handle leafy green vegetables and can juice anything from that hardness down to softer ingredients like citrus fruits. This way you only need one juicer to handle any juicer recipe that comes your way.

Any ideally high quality juicer operates at low speeds so as to not damage the micro-nutrients in the ingredients. High speed blades can cause shock damage as well as generate too much heat and unnecessarily ‘cook’ the nutrients which changes the chemical structure. It also helps to get a well designed juicer for easy clean up to make sure your juicing experience is enjoyable.

The most important thing is to make the most of your delicious juicer recipes by maintaining the high level of health benefits. The first is by using high quality ingredients. This means organic, no chemicals used in any step of the production process, and fresh. The second is by juicing it with a juicer that doesn’t alter your precious nutrients and minerals.

The juicer recipes in this article are great for combating hangovers after a night of heavy drinking with your buddies. Fruits are high in sugars, nutrients, and minerals that help rebalance the body. Juicing fruits and vegetables to into drinks make it that much easier to consume especially in large quantities.

Hangovers resulting from over consumption of alcohol are caused by the toxicity of the alcohol and dehydration which can be offset by taking in high doses of counteracting nutrients in natural fruit and vegetable juices. For some people of lesser intelligence, their tolerance threshold has no bearing in the decision to continuously abuse and disrespect their bodies. For these people, precautions to hangovers are a useless waste of words. If you fall into that category just skip to the juicer recipes below.

For those who end the night with a trace of consciousness left, try drinking a fruit juice that is high in fructose, a form of fruit sugar, before going to bed. The sugar can help metabolize the alcoholic chemicals that cause hangovers. Of course, drinking lots of water will help flush out the toxins. Add a pinch of Celtic sea salt to every 8oz of water up to a maximum of about 8 pinches a day. Staying hydrated will help ease the hangover.

Cantaloupe and Watermelon Juicer Recipe

A simple recipe is cantaloupe and watermelon juice. These fruits really help to flush out the toxicity from your system. Just remove the rinds and cut into pieces to fit the feeding chamber of your juicer.

Cauliflower and Broccoli Juicer Recipe

One of my favorite recipes is to juice a cup of cauliflower, a cup of broccoli, one apple and two oranges. Calcium and magnesium in the cauliflower and broccoli help prevent and relieve headaches. If it’s a severe case of headache from hangover, juice and drink this recipe two or three times or until the headache eases up. The vitamin C from oranges helps detoxify your system.

Beets, Celery, Spinach Juicer Recipe

If you’re looking for a soothing calming effect try this juicing recipe of beets, celery, and spinach. Juice a small or medium beet root with two ribs of celery and a handful of spinach. Add a teaspoon of spirulina powder for the B vitamins. This juice is a very potent detox recipe so you will have to remember to drink lots of water to keep the toxins flowing. Beet root juice is great at detoxing the body of alcoholic toxicity specifically. Celery is a great source of calcium and magnesium that has a calming effect on the nervous system. Spinach helps the circulation system and will help balance your head.

Bitter Juicer Recipe

A very bitter juice recipe calls for bitter gourd, half a grapefruit, and whole lemon with peel. Before attempting this juice, it helps to have tasted bitter gourd before. Or be prepared for a level of bitterness some people cannot stomach. Still it’s another great juicer recipe for cleansing, repairing, and nourishing.

When deciding on what power juicer to buy there are four variables to consider. Knowing what you want to juice will means picking a power juicer that will best juice the ingredients you put into it. In the case you don’t know what you want to juice regularly, consider looking at centrifugal ejection machines as they are the best all-purpose juicers. There is a difference when it comes to ingredients such as wheatgrass as opposed to someone who just wants orange juice. If you want to make a wheatgrass shot it will require a special juicer because that is one of the hardest ingredients. Low-speed juicers are better than centrifugal ejection machines for juicing leafy greens since their low speeds reduces the amount of nutrient degradation cause by the heat of faster moving blades. A citrus juicer is designed specifically to juice recipes that consist of oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit.

Centrifugal ejection juicers as I mentioned are great for all-round purposes. They are usually simple to use, versatile in the varieties of ingredients you can put into it, and are moderately priced. These juicers separate the pulp from the juice into a separate container. With centrifugal models that do not separate pulp from juice you will get more juice out of your ingredients but they require you to stop juicing to discard the pulp and are harder to clean.

The warranty of your power juicer also makes a difference. It can range from 90 days to 15 years and some manufacturers offer a longer coverage for the motor than the rest of the parts. The length of the warranty usually is directly correlated to price, but not always. A moderately-priced juicer averages about a six-year warranty.

If you’re looking to juice vegetables and leafy greens, a masticating juicer, also known as double-auger juicers are the best for these types of ingredients. They are designed with a slow, grinding motor that doesn’t use as much electricity but will take more time to juice. The benefit of this type of design is that it although it may take more time it can produce more juice with less pulp.

If being as eco-friendly as possible and finding a low wattage is important to you, the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer requires only 250 watts and are priced affordably around $80 to $100 dollars.
