If you have just received your first Jack LaLanne power juicer and are excited to get started with some delicious power juicer recipes, then you are in the right place. Here are some great recipes that are ideally suited for the power juicer–along with some of the wonderful health benefits that fresh juice can deliver.
Juicer Recipe #1 – Tropicano
2 cups of pineapple flesh
1 medium mango
Pineapples and mango are both fantastic sources of vitamin C. Vitamin C is needed for many essential functions in the body such–as strengthening the immune system, creating collagen for healthy skin and protecting the arteries from oxidative damage that can lead to heart disease. Pineapple juice is great for digestion because it contains very powerful digestive enzymes that can break down protein foods in the stomach.
Juicer Recipe #2 – Apple Zipper
3 apples
1″ slice of ginger root
Juice the apples with their skins on to receive the biggest health benefit from this Jack LaLanne power juicer recipe. One study found that giving apple juice, made with the whole apples, everyday to participants with high cholesterol levels helped to lower their overall blood cholesterol levels. Apple juice without the skins was less effective but still helped a little. Ginger is great for helping with arthritic pain. Ginger contains antioxidants called gingerols that can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body that contribute to joint pain. The antioxidants in ginger also help to protect the cells of the joints from oxidative damage that can also cause joint pain.
Juicer Recipe #3 – B Vitamin Bonanza
1 cup of guava flesh
1 medium mango
1 cup of grapes
The combination of guava, mango and grapes in this juicer recipe provide almost all of the essential B vitamins (with the except of vitamin B12 which is not found in plant foods). The B vitamins are essential metabolic agents needed for releasing energy from the food we eat. B vitamins are also needed for creating healthy skin and muscle tone, creating red blood cells and ensuring that the central nervous system is functioning properly.
There you have it. Get started on these delicious recipes today and do so with the confidence of knowing that you are doing well for your body.
