How to Make a Green Juice: Video, Recipe & Juicing FAQs

read all about it

Hi Sweet Friends,

I haven’t been able to stop talking or writing about green juice since my first sip. What can I say? That green nectar feels like pure, invigorating oxygen shooting to every corner of my being.

Today, juicing is as much a part of my life as brushing my teeth, but it wasn’t always second nature. I’m reminded of my early juicing adventures each time I receive a question from a reader who wants to juice, but just can’t seem to get the hang of it or is too intimidated to even try.

People think they have to do it perfectly, but the bottom line is you can’t mess it up!

I don’t want anything to stand in the way of you and your green juice. That’s why I made this video and released my book, Crazy Sexy Juice. There’s no better time than today to begin, spice up or revive your love affair with juicing.

So what is green juice and why is it so spectacular?

When you run your produce through a juicer, the pulp is separated from the juice. You may be wondering why anyone would go through all that trouble. Absorption, baby. Since your body doesn’t have to work to digest the fiber, it can easily pull the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients straight into your bloodstream. Plus, giving your digestive system a break means your body can focus on resting and repairing your hard-working cells. Don’t get me wrong, fiber is awesome! But it’s OK to skip it in my glass of emerald sunshine, since radical roughage is a big part of my Crazy Sexy plant-filled diet. Plus, you can fit a lot more vegetable goodness in a green juice (a pound or more!) than you can eat with your fork in one sitting. What else can you drink that’ll do such phenomenal things for your health and put a large dent in your five recommended servings of fruits and veggies per day? (Hint: Nothing beats green juice!)

 

Now that we know more about the how and why of juicing, let’s break down the Crazy Sexy Green Juice Formula.

My handy-dandy infographic walks you through my daily recipe and gives you lots of room to play. See it as a jumping off point and a tool for you to create your own green juice masterpieces! Bring it with you to the grocery store and post it next to your juicer for inspiration.

    Hi Kris,

    Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.

    I’ve added it to my recipe collection. My family will be excited about it!

    If I can’t get organic fresh produce for the recipe, is it ok?

      Hey Alison! This is Jennifer (again). 🙂 While organic is a great option, it’s not available to everyone for various reasons. Kris believes in “progress, not perfection” which could mean a green juice that’s not all organic is better than no green juice at all. Here’a great article on organic produce with a link to Environmental Working Group’s info on the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” which will help you make the best decisions on which organics to get if you can’t get them all. That link is in the “Solutions” section toward the bottom. The Crazy Sexy Guide to Organic Foods

    I love the infographic, makes it easy to invent a free juice recipe.
    I have a crop of silver beet in my garden and been struggling to find recipes, but now I’m gonna use your infographic?

    Hi! Quick question – when I use a juice recipe from Crazy Sexy Kitchen or Crazy Sexy Diet, about how many ounces should I expect from one recipe? This morning I juiced a recipe with 2 servings and had about 8-9 oz. I received a “hand-me-down” juicer and want to make sure I’m getting what I should expect. Thanks for the help!!!

    Thanks for making this article, it really encourages people to be more aware to eat healthy. I really love sipping green juice every single day and really helps me to shed extra luggage. Winter is coming again and in my own opinion, it’s harder to maintain good diet regimen with it. I had found a new program that I think it’s a hot deal for a proper diet even in the coldest winter, and it already helped me to loss 5 extra lbs in just a week.
