Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Recipes – Vegetable Juices
Here are some great vegetable juicer recipes that work great when made with a Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. Included are some of the health benefits these juices can provide.
The Energizer
2 beets
To get the best health benefits of beets, go organic and juice them with their skins on. No need for peeling. The skins are a great source of antioxidants and soluble fiber (soluble fiber makes it into the juice, only insoluble fiber is discarded by the juicer). In a study, conducted last year at Northumbria university in the U.K, researchers found that giving beet juice to cyclists increased the amount of time they could exercise. The cyclist could cycle for 12% longer on average after drinking a daily beet juice for a period of 2 weeks.
The Sweets C’s
4 large carrots
4 celery stalks (including leaves)
Celery juice is one of the most powerful natural remedies for high blood pressure. The antioxidants in celery juice, called phthalides, create a strong relaxing effect upon the arteries, allowing them to expand more. This, in turn, naturally lowers blood pressure.
Carrot juice is a fantastic source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is also referred to as pro-vitamin A because the liver converts beta-carotene to vitamin A as needed. Although carrots are very high in beta-carotene, carrot juices are even better. Beta-carotene binds with the tough fibers in carrots, and even though we release some beta-carotene through chewing, a juicng machine does a better job. Large prospective studies show that those with high levels of beta-carotene in their diet are much less likely to develop heart disease or suffer strokes and heart attacks than those with low levels of beta-carotene in their diet. Beta-carotene also helps to protect the eyes from oxidative damage and therefore keep the eyes younger for longer.
Going Green
4 large carrots
handful of spinach
handful of kale
To get the most juice out of kale and spinach roll them up into a ball before you put them into your Jack LaLanne power juicer. This helps increase juice yield compared to putting these green leafy vegetables in “flat”. Kale and spinach are excellent sources of an antioxidant called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is excellent for detoxifying and cleanse the blood because of its natural anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties and the fact that it helps transport oxygen through the blood. In many detoxification supplements and programs you will often see that chlorophyll is a key ingredient.
