    Exclamation Juice Fast Recipes

    K and I are doing a three-day juice fast, starting today. We have a great little juicer and bought a ton of fruits and veggies this morning to put through it. Neither of us has ever done this before!

    For breakfast we drank a carrot-apple-mango-ginger mix and it was delicious. For lunch I just ran a ton of stuff through the juicer - carrot, tomatoes, parsley, garlic, a chili pepper, spinach, celery, an apple just for the hell of it - and then mixed it with boiling water to make a hot soup. It's okay, a little too spicy (I should've used half a pepper) but at least I'm sipping it slowly so it'll last awhile.

    Anyone have any other recipes? We got some beets and cabbage but I can't think what to put them with. Can't imagine cabbage juice would be very tasty, but I bet it cleans you out...

    I would put beet and carrot together with some ginger... YUM! When I worked at Jamba Juice, my favorite juice was carrot and ginger. Then they stopped carrying ginger

    ^ but when you juice the cabbage you lose the cleansing fiber!

    I have no recs of my own but I can google like a mofo to help you out!

    Misc veggie recipes with a couple of cabbage suggestions

    This is pretty extensive and easy! Looks good.

    This one even says what the juices are supposed to be good for!

    Hope there was something yummy in there! I've never tried to make veggie juice although I loves me some V8 so I really should give it a try!

    Not fasting but I do kale, celery, cucumber, apple & ginger every morning and feel fantastic - it sounds weird, but is actually really light and tasty.

    Those sound great! Thanks for the tips.

    I know you're really not supposed to, but I am adding fresh-ground coffee to my juice fast. I was in such headache agony yesterday that I couldn't do anything all day except sleep or lie on the floor moaning. I am addicted to caffeine, so dammit, I am having coffee this morning. I'm having it with apple-carrot-ginger juice, though!

    That's what I want to know. I just did a juice fast (organic 100% no sugar added juice from the health food store), but I only made it 20 hours... my head hurt so bad I let myself eat a healthy dinner. I think it was from lack of caffeine... doh. I'm going to try again next week.

    I had the coffee separately! Sorry for the confusion.

    We made it a two-day fast instead of three; we NEEDED something solid. So now we're doing a seven-day brown rice cleanse - just brown rice, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, olive oil, garlic, and spices. We're still having juice for breakfast but we've had cabbage-eggplant soup with broth made from the juicer, and for lunch today K made a bunch of veggie juice and cooked the brown rice in it, and he stirred the veg pulp into the rice too, and we sauteed some spinach in garlic and olive oil to go with it. Tasty and very filling!

    He made some awesome juice for my breakfast this morning... he sprinkled cinnamon into the juicer, then put apples and fresh ginger through it. It made a sort of pulpy cider juice. It was delicious on a rainy morning!
