My feeling about juicing is that you should have as many colors of
the rainbow represented in your juice. It makes for a more balanced
body, raises your vibration and also helps all your chakras spin
clockwise (meaning that they are healthy.) With that said, here are our
favorite five-star juice combinations so far.
Note:
The volumes make about 4 cups of raw juice. You then divide that into
two quart Mason jars and add 2 cups of ice cubes to each jar. Dump the
whole mixture into your blender and buzz it on High to make 4 cups of
diluted juice. This makes enough juice for 2 people for the morning
juicing. Ginger is great for increasing circulation and it gives your
juices a "zip."
Juice #1: Cantaloupe juice with a ½ cup
splash of Knudson's Lemon-Ginger-Echinacea juice (we were trying to use
up what was in the fridge one day about 10 days into our juice fast.)
One whole 8-10 inch cantaloupe makes about 4 cups of juice.
Juice #2: Apple (4 cups), Pineapple (1/2), Mango (1), Plum (2), Banana (2)
Juice #3: Peach (2), Plum (3), Ginger (2 inch chunk), Pineapple (1/2), Kiwi (1), Orange (2)
Juice #4:Apple (3), Peach (1), Banana (2), Blueberries (1 cup), Mango (1), Plum (2) and Lemon (1)
The
fruit juices are definitely more enjoyable than the vegetable juices.
We really tried a variety of fruits and vegetables during our 40-day
juice fast.
General Juicing Rules:
Drink freshly prepared juice
and do not store the juice for over 24 hours. If you can't drink it
immediately, put it into a glass jar (filled to the top) and put a lid
on it to prevent oxidation. Juice rapidly loses therapeutic and
nutritional value during storage.
Raw fruits and vegetables are not always compatible when eaten together. Apples are the exception. You can also mix pears with Jicama.
Melons should be juiced by themselves. Making the entire meal melon is an option.
Avoid using pre-bottled or sweetened juices (like we did in the first recipe.) All the live enzymes are inactivated when they are pasteurized.
Minimize acid juices.
Juices don't stimulate acids to be released from the stomach, but
orange and tomato juice are high in acids and you may want to mix these
juices with other less acidic ones.
About cucumbers. I've
read that cucumbers may not be good to mix with other vegetables as they
are in the melon family, but it seems to work fine for us. We do limit
cucumber to less than 25% of the total volume however.
Don't add more than 25% green juice to your vegetable juices (unless you have a barf bucket handy! Woof.)
Juicing Greens--you
might want to do this in between harder vegetables, the juice sludges
at the bottom and doesn't pour out easily if you juice them first. For
example, I juice a couple of carrots, then a bunch of parsley, then cram
a couple more carrots in after the parsley to get the juicer moving
again.
Dilute all fruit juice with water (one part juice to
2-4 parts water) and drink throughout the day. We've found that 2 cups
fruit juice blended with ½ tray of ice cubes comes up to 4 cups--the
perfect dilution and it's frothy cold.
Vegetable juices need not be diluted.
What to Juice:
During
the fast, select juicing materials and teas specific to your health
conditions. Most of the people I see in my practice do well on the Eat
Right for Your Type diet (www.dadamo.com). Because of this, I recommend
juicing those fruits on the Highly Beneficial and Neutral Foods Lists.
Our fast was extensive, but you don't need to fast that long. A 3-day
juice fast will give you lots of benefits and make your body healthier
and more alkaline which is what you really need to stay healthy.
