Juice Fasting Recipes and Ideas...

[cali209]

Is there any juice fasting recipes/ideas out there that I dont have to buy a book to learn about?

My brother and I will be doing a 10 day juice diet starting Monday probably so looking for ideas and the such on what people drink through the day that is known for being very cleansing.

We are doing this to cleanse as well as kick off our weightloss diet which will follow.

Also, is the master cleanse diet how to's and recipes available anywhere for free? Seems I have to buy a book to get the info. Its mainly 3 ingredients right?

Thanks for any info!

Personally, I just juice whatever I feel like and is in season.

Carrots are in most everything as they give a lot of juice and are very affordable. I might take 3 of those, an orange, a fuji apple, a handful of berries, juice that, blend with some ice cubes, a banana, cinnamon and spirulina.

I keep in mind that juices that are predominately vegetables are high nutrition / low calorie whereas fruit is the opposite.

There are not really any rules as far as the number of vegetables or fruits you can juice together. The only thing is that you should keep fruits and vegetables separate. The exception is apple, which can be juiced with vegetables. To not overdo the calories, you might want to water down your fruit juices. For a better cleanse, stick to mostly vegetable juices. Juices that contain celery and/or tomato are a little higher in sodium, so they might appeal as a more savory juice, whereas anything with carrots will taste sweet. For a good liver cleanse, you can try carrots, apple, beets with greens (start slowly on the beets). Play around and make just small amounts until you find some you really like. I'm sure there are tons of "recipes" (suggestions of combinations) on the internet. Just google "juicing recipes". Good luck with your juice fast.

Thanks for the info so far...

On juice diets do you usually get constipated?

What are the worst days for toxon release? The first few?

As for the toxins, it seems to depend on how many times you've tried to detox before. The first time is always the worst but after that it's pretty simple - at least for me.

On a juice fast, typically days 3-5 I will be lethargic and then the energy spikes for the rest of the fast.

Has anyone experienced positive skin results (ie acne rielief) with fastiing?

[sport]

Below are some that I have collected from other sites.

Jogger’s Paradise
3 oranges
2 hard pears
1 small yam
Here is a muscle-blasting, power-pushing juice recipe for joggers. Clean blood, clean muscles, and enzyme-rich, nutrient-packed, fuel make for intense aerobic activity. Try this juice out on a five-mile jog. Add a little crushed ice and let your taste buds sing. Sip slowly.

Flying Orange
2 pears
3 pink grapefruit
1 sweet potato
A delicious alcohol free party pleaser that will blow both socks off. Ask the host if you can take your juicer to the party. Enjoy an enzyme high without a nasty hangover.

Taste of Heaven
2 carrots
1 sweet potato
2 apples
thin slice of Spanish onion
pinch dulse powder

Athlete’s Super Fuel
1/2 watermelon
1 lemon
5 oranges
1 can frozen pineapple concentrate

Fantastic Fertility
3 hard pears
1 cantaloupe
1 sweet potato

Citrus Slurp
1 grapefruit
1 orange
Citrus juice made from a hand citrus juicer and a centrifugal force juice extractor can be quite different. The electric juice extractor produces a thick frothy juice, which is more tart. The quality and the nutritional value of the two are similar so it is only a matter of preference. This is an awesome wake-up and is healthier than coffee. It may take a little more time to make, but you will gain time because of the sharp mind that you will have in whatever you do.

The Hyper House Cleaner
2 yams
1 beet
1 slice Spanish onion
2 lemons
1 celery
slice of ginger

Pineapple Piper
1 pineapple
1 sweet potato
4 oranges
As far as taste this has to be one of my favorites. Even the most skeptical taster will be won over by this sweet treat.

Race Runner
1 lemon
2 radish
1 beet
1 slice Spanish onion
2 sweet potato
1 celery
2 Tbs. cider vinegar
A sweet and zingy flavor. Choose raw cider vinegar with mother present. A great detoxifier.

Red Ice
1 beet
1 sweet potato
2 apples
1 lemon
1 tomato
thin slice of Spanish onion
1 garlic clove
1/2 can of frozen apple concentrate
Crush ice or blend with water till slush. Add juice and get ready to chill out. Cool down those forces of frustration. Be at peace in the storm. This drink is made to refresh your cells. Sit back and consider your blessings. Look at what is with in. You are kind, loving, encouraging, full of hope and at peace.

The Pain Remover
1 lemon
1 orange
3 hard pears
3 apples
Bruises, aches and sprains can be irritated by a toxic bloodstream and a high-protein diet. But a low-protein, natural diet, lessens irritation and reduces inflammation. Not only does this juice taste delightful, it assists in the healing process. Perfect food sustaining perfect bodies. It is our heritage to be healthy and pain free.

The Brain Stimulator
1 oranges
1 hard pear
1 yam
1 grapefruit
1 apple
Scientists have determined that we use only 10 percent of the brain. Living on coffee and donuts reduces that percentage to 2 percent. Here is a juice to stimulate all of that unused percentage back into activity. For this juice to be effective, you need a five-day juice fast to clear the coffee, donut and junk food residues out of the bloodstream. Once clear, this wide-spectrum, nutrient-rich juice will stir the brain into super-activity. Better memory, sharper thinking and good study techniques are the tools for great marks. No more morning brain fog. Now you can leap out of bed to study while brushing your teeth and preparing for the day.

Super Duper Spicy Tomato
3 ripe tomatoes
1/2 green or red pepper
1 celery stock
1 apple
1 Tbs. Good Tasting Yeast
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 Tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Do you enjoy bungi jumping? How about sky diving? If you have an adventurous personality, then this is the perfect juice for you. When you are fasting, drinking this juice may make you feel like you have just eaten a large pizza. If you are on a cleansing fast, eliminate the good tasting yeast.

Fabulous Fennel
1 fennel bulb
1/2 beet with greens
2 apples
If you enjoy the taste of licorice, you will love fennel. This unusual vegetable looks like fat celery with feathers. Fennel helps your eyes to increase in sensitivity, overcoming night blindness. Some have found fennel juice good for relieving migraine headaches.

Garlic Breath Delight
2 tomatoes
2 apples
1 clove of garlic
sprig of parsley
This bacteria buster means business. Garlic reduces blood pressure, helps with the problem of blood clotting, lowering the LDL which increases bad cholesterol. Garlic boosts the immune system and encourages the recovery of heart attack victims. Garlic contains allicin which inhibits bacterial growth and fungus, helping with yeast over-growths, and useful in treating candida. Garlic increases the flow of digestive enzymes and encourages detoxification through the skin. The addition of parsley helps in combating the unpleasant odor of garlic. This juice is worth losing a few friends over.

The Cancer Killer
1 beet
1 carrot
1 celery stick
1/2 potato
1 radish
Rudolf Breuss's, anticancer mixture has helped thousands of suffering people. This juice blend, during fasting, exerts a death blow on cancer. This was attested by over 24,000 patients who wrote him describing relief from their diseases. His patients were given small amounts of this juice over 42 days. A tea composed of nettle, St. John's wart, marigold, artemisi and monarda was also given. By "starving out" the cancer, Rudolf Breuss reported a 96% success rate for the thousands of patients he treated over 30 years of practice. (Rudolf Breuss died in 1989 at 93 years of age.)
Its composition is: 55% beet root, 20% celery root, 20% carrot, 3% potato, 2% radish.

Apple-berry Better Bladder
2 apples
1 1/4 cups of cranberries
Cranberry juice is a powerful healing tonic, filled with quinine which changes to hippuric acid in the liver. Hippuric acid is able to assist in the removal of purines, uric acid, urea and toxic build-up in the prostate gland, testicles, kidneys and bladder. An excellent preventative juice for North American men who are battling the increased risk of prostate cancer. It is a wonderful defense against yeast infections for women. Cut apples into wedges, seeds and all.

The Niagara Falls Cleanser
1 wedge watermelon
1/2 lb. red grapes
Watermelon rind has chlorophyll, vitamin A, protein, potassium, zinc, iodine, nucleic acids and enzymes which aid digestion. Ninety-five percent of the nutritional content in watermelon is in the rind. The seeds may be a little noisy but are harmless to the juicer.You may be curious about the name. When you put a sloppy wet piece of watermelon in the juicer it comes out like Niagara Falls. Because watermelon is a great diuretic, your kidneys and bladder will experience a honeymoon of youthful health.

Tom's Favorite
one cantaloupe
5 ice cubes
dash of cinnamon
Juice the cantaloupe and blend with cinnamon and ice cubes.
This juice recipe has become our favorite drink. Stunningly refreshing and full of flavor. Has more than 15,000 I.U. of vitamin A and over three times the vitamin C content of an apple. It also contains myoinositol, a lipid which helps with anxiety, insomnia and in battling hardening of the arteries. It also contains the greatest amount of digestive enzymes. Melons are recommended by the American Cancer Society as powerful agents in the fight against intestinal and skin cancer. Cantaloupe contains approximately 100 calories, yet it is dense in nutrients. This makes melon a perfect food for healing and weight loss. Delicious, filling and low in calories.

Has anyone experienced positive skin results (ie acne rielief) with fastiing?

absolutely!!! as you detox you skin may get a little worse if that's how your body is releasing the toxins, but once they are detoxed, your skin will glow!

there are a few things you should not juice:

banana
avocado
mango (if you do, water it down as it's very thick)

i find the fewer the ingredients in my juice the more my body likes it. so i keep my juices down to 3 or less... usually either mono or perhaps 2 ingredients.

all the best!

What do you guys do when juicing and not having any BM's?

I think I'll be eating an apple here and there to help and adding some psyllium husk to my juices...

And I have a senna tea as last resort.

If Im using psyllium should I be taking probiotic or something to put back friendly bacteria? I read that somewhere...I was hoping that juices would be enough...?

I like to use an intestinal cleanser which I take just before bed. I think it's important to keep things moving out since cleansing is what we are trying to accomplish during a fast/feast.
