JUICE Recipes

This is a tribute to my mother in law Victoria, a true masterchef and my mother Helga, comfort food specialist. Included are all the recipes they prepared, some original recipes from professional chefs, my own creations/favorites, and several entries on knowledge I collected over the years about health/nutrition/medical conditions/home remedies. You will find answers to every common health issue browsing through my collection.

subheading: DON'T JUICE:

Banana + Avocado..........almost zero liquid content (don’t bother putting in juicer, because you’ll get zero juice from it)

subheading: JUICING MISTAKES:

absorb max nutrients + not overdose on TOXINS found in certain vegetables

TOXIN issues..........1. NO PITS.....2. Thyroid function hampering Goitrogens found in cruciferous vegetables (e.g. cabbage, broccoli, kale, mustard seeds).....3. VARIETY is critical

drink SLOWLY.....digestion starts in the mouth

drink RIGHT AWAY for maximum nutrition

drink on EMPTY STOMACH 10 min before meal for maximum nutrient absorption

do NOT EXPERIMENT.....use RECIPES

little FRUIT (beware of sugar)

no more than 25% DARK LEAFY vegetables (can cause vomiting)

subheading: avoid BITTERNESS:

Citrus fruits (e.g. LEMON, LIME, GRAPEFRUIT) help mask vegetables' bitter taste..........these citrus fruits have almost zero sugar, so no worry about spikes in blood sugar (AVOID ORANGE....contains high sugar)

subheading: dilute STRONG FLAVOR:

add CELERY, CUCUMBER, ZUCCINI.....high water content dramatically increases volume in any juice recipe..... also a trick to dilute any ingredient with strong flavor, such as leafy greens.

Cucumber (1. neutral flavor won’t affect juice flavor.....2. diuretic, helps flush out toxins from liver+kidneys)

subheading: SMART COMBOS:

rainbow principle.....add different colors into your juice.....get all nutrients each color brings

80/20 principle............. 80% vegetables (roots, leafy greens) / 20% fruit not more than 25% dark green leaves (induces vomiting + gets too bitter)
