No More Wasted Veggies with Jack Lalanne Healthy Juicer Recipes

February 25th, 2010

Remember Jack Lalanne?  His juicing infomercials have been around for a long time and always give me the urge to eat healthier.  I really enjoy fruit and berries at breakfast, but I seem to waste a lot of the carrots and greens I buy for cooking. 

With some Jack Lalanne juicer recipes, I think I can put to use some of the leftover vegetables I usually have in my refrigerator after a week of cooking dinner.  Some juice extractor recipes treat specific health problems as well if used in the proper combination – and not just during cold and flu season! 

We all know that fruits and veggies are good for the heart, so why not make homemade juice that can help protect the heart, skin, eyes and even liver?  Weight loss programs often require a complete system flush.  Juicing can help with this detox.  Juicer detox recipes often include the very vegetables I have leftover – carrots and spinach. 

Many power juicer recipes blend both fruits and vegetables.  I’m looking forward to the cucumber celery cooler.  Though I wouldn’t have believed celery and cucumber make a tasty drink, combining them with the apple and lemon actually makes for a refreshing, slightly sweet snack that I feel good about.  After making one of my favorite dishes, shepherd’s pie, the next morning I can pop the two or three carrots that are always left into the juicer with practically any fruit for a healthy breakfast drink.  Maybe I can get my kids to eat spinach this way!

What Is The Best Juicer – Juicer Comparison Chart

Juicers are ideal for anyone that is nutritionally conscious about their daily diet. Fresh and raw fruits and vegetables are essential in our daily diet to help with overall need of vitamins and minerals as well as digestive health. Cooking or canning fruits and vegetables can destroy some of the nutrients that are found in raw foods. Believe it or not, three 8-oz. glasses of juice can provide the same benefits of vitamins, minerals, bioflavinoids and enzymes that are in three pounds of fruits and vegetables!

Many drink a glass of juice before a meal because juice appeases the appetite and therefore eliminates the desire for high-calorie foods, starches and foods high in sugar.

Types of Juicers:

  • Centrifugal Juicers
  • Centrifugal Ejection Juicers
  • Masticating Juicer
  • Manual Press Juicer
  • Single Auger Juicers
  • Dual Stage Single Auger Juicers
  • Twin Gear Press
