Planning Your Vegetable Juicing Recipes
Hopefully, you have your shiny new auger juicer with a list of vegetable juicing recipes in hand. Before you start buying all the vegetables that you can fit into your shopping cart, you should learn some basics that will help you ease into a vegetable juicing diet.
You must incorporate vegetable juice into your diet slowly. Vegetable juicing allows you to absorb more nutrients because the juice is already extracted from the cells for your intestines to take them in. However, not all vegetables are easy to digest, especially the dark green leafy vegetable juice that is very dense. It is better to focus on vegetables that are easy to consume first – this includes carrots, celery, cucumbers, beets and zucchini.
Use vegetable juicing recipes that are based on a variation of these. After a while, when you have no problems with digestion, slowly work in some leafy greens like spinach, broccoli and lettuce to your juicing recipes. Eventually, you should be able to take on almost all vegetables.
As for juicing wheatgrass, I will discuss this at a later time. For now, I will say it is very concentrated and should be the last thing you attempt to juice. Wheatgrass juice is supposed to be drunk in little amounts, and it is usually drank as a shot.
Also, don’t stick with one or two vegetable juice recipes that you like. MIX IT UP! Try juicing recipes that include vegetables you may not like. Reduce the amount called for if you want and use other vegetables to mask the taste. That way, you won’t get too accustomed to a specific diet. Otherwise, your body will have a hard time adjusting to changes of eating habits. You also ensure that you are getting a wide variety of vitamins and enzymes. I’d recommend using your favorite vegetable juicing recipes every 2 or 3 days, and the other days to change it up.
Many people find it hard to deal with the taste of vegetable juice because it is too bitter and too dense.  If it’s too bitter, sweeten it! Consider carrots and beets, as they are sweet. Alternatively, you can use fruits like apples or grapes to give it a pleasantly sweet taste. If it’s too dense, try diluting it with water.
It may take some time to fully integrate vegetable juicing into your diet, but it is definitely worth it in the end! Now let’s get started with our vegetable juicing recipes!
