Looking for a variety of apple recipes for your juicer, look no further!

Health Benefits of Apples.
With all the hype these days about the health benefits of fruits like blueberries, goji berries, noni berries, etc – it is easy to forget about apples! They are still extremely good for you!

Apples are a great source of antioxidant vitamins A and C and also a good source of vitamin K. They contain a variety of minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc. Furthermore, apples are a great source of antioxidant phytochemicals which fight free radicals. Phytochemicals have anti-cancer properties, help improve heart health, protect us from pollution and help to detoxify impurities from our cells. Phytochemicals in apples include quercetins, catechins, phloridzin and chlorogenic acid.

Juicing Apples
It is always best to get organic apples if you can to avoid the intake of pesticides and other chemicals. If not, then it is a good idea to peel them, loosing some valuable nutrition. Many phytochemicals are found in the apple skins and much nutrition is also found just below the skin.

For the following recipes – always wash the apples well and remove stem. Personally we prefer to not core the apples to obtain more nutrition, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. Either way it’s fine. Some of these recipes will contain other fruits.

Juicing Apple Recipes #1 – Red Apple Juice.
3 large apples
or 4 medium size apples
(use red apples of your choice)

Wash apples and take out stems. You can also core the apple if you like, but I like to put the whole apple in. Juice, enjoy!

Juicing Apple Recipes #2 – Green Apple Juice.
3 large apples
or 4 medium size apples
(use green apples of your choice)

Juicing Apple Recipes #3 – Apple and Carrot Budget Juice
1 apple
4 large carrots

Wash and top the carrots. Carrots and apples are fairly cheap produce.

Juicing Apple Recipes #4 – Cold Remedy
2 Apples
1 lemon
1″ slice of ginger

Use only the flesh of the lemon, the rind will taste bitter. This one is great for colds and supplies vitamin C. You can also heat this one up and add a little honey on those winter nights, mmmmm. In the summer, chill before drinking, or use ice cubes sparingly. So refreshing!

Juicing Apple Recipes #5 – Green Supreme
1 apple
1 cup of spinach
1 cup of kale
1 cup of parsley

Wash the greens thoroughly, juice and enjoy. Adding apple to your greens is a great way to sweeten up their bitter taste and still benefit from their goodness.

We have 6 wonderful orange juice recipes for you. From plain OJ to a Tropical Storm!

Benefits of Juicing Oranges
Oranges have become synonymous with vitamin C and has taken the throne as the “morning juice”. You will see more variety of orange juices at the supermarket than any other type of fruit juice recipes. Though, I don’t think packaged orange juice tastes half as good as freshly made juice. Furthermore, fresh orange juice nutrition benefits beats packaged juice hands down.

Apart from its high vitamin C content, there’s other nutrients in oranges. It is a good source of folate and fair source of vitamin A. It is also a fair to good source of minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous and magnesium. And that’s not all – oranges also contain powerful antioxidants called hesperidin and tangeritin. Both of these nutrients have been shown to have anti-cancer and heart health properties.

Juicing Oranges:
Remove the peel from the orange, but always try to leave as much of the white skin on the orange as possible. The peel will produce a very sour taste if juiced, but the white skin contains a lot of nutrition. The pith is also nutrient dense, so I would also recommend juicing that. Follow this advice for all the following recipes.
