30 Days of Juicing

Drink, Juices & Smoothies

    First, Ms. Peggy Harris, I love that you are so active and trying to formulate a real plan. I wish you the very best of luck! WS, like Peggy, I think more information would be helpful. Should I be substituting a meal with these drinks, or supplementing a meal? Thank you for any additional information!

    Love the series of recipes. However, think this would be a difficult time to start due to the cost of many of the fruits in the winter. More suggestions on how to manage this with the daily diet would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

      Forget the juicer. It removes the fiber and wastes it. They are a pain to clean. Buy the best Vitamix you can afford. It will change you and your family’s life. Simple, easy to clean and no waste. It also does a thousand other things in the kitchen. It changed our life. Seriously.

    How many servings does each recipe make? It seems like a lot of ingredients for one drink (i.e. 2 pints blueberries, 2 pints blackberries and 3 pomengranates= 1 drink?)

    Hi- Can you explain this a little further? I love the idea and all the healthy juicing recipes but am a little confused. Are you saying this is all I should consume for 30 days? day 1: the juice of 2 pints blueberries, 2 pints blackberries, Seeds of 3 pomegranates and so on? Shouldnt there be some balance of protein?

    Can I use my vitamix to do the “juicing” if i don’t currently have a juicer?
    Thanks for all your help

    Hi Maya, each recipe serves one person, though volume amounts will vary based on the size of your ingredients. And you’re right — you’ll find that berries do not yield a large volume of juice, while larger fruits like pineapple do. Enjoy!

    Hi Anne,

    Our 30 recipes are designed to help you consume more nutrients from fruits and vegetables — starting with sweeter ingredients and slowly adopting earthier, nutrient-dense ones. They are not designed to replace your normal meal routine or to be used as a cleanse. Each juice serves one person (volume can vary based on the size of the ingredients juiced).

    That said, they’re all delicious and nutritious, so we hope you enjoy! You can drink the juices any time of day as a supplement to your normal meals, as breakfast, or however you like. They should simply be incorporated into your diet for more nutritional benefits.

    As for the Vitamix question, you can use your Vitamix to make smoothies, but not juices. Learn more about the difference here: http://blog.williams-sonoma.com/to-juice-or-to-blend/

    Best of luck!

    You can make juice with a blender like a Vitamix if you strain with something like a nut milk bag. I know a lot of people say that juicing removes all the fiber but it actually doesn’t. It’s mainly the insoluble fiber that gets removed (although even a small amount of it remains). A lot of the soluble fiber remains in the juice which helps to lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar.

    I have both the Breville fast juicer and the Hurom slow juicer. I prefer the slow juicer and cannot even begin to describe the positive difference this made in my life.

    I also have the Vitamix blender and I prefer the juicer for making juice. I have a health condition and juicing made dramatic differences in my life. I have been telling everyone I know to buy a juicer and get started.

    I use my juicer to replace one meal.

    I’ve made it a natural part of my day because of the dramatic positive results.

    Yea, I’ll do this when I hit the lottery. At today’s prices, 1 drink will cost about 8 dollars or more!

    These recipes are great! I have a breville juicer and love it. Yes juicing takes a lot of fruits and veg but you’re loading your body with nutrients which make you lose weight and feel amazing.. How much do you spend at McDonalds for one meal? Put down the McRib combo with a large coke people and pick up a bunch of kale. Stop complaining produce costs too much. it doesnt. Look at how much you spend in garbage processed foods everyday and how much you spent at the doc in copays each year. There’s your juicing budget right there. You have priorities, mine is my health.. My junk food budget and my copays are both zero. Is your priority your health? Or does Pizza Hut win your last $20?

    I have a Vitamix and don’t really understand how you can put in a whole fruit (such as an apple or pear that have stems, skin, core). And the same goes for oranges with peel and seeds. Are you really able to eat those all together with kale. etc.?

  19. Lisa

    From what I understand all they are doing is showing you the different juices you can start your day with – not ONLY drink this every day! Juicing is a meal and most people probably don’t have the imagination to make different drinks. This is not a diet plan so i really don’t get why so many of you are confused.
    You can go on a juicing cleanse diet – please do it wisely, with the help of a plan!

    I’ve had blenders and juicers of all kinds but my latest and greatest new find is the NUTRIBULLET. The infomercial does not do it justice. Wash your fruits and veggies of choice and put them in with skin, seeds, steams (minus a few like apple seeds which are toxic when blended). You can add nuts if you like…even avacado for creaminest. Blend and enjoy…Super easy cleanup…you get ALL the nutrients. Bed, Bath & Beyond with a 20% coupon is the most reasonable price – $79.99. GREAT buy and wonderful mini appliance.

    The 30 juices featured in the plan are delicious. They are filling, fresh tasting, and very light. Preparation is quick, and clean-up is easy

    Hi Anne and shoe gal, I have a correction on my earlier statement about juicing with your Vitamix. You can use your Vitamix to make “whole-food juices.” Whole-food juices are the combination of the juice and the fiber from whole fruits and vegetables prepared in the Vitamix machine. You can make extracted juice in the Vitamix machine by straining the whole-food juice through a filtration bag or fine mesh strainer.

    Hope this helps, and enjoy!

    Hi Susan, it’s best to drink the juices as soon as possible after they’re made, but yes, they can be frozen. Hope you enjoy!

    So glad I stumbled upon this! My Hubby has been juicing the past few mornings and this is just what I needed to take the hassle out of finding more recipes. And thanks to Jen who took the time to prepare a shopping list! Very helpful!

    I am actively considering buying a Breviile slow juicer in order to gain the nutritional value of what it can produce. But all the earlier recipes in the above list rely on expensive but sweet and tasty fruits. They all have lots of natural sugars in them with high carb values. Doesn’t this negate the value of these juices for weight loss dietary purposes? Almost like drinking OJ having dissolved various vitamin powders in it first. It woud be useful if these 30 juice recipes included their calorie counts.

      Hi Eric, yes, many fresh fruits are high in sugar, but they can be useful as people are introduced to juicing for the first time. The juices above are organized by color, but they also generally start out more sweet and fruity, and gradually become more vegetable-focused by the end of the 30 days. If you’re looking exclusively for lower-sugar vegetable juices, we recommend trying the green juices at the end.

      You can read more about juicing for nutrition here: http://blog.williams-sonoma.com/karen-ansel-rd-on-juicing-for-nutrition/
