If you knew that cucumbers were great for fighting and preventing kidney, urinary tract, bladder, liver and pancreatic diseases, wouldn’t you eat more of them?  And if you were aware that cabbage could help eliminate/prevent constipation, stomach ulcers, skin disorders, prostate and heart diseases, you might look for a ways to eat more of it too!  Well how about making all that super easy with a delicious, nutritious juice!

Apple Cucumber Cabbage Juice Recipe:

2 large green apples (seeds removed)

1 medium cucumber (~ 6 in/15cm)

1/3 medium cabbage (4 c chopped)

 Juice It!

yields ~ .5 L juice (triple that for a monster appetite)

Ravage that Cabbage

I think it is safe to say that I’m on a celery kick!  But who can blame me?  Celery is inexpensive, extremely healthy for you and is a whole heck of a lot better tasting juiced than straight out of the garden!  Plus the celery bunches I bought were the length of my arm and the width of my head!  Thats GINORMOUS!

Today’s juice is a slight permutation of the apple celery juice I posted two days ago.  Whats the new mix-up?  Add a cucumber!

Apple Celery Cucumber Juice Recipe:

2 large green apples (seeds removed)

1 medium cucumber (~ 6 in/15cm)

5 large celery stalks (< 12 in/30cm)

 Juice It!

yields ~ .5 L juice (double that for a monster appetite)

Cel-leh-ry Good Times, Cuke On!

Hooray!  Yesterday, my new Oscar Vital Max 900 masticating juicer arrived!  Which is sooo exciting, because I have been without a juicer for over 3 months now and I’ve certainly missed the loads of fresh, raw, living juice that I used to consume daily!  But this is also great news for you, because now FruitMonster.com will be featuring loads of new juice recipes!  Woo hoo!  Everybody is a winner

Today’s new juice is a combination of Apples and Celery!  It might sound simple and boring, but it is actually incredibly healthy!  Celery is great for juicing due to its high water content and is equally stupendous for your body.  It’s leaves are a particularly great source of vitamin A (important for vision and gene transcription – a cancer fighter!) and the stalk is full of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C.  It is also packed with potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and the full spectrum of essential amino acids (aka proteins).

So why not whip yourself up one of these tasty juices!  Go on, do it!
